The new Right Wing populists
want to permanently end
what they call 'virtue signalling',
where when particular newscasters
who have a notable media profile
outside of their place of work
and being over-friendly with the viewer.
I heartily agree, which is why
I want not to see poppies on the chests
of any news presenter this November.
Let us leave official patriotism to royalty
and the new right wing populists;
as if they alone are virtuous, let virtue
be the main reason that they serve us.
By all means give money to the charities
hat support the veterans of the many wars
fought for king and country past,
where we all sought to be civilised
when the battles were over but don't wear a poppy.
Follow the advice of Jesus; 'Do your good deeds in secret'.
