Somewhat of a debate on the Irish talk stations about whether or not Irish people should be wearing the poppy this time of year.
For: Tens of thousands of Irish people killed in WW1 et 2
Against: The Poppy represents ALL British soldiers killed in action, including those who served time in Northern Ireland, and all the dubious stuff that went on there.....
As an Irish Republican, I don't know what it represents, and I certainly don't have a problem with UK people wearing it, but, does anyone have a difinitive answer as to what it represents?
