Fine with the remembrance side if it, but the government (we) should pay for it by default.

I always buy and wear Poppies but I do agree with you BitontheSlide. It's a disgrace that they don't receive all the support they need from the State. It infuriates me that St Dunstans has to rely on public donations to exist too - we seem to have ample tens of millions to squander elsewhere on those that not only have never fought for this Country but actually desire it's downfall.
