Blue Poppy

[SisterI'mAPoet]

what does the blue poppy mean that Morrissey was wearing at Liverpool?
i don't know if he was wearing this at any other gigs?


is it anti remberance day? if so i couldn't see Morrissey having reason for that?
or is it a rememberrance for all the animals that were needlessly killed in the wars?

I know that wearing a white poppy was a symbol for the anti-war and non violence movement in the 1930s. It was started by The Women's Co-operative Guild. I've never heard of the blue poppy. Maybe Morrissey was wearing a red poppy that looked blue due to the stage lights? Or a white one for that matter?

Morrissey was wearing the purple poppy to commemorate the animal victims of the war, as animals were used as messengers for mine detection scouting and rescue.

I really don't believe that to be the case.
I care about every animal, human or otherwise, who have died in rescue situations and I think Mozzer would too.

aww this is such amazing and beautiful news, people do not think enough about the poor animals during bad times. I always get anxious and upset when I see police horses in the middle of riots. Are they ok when they're put through that?

Thank you very much for posting this information. I shamefully admit to being unaware of the purple poppy campaign.
