In a recent visit to CHina, PM Cameron was "asked" to remove those paper poppy lapel pins. HE DECLINED!
I've been noticing them for a few years. But didnt really focus on why. It's the Brits form of veterans' appreciation for their war dead and current soldiers in combat. We do the same here in the USA with vets passing out paper poppys. OTHING WRONG WITH THAT!
But in CHINA, it seems they were in a few wars with England over opium. And LOST! So now the Chinese expect the Brits to do a "Obama-apology-for-USA-wars-or-past-misdeeds-of history" politically correct apology. BUT DID'NT GET IT!
Isnt this some Communist re-writing of history-indocturination through GUILT form of diplomacy? What good will trying to ignore the past do to effect the present? WIll this silliness end?
