Is that the even, unbiased, non political reporting that the BBC claims or is it exactly what we have come to expect from OUR broadcaster?

Water cannons are for wimps. OK....maybe I'll settle for CS gas, rubber bullets and Rotweillers on the loose.

I do think there is a political agenda at play, as to why the BBC have chosen largely to ignore yesterday's outrage.

Part of the problem is that for years the liberal elite have pandered to minority groups, instead of forcing them to integrate.

Historically wave after wave of people have come to these islands, over the centuries. They still managed to keep their cultural identities, and religious beliefs, but they became part of British society.

State funding should be withdrawn NOW, from every group and organisation that differentiates it's self on religious or racial lines. It's divisive, in that it separates, rather than bringing anyone together.

As Mancie posted, everyone in this country should be free to protest.

However, British citizens should not be legally allowed to call for the deaths of our serving armed forces.

Americas' citizens, one of the most racially diverse countries on the planet, turn incandescent with furious rage if someone burns their flag, yet we sit idly by, whilst what made this country great is quickly being eroded.

The sooner our government realise this, and take into account the views of the vast majority of British people, and ignore the snivelling, idiotic, politically correct, wooly headed, do-gooders, who perpetrate division, the better.

It sickens me to have witnessed on TV the crass, cowardly back-pedalling of the powers that be when it it is plain for all to see that this bunch of anarchic nerds are behaving in such an appallingly disrespectful manner towards our war dead. They should be swept down the nearest sewer and drowned in the filth that they espouse on an almost daily basis. Their passports and British citizenship should be withdrawn immediately and this scum, together with their rabble rousing counterparts thrown out of the country with no recourse to return.

People are justifiably sick and fed up with these increasing instances and will sooner or later take to the streets, but is the government listening? No chance!

As a result of that, the Met have been issued with new guidance as to how to deal with troublesome protestors. They can't wack 'em any more; truncheons & boots are out. The most they can now do is snatch and contain. That is why we saw all this 'do nothing' nonsense on wednesday night outside the Millbank Tower & the cops standing by in front of the poppy burning 'ceremony'.
