Like I said, their protest is distasteful and an insult to the soldiers.  But there are lots of things I find distasteful, and lots of things I do that others might find distasteful.

So a compromise would be, a protest should be allowed. But not at that point in time?

Who decides when?  In 2056?  Next Tuesday?  Suppression of the freedom of speech is the suppression of the freedom of speech.  I don't think you can put a timescale on it.

There's no atmosphere at football games without some away fans.

Very few DO approve, but "approve", & "should not be allowed" are very different things.

Heaven help us if we are not allowed to air our views, as distasteful as they may be.

it was the perfect time and place for the protesters if they wanted publicity.

It's a shame it happened at all, the soldiers had a tough time but were sent there by politicians, they are the ones who should bear the brunt of the anger. I can't see how it's right, however, to disallow the protest. As it happens, it's worse in the States, I understand, they have protests when bringing the dead back.

doesn't strike me as the best idea ever to have a parade of soldiers returning from a conflict that the public were so against and which saw such huge protests as the soldiers left

Nobody is out to get you or cut you down.  Honest.  My brother is in the US Marines and I think it's sweet that you feel so strongly in favour of soldiers.  However, that's the reason the Lads and Ladies in the forces go through what they do...so even the wankers have a say.  Freedom of speech is a good thing, but sometimes it bites.
