I don't think that it has, the Poppy has been a part of the nation since it's inception. I do however take exception to footie lads giving the hitler salute while wearing them, gammons I'll give the benefit of the doubt because maybe they were affected by personal loss.
The Poppy is universal and shouldn't be co-opted into the alt/far Right symbolism like they are trying with the Union flag, the flag of Saint George and even the OK hand sign. Hitler had his own flags and symbols, it's about time these cunts started to make their own instead of sullying ours.
There’s a very funny account on Twitter, ‘Poppywatch’... It takes the piss out of Gammons moaning about poppies etc... they have photos of right wing blokes with swastika tattoos and Poppy’s on...
