It makes me so sad to think of what people went through to fight for a future that has resulted in this.
Having been in the ATC and attended the parades at the Runnymede Air Force Memorial as a teenager, having met people who fought and people who lost their friends and loved ones in those conflicts, it will always be about the people. Fuck the poppies. As long as people remember why we wear them I don't care if they wear rainbow striped ones.
I used to be one of the cadets who sold poppies for the RAFA; at London Bridge Station, the other day, two young ACF cadets sold me mine. Those are our future. I wish more kids were involved in the CCFs.
I wish more people understood; and I wish the soldiers who have died in the recent conflicts had given their lives for a more noble cause than this.

They deserved better.
