Remember Celtic was founded by Irish immigrants who were more than likely affected by the British armies involvement in Ireland, or know someone who was, and seeing how Celtic are always consistently told to keep politics out of football until Poppy season comes along where they are forced to have a Poppy on their shirt, they have a reason to protest.

I will remember the troops who I think fought and died for a worthy cause, but I will remember them in my own way, I don't need no Poppy to prove this. I believe that nowadays the Poppy has gone astray from its original agenda, as I now see it more as a way to garner support and glorify any wars the British army becomes involved in. Just my opinion.

The same ones whose sacrifices allow you to spout your bile without fear of being persecuted.

History obviously not your strong point ? Here's a clue, look for International agricultural depression.

seeing how Celtic are always consistently told to keep politics out of football until Poppy season comes along

Poppies & remembrance services are non-political & are there for all nationalities & religions of the fallen.

I don't need no Poppy to prove this. I believe that nowadays the Poppy has gone astray from its original agenda, as I now see it more as a way to garner support and glorify any wars the British army becomes involved in. Just my opinion.

Common sense, it appears is also not one of your stronger suites.
