Alongside, our recent Poppy exhibition explores how the flower became a symbol of remembrance over the past 100 years and tells the story of Anna Guérin whose poppy appeal helped remembrance take root.

How on earth can anyone think the Democrats are extreme?
Such people must be brainwashed. The Democrats are stultifying dull... and also quite bad at combatting a rapist, child molesting, insurrectional, racist felon. Who, apparently, likes people to go hungry.

Obviously a lot of people don't know Trump did what he did.
Of course I'm a bot, I'm currently on time and a half in St Petersburg fooling the very simple English folk. It's just too easy!
We're after Nandy next, just you watch her resign soon. We are such buggers!

Like that will make a difference to those who throw accusations at the BBC?
Time to expose them.
I'm not one of those people who cry "my country right or wrong" but all this kerfuffle is really a storm in a tea cup.
Recall when Johnson and Sunak broke the law? Johnson several times. Consequences?

... forgive me if you're not a bot, and I merely disagree with your above opinion.

You look like a bot tbh.
The BBC can act wonderfully and do the right thing and yet the same people will still be calling for it to be gotten rid of.
And we know who those people are and why they want it gone.

One thing good coming from all this is that the punishment felt by these ppl is so terrible that no one will ever dare try it again!
Look at Trump - incited a coup and what ever became of him?
The USA is truly in the toilet.

It wasn't Panorama though was it? It was a separate independent company. Plus, it alters little. Trump's full speech is online. He instigated a coup.

Sometimes I really wish I were right-wing; they seem to have it so easy - lie, cheat, steal, lie again and win, and get what you want despite it being against the law.
It must be wonderful.

Incredible that Trump instigated an attempted coup and, not only escapes punishment, but becomes president again (and pardons ppl convicted and merely accused) and yet people lose their jobs for reporting the facts slightly out of order.

Its symptomatic of why Isis (insert nasty group of choice) will beat us in the end! Where's the "can-do" mentality of turning that into something useful - like a piece of public art
I've saved the image and enlarged it and still don't know what it is. If its metal I could store winter harvest in it

From now on only publish Trump's speeches verbatim - all the ums, ahs, all the diversions to talk of sharks and grabbing women's genitals and ogling naked teenage girls.
Otherwise, you may lose you job and your organisation get sued.

Well, he voted for them so it's partially his fault.
Hard to have sympathy for him seeing as he even paid to be a "member" when that comes with no rights in the "party" he joined.
