The movement for a protest in UK appears to be gathering momentum.
There are Facebook pages for regiments as well as a main protest page.
They are arranging gatherings of soldiers, ex soldiers and members of the public, at war memorials on 24th July.

The national gathering is to be at the Cenotaph, but whether that will be the 24th or 28th appears undecided yet.

Many war veterans are planning to attend and to return their medals.
That comes across as the bigoted "Opinion" of a union leader.
Stick to what you know about.
I would sooner see our troops performing in ceremonials than coming back in boxes.The days of numbers for cannon fodder have long gone and so it should be.
