I think it’s best to focus on what he actually said and wether or not it’s true. I am not so sure, for instance it’s more likely that Sikh’s would wear a poppy because many of them fought and died as part of Britsin’s Indian Army contingent that involved around 2 million men. This in contrast to Ireland that remained neutral during WWII. That being said, many Irish did enlist in the British army and fought in WWII.

There are definetly nuances to this issue that are being overlooked in favour of the rush to judgement that seems to be the fashion of the time right now.
