Poppy Sellers Jan & Charlotte

For the last seven years Jan Hinton and Charlotte Warren-Sinclaire have sold poppies in the build-up to Remembrance Sunday and have raised hundred of pounds for the Royal British Legion.
But now they claim that police in Dorset ordered them to stop their door-to-door collection and accused them of being "bogus callers"! And even though they showed their official documents to the police they were still ordered to leave because the police claimed a member of the public had complained.
The officers then allegedly threatened to "pull the plug" to stop the Legion from selling poppies in the evening if the pair did not cooperate! (
Police target poppy sellers!)
Mrs Hinton, 51, whose father served in World War II and was a prisoner of war, said she and her neighbour, 16 year old Charlotte Warren-Sinclaire, were shocked when the two officers approached them.
"Their attitude was just unbelievable. They said we couldn't collect after dark and not to collect this week because it was Hallowe'en...they then said if we carried on, they would pull the plug on the RBL doing house-to-house collections"! "I thought I was hearing it wrong. Who do they think they are claiming they have the authority to make that decision..they wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for my father and all the other people who fought in the war. They ought to be ashamed."
But of course these days nothing shames our shameful police and Dorset Police insisted the officers had said "nothing untoward". But isn't it strange that when a riot occurred on the streets of London the police were notable by their absence, but let a single person complain about two decent British ladies selling poppies and they go in all guns blazing to apprehend the evildoers?
It is ironic that 60 years after the end of World War 2, when millions died to save the world from the curse of Hitler and Nazism, New Labour have spawned a new race of "Little Hitlers" who are proliferating like maggots on a corpse and care nothing for those who gave their lives so we could live in freedom!
