Where can I get a white poppy?

[Ellbell]

Some time ago, I used to wear a white poppy (for peace) at this time of year. I haven't seen them for some years now. Does anyone know if they are still produced and where I can get one? Thanks

to anarchist-activity link

something about the white rose movement I mentioned ealrier in this thread...weisse rose movement

would be intering what the answers are of those students that take this exam!

Edelweiss Pirates

My uncle used to go crazy when his kids wore the poppy. His view was shaped by the 'exploits' of the Black and Tans after the first world war. Just thought I would throw that into the mix.

and more resistance

drosophila...sorry am being yet again rather blond...but don't really get that black and tan comment.....could you explain,please!!!!!

haven't read it all but looks like a lot of info!

more interesting stuff

They were mainly ex WW1 soldiers who were recruited to deal with the Irish problem. Many were killed and many towns were destroyed. My uncle is a bit of a nationalist.

3AndNoMore, I invite you to ponder the origin of the surname "Connor". I fail to see how my ancestry affects the criminality of so many Germans in WWII.

But I suspect you are trying some sort of Guardian-rader form of moral relativism. Yes, the British have done some bad shit, and as it happens a noticeable % of it wa to my ancestors, though of course the only serious attempts on my life have been made by Catholics Irishmen.
Every nation has a bad history. The mealy mouthed lies and half truths that Irish kids get fed instead of history, goes on at length about British historical sins, but somehow fails to mention the pivotal role of so many Irishmen in the slave trade, and also how many Irish fought in WWII as volunteers.
The Germans were not uniquely bad, socialism killed more people in E.Europe, and both look frankly half heated & amateur compared to the Chinese form of socialism.
The biggest death toll by a single nation in the 20th century does appear to be the British in India, though it depends on which numbers you take.
Mountbatten and the first Labour government should have been hung under any notion of justice.

I'm very surprised to hear that the only serious attempts on your life have been made by Catholic Irishmen, DominiConnor

Are you coming to the meetup?

I suspect there have been quite a few amusing attempts on DC's life.

Seriously "pick whatever side DC's not on" is rivaling "pick the side that can spell" as my quick moral compass method ...

I thought I saw you post once that your name wasn't Dom Connor.

What meet up ?

I'm pretty sure I never said that I wasn't Dominic connor, indeedone post pointed to a picture of me on my blog with "I'm Dominic Connor" written on it.

The Catholic attempts on my life were the only serious ones, a couple of knives waved at me don't really count. (it was that sort of school), though they were a bit more personal.
First attempt was when I was 5, set the tone for my views on Catholics vs children for life. Ironically, they would have called me one of their own, but of course Catholic terrorists killed far more of "their own" than their apparent enemy.
