Josh... no one wants anyone to die. I'm going to clear up my position for you then I don't want to talk to you about this again. My husband died as a result of wounds received in Afghanistan. He was not a war monger, he didn't want to be at war... so if I want to wear my red poppy in remembrance of him, and be proud of him, and be a little pissed off that the white poppy brigade are hijacking the day, then I will be a little pissed off. If you want a white poppy day, have it some other time.
