Campaigners have accused the Royal Britsh Legion of going ‘woke‘ after it released an £8 Poppy Appeal badge. 

Outrage erupted after the Legion announced the new pin, that paired the iconic red poppy with the multicoloured Progress Pride flag. 

The flag, which includes elements representing binary, intersex, trans, and other marginalised communities, was selected over the more traditional rainbow flag.

A spokesperson for the organisation said that the Pride flag is widely accepted as the most ‘inclusive symbol for sexual orientation and gender identity’, The Sun reports.

Veterans and campaigners have taken to social media to voice their anger over the badge.
