Could they sink any lower?
I have a craft stall at a regular market once a month, in our town centre. It is in South East London to give some context.
This morning a group of people were setting up a table at the high street end of the market. They covered their table with Union Jack flags and then got their Royal British Legion poppies and money tins out and put them on the tables. They then taped “Join the Reform Party with us banners on the front of their table, about 5 of them had banners and placards saying the same.
At lest 3 members of the public were loudly vocal in their disapproval and the police were called more than once.
One of this team had been drinking as soon as the pub opened and got more and more drunk to the point he was then grabbing women and trying to dance with them.
They all wore the pale blue and white rosettes proudly declaring their membership of the Reform party.
I asked them if the Royal British Legion were aware of them using the poppy campaign to broadcast their political beliefs, at which point I was sworn at by the drunken man.
Was I unreasonable to then call the RBL to report what I had seen? I don’t want a memorial emblem to be hijacked by any political party. They were horrified that this has happened and are going to investigate who the volunteer was that was responsible.
