Poppy Evasion

Here's a something that made me laugh - from a recent edition of Private Eye. 

I'm not sure if the people who write such things are already bonkers before they go online - or if it's the time and energy they spend on sharing their great thoughts - that actually drives them over the edge.  

Either way it brightens up my day.

Protesters to repeat poppy burning

I have no truck with the Muslims Against Crusades or their annual 'Hell For Heroes' protest with its tiresome poppy-burning ritual. I'll say this for them though: at least they buy a new poppy every year, even if they burn it.

But what of the weasels who flaunt the same faded poppy year after year? Introduce a different colour poppy every year. That will soon stop this insidious poppy evasion. The robber barons of our local authorities could then take a day off from their extortion and intsruct their army of 'parking wardens' to impose a hefty penalty on anyone without the right colour.
