Are your poppy donations being given to support radical gender ideology? The Royal British Legion is, this year, selling a badge featuring the traditional poppy alongside the rainbow-coloured progress pride flag favoured by LGBTIQ+ groups. Whether they have sold it in previous years, I don’t know. But they’re selling it now.

It is also unclear whether the Legion belongs to the controversial ‘Stonewall Diversity Champions’ scheme. A screenshot was circulating on social media showing that the Legion is (or was) a member of the scheme. But last night the organisation put out a statement saying they do not currently have a relationship with Stonewall, although they have worked with them in the past.

‘Such is the nature of man when clothed in power, that whatever mischief he has not yet done, he is sure to be meditating upon it, and unless he is restrained by the fear of what the public may think or do, he may actually do it tomorrow’.
