npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) they were controversial right from the start. They probably reached a peak in the 60s when pretty much everybody wore one on armistice day (the day, not the Sunday)
But since then they have gradually and naturally declined until about 5-10 years ago when they started really being pushed.
They should have been allowed to die a natural and dignified death, not suffer the indignity of flogging a dead horse.
Sadly it’s now becoming a nationalist tin-thumping festival.
