David Cameron finds himself in hot water over poppy photoshop

After the actress Sienna Miller became subject to vitriol over the weekend for failing to wear a remembrance poppy during an appearance on the Graham Norton Show, politicians and celebrities alike are now doing their best to show off their poppies at any opportunity.

Today 10 Downing Street even changed their Facebook profile photo to one of David Cameron sporting a poppy. However, Cameron’s remembrance efforts have since been questioned as Number 10 have been accused of photoshopping a poppy onto an old photo:

The original photo from July had no poppy:

His team have since managed to find a photo of Cameron wearing a real Remembrance Sunday poppy:

With Cameron now accused of being a fraud over the photoshop, perhaps Jeremy Corbyn will be on hand to offer him some words of support — after all it’s usually the Labour leader who finds himself making the headlines when it comes to failing to respect the Armed Forces.
