Well I think all the impdecers should declare our own poppy wearing. How many of us pass the JP Tebbit poppy test? (Andy & I do.)
Anyway in the interests of balance here are some young Muslim voices from the BBC's website. Or you can read more of a digest at Harry's Place.
I always buy a poppy. Sometimes on the morning of the 11th, admittedly.
