But with you, it seems to be black and white, right or wrong, no gray.

I have always held the view that the Bnp should not be allowed to march.
This march has me very annoyed. I have a son who has done 2 tours in Afghanistan and thankfully he has come home both times in one piece, Four of his friends have not been so lucky and i would have been horrified if protesters had been allowed to do what this group threatened to do when they were repatriated,
I went to a coming home parade in chivner where there was a contingent of people calling the boys baby killers and other things it was a good job the police were there because the lads family would have ripped them a new a i can tell you.
I cannot stand it when people are more interested in letting things happen on the off chance that turning your back on them will make some form of statement it will not they will just continue to carry on because the press and the papers will cover it. I have never had any time for those that think doing nothing will make the bogey man go away it does not. Sometimes you have to stand up to bullies or groups like this who would have turned up at wootton bassett if we had not stood up to them.
