Always wear a poppy. I believe the money goes to those men and women who have been injured fighting for us. The original idea came after the First World War when 150,000 Scots died - a terrible total from a nation of only five million people. And that is not to mention the wounded. It was a private gesture from Lady Haig and nothing to do with the government while making poppies gave work to many men injured in the 1914-18 conflict. If we had lost that. . !
