That is the news headline in the Telegraph.
A spokesman for Bodycare’s parent company, GR and MM Blackledge, said: "Employees are only allowed to wear their uniform, and charitable pins would not be considered part of the uniform.”
The spokesman said the company did not differentiate between charities, having decided to ban all wristbands and charity emblems.
Is this spokesman a brainless idiot who just recites company policy.
Does this spokesman have any form of common sense?
Does this spokesman realise what sacrifice the soldiers of both world wars and who have died since?
Does this spokesman know what sacrifice really is, or is his idea of sacrifice, for example missing lunch, working late, missing a football match because he has to work.
I hope this guy, and the company, finds out how stupid they are. I hope people boycott this company until they change their minds on their employees wearing poppies.

The poppy is our way of showing the men and women of our armed forces, past and present, that we honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
If i ever meet this spokesman for Bodycare, i will take him to the nearest Royal British Legion and ask him to tell the old soldiers why no one in his company is allowed to wear a poppy.
