I quote:
"In particular, it is noticeable with each passing year how few members of ethnic minorities wear poppies. This is hardly surprising when one considers how different groups have been encouraged by the liberal establishment to retain their own cultures at all costs. Remembrance Day is seen as a tradition of the majority culture, of little relevance to minorities, and thus not one to be unduly encouraged"
Could you please produce some statistics to back up the statement "...how few members of ethnic minorities wear poppies..." as I wouldn't want to think of this article as some ridiculous knee-jerk reaction to anecdotal evidence and plain opinion.
I, by the way, whole hearted support Rememberance day, but see very little value in forcing people to support the day. In fact, one sure-fire way to put children off something is to force them to do it.
