I like poppies and what they stand for, but I simply hate people for turning them into a self absorbed status symbol.

Spot on.

The self-righteousness of some people about it is ridiculous.

Also, she might want to remember her trysts with gangsters, extramarital affair and 5 abortions before judging others simply for not wearing a poppy. I know which I think is worse.
