How the utter hell have the colour of poppies become the province of religious idiots? We commemorate the dead, whose blood unquestionably flowed red. That's the symbolism of it - not to be tampered with or pulled into this madness in the press. It's not a matter of political correctness, it's a matter of biological correctness.
If one wears a white-centred poppy in honour of those executed with white squares pinned to their chests, then that's fair enough - that doesn't cheapen their honour or memory with religious claptrap.
Here's the link to the article on the BBC - see if it makes any sense at all to you:
