    That’s generally calmed down in recent years.

    Worth pointing out that wearing the poppy doesn’t make you right wing at all, it’s just you get daily mail readers online fuming about someone forgetting to bring their poppy to work

      I don’t think it has. There has been outrage in certain area of the press with David Lammy not wearing one recently, as well as various guests on news shows, and sports people.

        David Lammy definitely should be wearing one as Deputy Prime Minister. But your average bloke on the street doesn’t necessarily have to. News guests - it would depend who they are.
