It has been suggested that as F.I.F.A Are taking Wales Football team for wearing the POPPY to task. It has been suggested to we all send our used POPPY to F.I.F.A Strasse 20. Box 8044. ZURICH. Switzerland. Please leave the stamp off. FIFA will then have to pay the postage.

I like it! They deserve to have a mass protest like this for their insensitivity. Another organisation full of overpaid people who''ve lost touch with how the rest of the world thinks I'm afraid
For a long time, although I no longer do it now, I used to save all the Freepost envelopes I got with unsolicited advertising and stuff other companies' unsolicited advertising in them and send them back! Right now I feel like doing this with charity offers which contain a freebie Christmas card or crap biro. i know charities need to raise money but once you support them once they bombard you for ever and it'/ harder to remove yourself from their mailing lists than it used to be to unsubscribe from the Readers Digest !
How on earth can a British Legion poppy be regarded as a political symbol. Didn't any of these people making these pronouncements ever study history at school?
