Konnie hosts the Xtra-Factor program and I wonder why she decided to opted out of wearing a poppy, last night... is it because she is Muslim, ignorant or just nonplussed?

Not 11th of the 11th or Remembrance Sunday?

Maybe she agrees with John Snow. Incidentally I also agree with John Snow.

I didn't realise it was mandatory to wear one.

Perhaps she forgot!
I bought a poppy and it fell off somewhere in Newcastle at the weekend. Does that mean I don't care? It's Remembrance Day today - I'm sure she'll be wearing one tonight. |

This is the sort of poppy-fascism that isnt needed. Wearing a poppy is an individual statement, its not mandatory - and never was. Just because a person doesnt wear a poppy doesnt mean they dont have the same morals, standards and respect for freedom and how its earnt as those who do wear them.

You could well be charged with littering offences and incitement to racial hatred.

Silly thread man. She can do what ever she wants. It isn't an offence if she doesn't wear one.

Try telling that to certain sections of the tabloid press
The day we follow them as paragons of virtue is the day we are doomed. What a great society we've becoming... |

And why did you ask why?
The UK can manage to celebrate Nov 5th, days before and even weeks after the day but a remembrance like today is falling under PC laws?...is it really to much trouble to wear a poppy for the fallen of this country and remember the losses of other countries?

The Italians switched sides too so it's not without precedent.

I don't wear a poppy. Don't see a problem with it really.
Too busy with Afghan's kibble, I assume. |

The poppy judgement here is getting as bad as all that flag pin stuff during American elections.

The chances are that she had to change clothes just before the show started and someone forgot to put the poppy back on her. Things can get quite hectic just before a show. Hardly something to get upset about.

No, but some people don't like being morally blackmailed into wearing a poppy. That doesn't mean they didn't donate to the campaign
