How would it be viewed on armistice day in whitehall if there was a protest

There were protests on armistice day, there are every year.
The newspapers don't tend to cover them.

There's a lot of irony in that article, the fact it's in the Mail is a huge part of it.

I think that's been highlighted in the comments, but it doesn't really change the story.

It just emphasises the fact that journalists aren't that bright a bunch either.

this is something i think we can all agree on

but then again

[I KNOW IT]

I think kinboshi is spot on.

There seems an agenda in the news media in this country to stir up racial tensions wherever possible.




I find it sad though that the freedom of speech doesn't always work both ways.

This implies that there are only two ways to see things, our way and their way.
It's us and them is it?
Bit reductive is it not?

its not us and them at all.
I just happen to think the right of freedom of speech can become a grey area on some subject matters

The word both implies there are only two points of view.

[I KNOW IT]

The word both implies there are only two points of view.

its better than one point of view

Why do you need a second point of view when the other was correct?

Great idea to parade soldiers through Luton..

they were local soldiers, bedfordshire regiment

I know. But it's LUTON.

so just cos its a volatile area it shouldnt be allowed?

No no, it should be allowed. But  it was not "advisable", all things considered.

We are getting crossed lines between what should be allowed, what we do or don't agree with, & what is "sensible". They are different things.

Parading homecoming Soldiers, just back from Irag, through Luton, is sheer provocation.

GIQ rules.

Wow, with respect, but that sentence sums up what is wrong with society as a whole in these times ... Don't parade British Soldiers who have just returned from a tour of duty in a war zone through British streets in case you upset people ... while you are at it, please don't wave the union flag either, we wouldnt want to upset some poor sensitive souls.

Bullshit, British men and women are doing a job of work in very difficult circumstances, putting their lives at risk daily for less money than a call centre worker ... Parade them around the streets of every fkin town and city in the country imo.

And those that protest should be made to leave their cosy homes with central heating and 42" plasma TV's and spend 1 month on tour with the regiment and see what they do.

Agree Kev
 
Infact Jack Nicholson said it best in a few Good men.

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

It turned out well for Jack in that one...
