Out of all the world leaders Donald decides to ignore them all to organize a meeting with his good friend Nigel first that lasted for over an hour. The power of Farage is strong.
Well done Nigel. |

I believe that Nigel said he had three pinned to the tuxedo in his dressing room - the one he was going to wear to all those High Profile functions which his dear friend, the President Elect of The Most Powerful nation on the planet, was planning to take him to.

I wear my poppy with pride for over a week at least and he could still have badges stuck to his coat but not his poppy.
Imagine the outcry had Corbyn,May or Farron removed their poppy in public. If he had 3 perhaps he would have done better to pin them to separate coats he was likely to wear along with his other badges. |

I do not know why Farage was not wearing one, but I am sure that there was a very good reason. Yet, the overreaction to this is typical. Here we have an historical moment captured in a photograph, of the FIRST British politician to be invited into the White House to meet the most controversial President elect of all time, and all we can latch onto is the fact that Farage is not wearing a poppy. Farage is a patriot, and the high esteem which he holds our military personnel, and his great reverence for our war-fallen, should be beyond the dispute of even the most extreme of 'Farage Haters', so I am positively certain that for Farage to appear in public at such an important, historic and media intense meeting WITHOUT a poppy, then there WILL have been a perfectly valid reason. Perhaps a poppy was laid out on Farage's dressing table waiting to be affixed to his jacket which was hanging in the wardrobe, and perhaps Farage - for one of a myriad reasons - was 'running late' and amidst all the frenzy, simply OVERLOOKED pinning the poppy on? Perhaps he remembered as he was being ushered off-camera into the room where Trump and the world's press were gathered, and there was NO TIME, due to the strict high pressure split second SCHEDULING, to go back to remedy that oversight. Who knows? What I do know, is that a man like Farage would not DELIBERATELY NOT wear a poppy as a slight to the fallen war dead which it symbolises.

Niamh - just out of genuine curiosity (and genuine ignorance) did you make a typo with the word 'Bowel' or is an Irish way of saying 'Bowl' -- like 'pund' for 'pound'? (As the dear Frank Carson used to exaggeratedly say )

Hmm... just me maybe however if you take the trouble to make sure badges are in place you must notice no poppy.
As I said, and I do not think it an overreaction,ad Corbyn, May or Farron been seen without a poppy, they would have been hammered for that in the media. Sorry Kirk for some reason hitting the quote symbol would not bring your post in play for me to respond to on it, You say he would not deliberately have not worn a poppy,I agree to a point as I would have thought, he would have deliberately made sure that was the one thing he actually had on his coat in public that particular day, even moreso than the badges he is wearing and made sure were there.. |

However there are millions of people in the UK who see it as a visible expression of acknowledgement of the price paid for and by many in wars. Equally there are other ways to show respect too, however for political party leaders in the UK, poppies are worn by them and even moreso on the day allotted as remembrance Sunday. Party leaders get criticised for straying from that expected norm, last year for instance Corbyn was hammered in the media for not bowing his head low enough at the cenotaph and appearing to nod more than bow. They all know they are under scrutiny, now if Farage does not want to wear a poppy after doing so for ages now on remembrance Sunday, that is fine. However just as other leaders would be criticised by a great many I would say,for any move from expected behaviour,then that is what I am doing here. He is at present leader of his party UKIP. Like all leaders he will be looked at as to that and if he can remember to and insist on wearing his badges, all I am saying is how could he not then remember a simple poppy. No, no one should be forced to wear a poppy at all, if they neither want to or object to, and some religious organisations have nothing to do with the idea. That is fine and an individual choice. I am 100% sure though,any mainstream other political leader from the UK who had no poppy on remembrance Sunday, would have been pilloried and probably by UKIP supporters joining in too. |
