According to some, the sun didn't do that, but the times did lighten her skin tone.

After you posted I did some more research and there does seem something unreliable about how skin tone appears - especially in a cut down photo.

Now has the Sun earned the benefit of the doubt by its history of fair reporting or is their front page fair and even handed.....hmmmm

It's a shame this will undoubtedly perpetuate the debate over everyone's right to not wear one. I prefer a situation where everyone does whatever the fcuk they want. At least there's now a white poppy. I suppose that's progressive rather than the traditional protest response.

Obviously illogical angle from FIFA when you consider Blatter allowed it.

I've never thought of the poppy as a political symbol. A fuss over nothing from FIFA. They should get their own house in order.

How much was the fine for Argentina when they actually held a banner up over the Falklands?

I wear my poppy with pride for personal reasons. Anyone that doesn't like it can f*** off for all I care.

I will remember every single person that sadly died protecting us and all that still do. They were/are out there protecting us, not hiding behind a keyboard.

If he hates the English so much then why doesn't he naff off back to Derry City instead of continually biting the English hand that feeds him so well.
