If the Scottish Parliament is going to ban staff from wearing "personalised lanyards and/or pins and badges showing support for social movements and towards campaigns or organisations" then poppies absolutely should be part of that ban. heraldscotland.com/news/24201876.…
Rainbows are not acceptable but something as controversial as the poppy is absolutely fine? Ludicrous.
@MrMcEnaney I wonder if white poppies will be OK? Purple ones? I’ve seen an lgbt poppy as well…
@MrMcEnaney The poppy is specifically mentioned as not being prohibited, nor should it be.
@MrMcEnaney What absolute nonsense!! You do realise these men and women honoured by the poppy died for our freedom? 😡
@MrMcEnaney During the yes campaign, I was made to remove a yes badge from my lanyard but my HT could continue to wear his no badge.
@MrMcEnaney Oh FFS, manufacturing a poppy grievance in March is a new record. It's either the latest ever recorded of the old poppy season or the first of the new one. Either way, it's embarrassing whitabootery.
@MrMcEnaney I’ve long argued that the unquestioned poppy wearing in schools, around armistice day, must end.
@MrMcEnaney Why?. What's controversial about the poppy? It's non political.
@MrMcEnaney For many years, I wore a company outfit. We were allowed to wear small personal items of adornment along with it, but nothing political, nor sports related, or religious. What's the fuss here?
@MrMcEnaney A symbol of remembrance to those who lost their lives for your freedoms, is not quite the same, as you well know. What an absurd thing to say.
