That in itself is hypocrisy. As disgusting as the group's aims and motivations are, they have their right to protest.
If the protest march is to be stopped, then it should be stopped by lawful means. Namely the police should apply to the council to have the parade banned. I don't have any interest seeing off duty squadies, and ex-squadies getting into a mammoth punch-up in WB. Especially as this march (if it goes ahead) will attract the bottom dwellers of the BNP, NF, Combat 18 etc.

As far as I'm concerned, filling in the marchers would only dishonour the memories of brave men who died on foreign fields.....
