I read The Bible avidly every day* and I have never come across that verse.

But charities are not allowed to be political and the BL are a charity - they are only allowed to campaign politically in a way directly related to their object - so they can lobby re War pensions or medical treatment for injured servicemen but NOT over whether to go to war for example.

Therefore how can their symbol be in itself political

In itself, it isn't. It depends who's wearing it. A swastikai, in itself isn't. But when it's worn by Nazis it is.

Are you available for parties? With a sense of humour like yours and your sense for the ironic, you'd go down a storm! wink.gif

FIFA's ambition is to build relationships, not divide. By providing a canvas for 'non-commercial announcements', they stand to cause resentment. The Poppy Appeal as it is today is not universally admired, being that it supports British people in service and involved in conflicts.

Like it or not, the Poppy Appeal is going political by the virtue of this thread, if nothing else.

I take it this is just men's football and not women's football then.

What if one of the women were called Poppy? Would she banned from playing? Surely all football teams should now represent the ethnic and sexual orientation of each country. Players should be picked not on talent but on sexual orientation and ethnicity....

FIFA lifted the ban on woman wearing the hijab on pitch. Now I don't have a problem with this but clearly some people do and will.
