This march has me very annoyed.

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.

but how far do you go in banning groups you don't like ,at what point does freedom of speech and democracy turn into a dictatorship were only those that we agree with are allowed to speak .I agree 100% that this group is wrong in their proposed actions ,i don't agree with it but it is legal the same as calling the queen a sponger of the state or gordon brown useless ,some people would say that is treason but because we are a free country we allow this .Maybe some of muslim bashers on this forum should get out of the dark ages and learn to accept the fact that other people have differing views
