A distinct lack of outrage?

Ha ha outrage has begun

The Poppy is a Remembrance and charity cause.

The “bosses” are fearful that it looks like they are condoning war or some cause or other so the chickens at the top ne’er do want to offend for fear of being seen as colonial war mongers so advise the non wearing of items.

Never have the few managed so hard not to offend the many

 

Or: never have the few managed the many so hard not to offend the even fewer...

 

Just to add to the snowflake element of the conversation: don't all people who collect military items from simple cap badges to Tanks and re-enactors glorify War whilst the Poppy and organisations such as the RBL are simply acts of Remembrance and consequently nothing to do with glorifying War.

What's the real term for being frightened of upsetting others to the extent that you yourself sacrifice your own freedoms of expression?.......

 

Ha ha what about "The Butchers Apron"

Come one come all

 

Here we go


Nice to be able to have that choice to be an activist who like to be apologists and obliterate history.
Oh yes its called democracy assume Oxford will voice next

Cambridge University’s Student Union (CUSU) has voted down a motion to promote Remembrance Sunday amid fears about the “glorification” of conflict.

The motion called on the university, its colleges and faculties to be “more proactive in promoting the cause of Remembrance".

This could include asking for a minute's silence on Remembrance Sunday or sending email reminders to students about the availability of poppies, the motion said.

It encouraged the commemoration of British veterans, adding that CUSU should "ensure that Remembrance Day becomes a well-established and well-marked event across the university”.

But the motion, which was put forward by two members of the university’s Conservative Association, was rejected by students during their first meeting of the new academic year.

The move came after an amendment was voted through, which noted the efforts of various organisations to “reshape remembrance away from glorification and valorisation of war” and to campaign “against militarism”.
The amendment, proposed by student activist Stella Swain, struck out references to “British war veterans”, “Remembrance Day” and “Poppies”.

Instead, Ms Swain argued that “all lives lost and affected by war” should be commemorated and that students should be encouraged to engage in “productive criticism” of war.


She said she wanted to “reflect the status of the University as an international institution” and argued that it was “vital that we recognise all different background and don’t just focus on British war veterans”.

James Palmer, mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, said the motion brings “great shame” to Cambridge and shows “disdain” for the armed forces.

He told The Daily Telegraph: “It is something I find very difficult to comprehend – that [students] can’t be grateful and respectful of previous generations and their sacrifices.

“It is easy to judge from a distance when you have the luxury of a safe and comfortable democracy. We have an enormous debt to armed forces in this country.”
