That opinion piece bounces around quite a lot; it's seems to be quite a mixture of things / groups that have stopped his desire to wear a poppy. He mentions Brexit six times (plus uses the phrase "gammon") and, regardless of opinions on that issue, I wonder what it has got to do with the Poppy Fund? The guy states "They are pushing some of us away from the poppy – and harming the British Legion’s invaluable work by reducing its funding." I, too, dislike the goal of some folk in seeking to prove "look how much I care"... but, if he feels the funding and work is "invaluable", I feel that he'd be better off challenging those folk rather than stopping visibly supporting it.
But, hey, it's his choice and you gotta respect peoples desires on this front.
