Murdoch media empire and Sky in particular started pushing it in 2003 to garner support for the illegal war in Iraq. Think Leicester were the first to put them on the shirt. Snowballed from there.

Tbf, no Englishman or Scots Protestant is going to come out on national radio over there and say he's right not to wear the poppy (no matter if they hold such an opinion privately). Sounds like an entirely pointless conversation really, unless they have a contrary viewpoint on there?

It was on an entirely pointless radio station tbf.

What a load of crap ! 

Any other player getting racial abuse and the FA go to town on the guilty but James has to "Live " with it !

The chants that he posted on his Instagram 2 weeks ago were disgusting and are clear as day for all to hear but nothing will ever be done about it .

I wonder what happens to this money?

The RBL is the wealthiest of Britain's ten biggest military charities. Between them, these ten have combined assets of £1.4 billion, plus reserves of £277 million, prompting increasingly angry accusations of 'cash hoarding.

This never seems to get questioned in the Brits media.
Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world

I'd say a lot listen to talksport. Can't remember ever getting a taxi in Liverpool or Leeds/Bradford during football season without talksport being on the radio.

If anyone can't see why James, of all people, doesn't want to wear that stupid poppy, then they're xenophobic and shouldn't have a platform.

Agreed

You can tell you're absolutely dying to blurt out "thick paddy" LOL
Why, as someone who is himself a "paddy", would I want to do that?

However 'pateen' got it right.
