Nice Try. We are not slagging off the forces, we are raising issue with your statement:

I have contacts in & out of the Army, who openly state they will use force to stop this march.

Because it's a free country and people have the right to protest without threats of violence. I thought this was something they were protecting?

Serving members of the Armed Forces are not allowed to demonstrate. Should any member be on leave, they are free to travel anywhere they like.

I don't mind them protesting, I mind them using force on civilians protesting.

Wootton Bassett has become the country's "Welcome home" for our fallen forces. This little town turns out to honour & respect these servicemen & women, we do not want a group of self appointed, petty Muslims to besmirch that final respect.

Nor do most of us, however it's a free country and we can't ban people who their freedoms unless it infringes on the safety of liberty of others.

For some of you "Holier than thou" pacifists, you need to get a life, because outside your little world is a bigger one, & its not very nice.

How does this justify using force on protesters? It doesn't. Don't give the patronising speech attempting to belittle opposition on 'not having a life' or 'real world experence'. None of this relates to the facts of this case.

I have made it clear in past posts, that I do not subscribe to the BNP, or any other radical faction, in any way, but if they oppose this march, then they will have allies.

Peacefully oppose then yes, forcefully oppose then no. If people violently attack these protesters they will face their day in court.
