Stores stocking white poppies has more than doubled in the last five years
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
THE number of stores and outlets stocking white poppies has more than doubled in the last five years as the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) launched its annual campaign this week.
Almost every city and large town in Britain now has at least one white poppy seller ahead of Remembrance Day next month.
White poppies stand for remembrance for all victims of war, along with a commitment to peace and rejection of any attempt to glamorise war, with money raised going towards promoting non-violent approaches to conflict and producing educational materials.
