Why No Mention?
 

Much was made on T.V. the other day about the student demonstration in London, attacking the Tory Building, yet was no mention last night of the demonstration Burning Poppies @ insulting the memories of the fallen, :mad: anyone doubt it, look on you tube, Cameron says they will prosecute those students/ infiltrators who were caught, whats the government gonna do about these other people? my guess is sod all, cos aint as serious as insulting the tories.:rolleyes::mad:

The story's featured in some newspapers

Armistice Day: protesters burn poppy - Telegraph

Freedom of speech is all very well, but I reckon that incidents like this are so grossly insulting to the majority of the population, not to mention deeply hurtful to those who have lost loved ones serving their country, that the authorities should crack down on them without further ado.

I've just seen it.

I wasn't going to link it.

I honestly didn't believe that it was true.

That this happened yesterday, whilst the two minute silence took place, until I checked, and it's reported in the press, around the world.

I'm so angry that my grandad died aged twenty two, so these scum can take advantage of our democracy to further their own agenda.

I will NEVER stop trying to oppose those who hide behind a religion to attack the freedoms we enjoy today. Which was achieved at a very heavy price by the people of this country.

The government should enlarge the laws we have against preaching hatred, to also cover those who seek the deaths of our armed services.

There will be civil war in this country before this century ends.

Hopefully I won't be here.

If I am, I'll happily fight to keep the freedoms previous generations fought for.

Asad Ullah, 23, a spokesman for the group who would only say he was from London, said: "The British soldiers you remember on this day are soldiers who have taken innocent lives in illegal occupations and unjust wars.

"Our aim is not violence but if people come to us with violence, Muslims will defend themselves."

He added: "We will do this again. Until the British people condemn the British Government for these illegal wars, we will not stop protesting."

If there's any such thing as justice in this country, and this government has any balls, I sincerely hope you won't be allowed the chance next year.

If my Nan would have seen that, on Rememberance Day, there would have honestly been bloodshed.

Re: Why No Mention?
 

this was all over facebook last night ... and i thought why give the prats more publicity ... as far as im concerned its a time for rememberance ... people who fought for us ... no matter what their religon, creed, colour ... and if they dont want to show respect for the dead .. then it dont say much for them

Re: Why No Mention?
 

I was unsure whether it should be posted.

I honestly thought it was propaganda, cobbled together from old film clips, until I saw the newspaper reports.

I think people should see just how vile, and evil, these people are.

oh .. my niece was hoping to go to london for the student march ... but BRGS would only let 6 students go .. and she wasnt one of the chosen few .. Do i back the students ..yes i do .. £9000 a year = most courses 3 years long £27,000....... some 4 ... i agree that they should pay some back .. especially when they get the big pay packets further on down the line .. but i think to finish uni ..have £27,000 at least of debt .. plus their living expenses and for books, computers and travelling expenses on top of all that ... my niece only got thro uni .. living at home .. travelling every day .. and she still has over £5,000 to pay back she had 3 loans and an overdraft .. and before anyone says owt about her getting a job .. she had 3 jobs while at uni ... one part time at tesco ..another working behind a bar and teaching music to kids ... oh and the job shes got now .. is not what she got her uni degree in .. in actual fact she wants to go back to uni and go for her teaching degree .. but the problem is .. will she be able to afford it ...

Re: Why No Mention?
 

i watched it on sky news about midnight and it was on there .. but like i said .. shows they dont respect their dead ... many people have died in conflicts throughout the world ... different colour, creed, religons .. and its a time for remembrance ..

Re: Why No Mention?
 

i thought before posting n came to the conclusion people should know the priorities in this country, obviously our fallen dont seem to be high up. aint seen 1 condemnation or promise to do anything from 1 politician of ANY party?:mad:

Re: Why No Mention?
 

These scenes are heartbreaking, I wonder if they would have acted the same in front
of just a few of our troops.

Re: Why No Mention?
 

and this is exactly why i believe in the EDL, call me all the names you like but something needs to be done before WE become a minority in our own country

Re: Why No Mention?
 

Hmmm, very emotive, perhaps it's time to reconsider the worth of such people to our society, I for one have tried to be tolerant of race and colour, but maybe, if it's not too late, we should demand a show of strength from our ethnic brethren FOR our way of life?
Prove to the people you live amongst by your demonstrations against, this wicked intolerance being displayed on our streets.

Re: Why No Mention?
 

if our troops arnt been spat on when returning from duty they are having tehir fallen friends and predecessors memories urinated on.Why we cant grab them by teh scruff of teh neck and throw them back to a country where things are run the way they prefer i dont know.They soon kick a fuss up when you draw a cartoon of their precious mohamhed and anyone drawing it is a racist yet they can do this?
