A popper seller was forced to leave Edinburgh Waverley over the weekend as pro-Palestine protesters staged a huge sit-in at the station.
The elderly volunteer was forced to leave the station, with the help of train staff, according to the Scottish Poppy Appeal.She left after being surrounded by protesters displaying 'Freedom for Palestine' posters, with hundreds of demonstrators on the concourse.The protesters say they decided to stage a sit-in at the station after police 'blocked' their protest route.
We mustn't allow it to become like this," he said. "London is a big City; there are plenty of areas to protest - the right for which Servicemen and women are proud to serve - without appearing to try and intimidate ordinary citizens trying to collect a bit of cash for Poppy Day - a non-political symbol." A spokesperson for the Poppy Legion has since confirmed that the trio of volunteers are well and will continuing to sell poppies.
