Lining their own pockets? was this not a charity as well?
The money primarily goes on selling / promoting their poppies. What’s left over goes on ‘education’ which as far as I can glean is anti-war propaganda. “Charity” or no, the only people to benefit from your ‘donations’ are the people flogging poppies.
Having sly pops at another charity doesn’t exactly endear me to them either. But if it’s still not clear, let me summarise:
It’s disrespectful. Whether you agree with it or not, people have died to defend their country.
You want to celebrate / promote peace, go ahead. There’s 364 other days in the year, pick one.
