White poppies are warn by those who are pacifists but still wish to Remember those that have fallen in war.
It is worth noting that many who wear a red poppy (me included) are very much against war but realise that some wars have had to be fought.

Will be interesting to see who is actually doing this as it is not anything to do with the British Legion. Anybody know please?

There's a whole charity organisation that do it. Just type 'white poppy' into google and you'll find their website.

The vast majority of people are pacifists ijn that we all hate wars. If the wearers of the white poppy are remembering those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice or have been injured physically or mentally then wear the international symbol of remembrance, the red poppy.
Give those who do wear the red poppy 3 wishes and you can guarantee that one of the 3 will be to end all wars and that we live in peace.
