Poppy oneupmanship

[tryptych]

Flicking on the news yesterday, I saw the Queen at Remembrance Sunday wearing what looked like 5 poppies stuck together. What's that all about? Do any other public figures wear more than one? Or are they not allowed to upstage Her Majesty?

And is it just me or do politicians, newsreaders etc seem to start wearing their poppies earlier every year?

I would like her to wear one massive one, like you get on the front of cars.

Flavor Flav style?

This ironic given the faceless PC eurocrats are pissing on our war dead by BANNING POPPIES* at the palace:

BBC employees have all been mandated to wear one for 12 days before and 12 days after.

Afghanistan must have a bumper crop this year!
