Talk:Remembrance poppy

The sentence "In 1997 and again in 2000 the Royal British Legion registered the Poppy under Intellectual Property Rights (1997 Case EU000557058)[34] and Trade Mark (2000 Trade Mark 2239583).[35]" has links 34 and 35. Link 34 just says '75' and link 35 just says '76'. I think it got created that way. This seems to be a relevant edit from around the time the sentence was added: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Remembrance_poppy&oldid=632664785 and this is the change where the sentence was added: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=632664245&oldid=632601795&title=Remembrance_poppy SandJ-on-WP (talk) 08:21, 4 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

He damned well must wear a poppy?

edit

There "is a rather unpleasant breed of poppy fascism out there – 'he damned well must wear a poppy!' Well I do, in my private life, but I am not going to wear it or any other symbol on air."

As well as the Jon Snow comment, might it not be useful to have a section on Poppy Fascism and forced remembrance? For what was the point of people killing and being killed to defend freedom, if personal freedoms are now restricted? And why should media presenters be shamed into wearing a red poppy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.157 (talk) 10:55, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
