But he is Irish and many Irish people were killed by the British Army during all the troubles.
'The poppy is especially controversial in Northern Ireland and most Irish Nationalists and Irish Catholics refuse to wear one due to the actions of the British Army during the troubles.'
Most it says. Why the fuss? Personal choice and in no way do I see it as disrespectful.

But I do think that is different. In that circumstance you would actually be disturbing people while they try to have the 2 mins silence. You would actually be infringing upon their right to have the silence.
Simply not wearing a poppy doesn't have that same effect. That is a personal choice that doesn't infringe upon anyone else's individual right.
Making noise during a silence is completely different and is disrespectful.
I guess it would be different if he had started shouting his mouth - "i aint wearing not f-ing poppy" yadda yadda yadda incidentally Tulisa on x-factor has not worn poppies in the build up to Remembrance Sunday both this year and last year but she seems to have escaped persecution!
maybe their silence would be infringing my right to not be silent
If thats what he chooses then so be it. I choose to wear one, he doesnt! We're all entitled to our own opinions, and to make choices we see necessary. Doesnt make my decision or his decision right or wrong
