The British Legion has demanded that BNP leader Nick Griffin stop wearing poppies in election campaigns.
Yesterday the military veterans charity published an open letter, saying: "The poppy is the symbol of sacrifices made by British armed forces and it has been paid for with blood and valour.
"True valour deserves respect regardless of ethnic origin. Everyone who serves their country deserves nothing less.
"Our chairman appealed to your sense of honour, but you responded by continuing to wear the poppy. So now we're no longer asking you privately. Stop it, Mr Griffin. Just stop it."
