religion or belief discrimination | meaning of philosophical belief

In a pre-hearing review, an employment judge has held that an ex-serviceman's stated belief that "we should pay our respects to those who have given their lives for us by wearing a poppy from All Souls' Day on 2 November to Remembrance Sunday" is not a philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010.
