Yes that is what I was thinking of . And yes I think it was meant
ironically. But isn't it inscribed on most war memorials?

If you're thinking of "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori", then I'm
pretty sure Owen meant that ironically.
Rob, I think you've confused "poppy facism", where to non-wearing of a poppy
is considered unpatriotic, with "communal respect", where once a year a
minute's silence is held. Easily done.

Hope not! I would be proud of any Leeds fans who made a stand against all
the ridiculous poppy fascism which consumes this country every November.
What?!?!
I generally let most of the posts here that annoy me go thru to the keeper,
but this one Rob is "almost" offensive. Im an ex soldier, my granfathers and
father all served in either WWI or WWII - against FACISM - not that they
were fighting a name, but I digress
Im extremely honoured to have a Rememberance day and in Australia an Anzac
Day, to celebrate the efforts of the folks who shaped the countries I
live(d) in
Maybe you disagree, which is your right, but surely for something as
sensitive as this you could always just STFU
