I agree, I think there's an argument to say they're missing the big picture.

But we can't really change how that community feels about events of that day, or how they view the poppy.

If you're from that tight-knit community, where some of your family and friends will have known - or even been - victims of Bloody Sunday, then the last thing you'd want to do as one of the most well-known people from that area is upset them by wearing a poppy on your shirt.

Aye. I get that. That's why I wouldn't slag him off over it. Besides it'd defeat the object if we became fascists over poppy wearing.
The BBC have already gone too far down that road.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
