Kate, I think it might have something to do with the interpretation of the law and maybe a little to do with the fact that the police don't want complaints that they are 'racist' levelled at them.
I agree with Jaysay. I also think that the people bearing placards which proclaimed the regiment to be 'the butchers of Basra' is an act of inciting racial hatred and should have been dealt with as such.
One of the protesters also made the allegation that the soldiers raped and killed women and children. Where is his proof of that? Has he got any proof?

The good news is that the chap who worked airside as a baggage handler has had his airside pass revoked and is subject to an investigation by his employers.....who were keen to point out that he was only ever a part-time employee.......five minutes airside is enough to do great damage if he wanted.....isn't it?
