Hijacking the poppy

[muddy]

Falklands War Veteran Simon Weston is outraged that pro-Gaza activists are selling pseudo Palestine 'poppies 'ahead of Remembrance Day - and calls on the Government to intervene .
"I believe they should stop anybody impinging on the commemoration of sacrifice for a greater peace."

"It's disgraceful, it's appalling but it's not only that it's DISRESPECTFUL."

Not even the poppy is safe .

I've just been reading about the man who designed this 'poppy'  AN NHS doctor, Abdul Qader Ismail has been unmasked as the designer of the "Palestine poppy" which has sparked fury from veterans.

Dr Ismail, from Birmingham penned a series of books that cover subjects including stoning.

He wrote in one: "These punishments are meant to serve as a deterrent... and any excuse is found not to apply them."
