Why is poppy day becoming banned, but holocaust remembrance becoming more encouraged?

No one is "banning" poppy day and couldn't if they tried. 

If some people choose not to wear one for whatever PC reason or excuse, or whatever..............that's on them. 

I defy you to tell the Queen she can't wear a poppy on Poppy Day. 

Poor Stevem with his poor

reading comprehension.

Like every other aspect of the Democrat administration, they want laws that support fairytales, not facts.

@Tina. Looks like I should have clicked the links, huh?

Just goes to show that I can admit when I make a mistake. It's a pity that you can't do the same.

It is impossible for something to 'become banned' - it is either banned or not banned. it is possible for a practice to be discouraged, but there is nothing in the article you attach to suggest that wearing poppies *is* being discouraged.

Fifa bans "any political, religious or commercial messages on shirts" it is not a 'Remembrance Day outrage" the ban is not new and goes for everyone. Also the date of the article is 2016, so if it's the latest 'outrage' that means nothing has occurred in the last five years.

There is no such thing as 'Poppy Day' - you may mean 'Remembrance Sunday' but poppies are worn before and after Remembrance Day.

I think this is nonsense, and the reference to Holocaust Memorial Day sounds like an attempt to stir up antisemitism - you should be ashamed of yourself.

Ed you say: "Poppy day is the common term used by locals for remembrance day. It is disrespect to try and correct someone elses culture."

Local to whom - I don't use it, nor have I heard any Londoner do so. And do you mean 'disrespectful'? it's a great deal more disrespectful to try to connect the alleged banning of Remembrance Sunday with the commemoration of Holocaust Memorial day.

Ed @Dave - I have to break it to you that the Democrats have absolutely nothing to do with the British Government and so no influence over Remembrance Sunday - which is being celebrated quite normally in Britain. The questioner is simply being silly.

Don't refer to the Holocaust as 'fairytales' it really is very tasteless.

Ed. Dave - can we expect see a list of your admitted mistakes:

Your story of "the Zionists" plotting to put Britain at a disadvantage so she would have to ask for USA to join WW1 by financing the Bolshevik Revolution nearly a year AFTER the US had entered the war makes no sense.

Your claim that "the Zionists" started a 'hate campaign' against Hitler before he was actually born, by reporting on real events in Russia and repeating the figure 6 million - when the reports really involved figures of 3 and 5 million as well is ridiculous. So is your idea that it resulted in world-wide sympathy for Jews. If only.

Your repeated use of forged or altered quotes denigrating the Jews.

That would do for a start.

Oh, and what mistakes of mine have I refused to acknowledge?

It's not called Poppy day but remembrance Sunday and it hasn't been banned at all.

Remembrance  Sunday and Holocaust Memorial Day are two different things

Holocaust Memorial Day 2021 is Wednesday, 7 April.

Remembrance Sunday is held on the nearest Sunday to November 11th.

This year being held on Sunday, 14 November.

It isn't being banned, that article is from 2016 and it still exists.

Why shouldn't Holocaust Memorial Day be observed?

The two are not mutually exclusive anyway.

ETA: Alright, why should the observance not be encouraged? I was trying to keep it simple for you.
