Protests at returning troops Parade

Why the hell was this allowed to happen. It makes me so angry that these protesters were allowed to be there let alone shout abuse at our troops.

I hope they bring each protester down one by one.

fer me they should have the authority to round em up n chuck em out of the country, nowt against free speech, but downing street or the like is the place fer demonstrations, not parades welcoming working mem back home.

I think to the lads and lasses of our armed services returning or about to serve abroad and to see this on the streets of the UK must be the ultimate insult.
The PC brigade must watch this and realise there is only so much we can take.
UK citizens or not send them back to their roots.
Put them in a glasshouse and they will soon realise how wrong they were.

It is absolutely disgusting, can't for the life in me understand how it was allowed to happen. What an insult to the lads and lasses in our forces

Heartbreaking to see these bearded religious pratts shout at our troops this way. They are doing their duty defending us all, whatever the politicians have sent them to do.

If they don't like it here they know what to do. Some would say it was a pity the rest of the crowd didn't get them

It's not on...there are people including christians that oppose the action in Iraq but some of the placards on display are close to threats...at least some were arrested.

Well at least the police were taking pics so we can only hope that they all get pulled in one by one.

They should have all been arrested....from what I saw in the video, most of the protesters supported beards and attire that is a symbol of another religion. Not Christian.
Yes they were threats, and if it had happened welcoming homecoming troops on the streets of Iraq, Pakistan or Iran they would have been shot.
I am not in favour of that but such is life.

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest against us invading Iraq. I didn't protest, but totally opposed this war, which was sold as a lie about weapons of mass destruction, when really it was about securing a stable base amongst the oil fieds of the Middle East. However I totally support the the troops who are living and dying out there, and wouldn't dream at protesting at the home coming parade of the ones lucky enough to return.

If anyone doesn't like living in this country they are free to move elsewhere. I'm sure quite a few people would glady wave 'em off.

Frankly I'd be more than impressed if they gave up any benefits this country might afford them, child benefit, education, health care etc etc, but sadly I can't see them doing that, for they seem more than happy with that part of living in Britain.

Yes..but could the same be said about the recent attacks on British personnel in Ulster?...your statement could apply to Irish citizens living here that have supported the Republican cause in the past and some may still support that cause..does your post apply to them and not just Muslims?..to cut it short did you have the same opinion of the immagrant Irish in the 70' 80's?
