None of them were violent at the Swansea march whereas the BNP supporters were being very intimidating.

I didn't see large coverage of the Swansea event, but the Youtube footage appeared to be nothing more than shouting insults. (I appreciate you provided a report)

I was just pointing out that, it is not just the BNP that are violent. People tend to ignore the actions of groups that claim to be on the 'good' side.

I don't know about other protests and demos but at the Swansea event none of the AF people were violent or intimidating. Plenty of shouting and "down with the BNP" types chants but that was it.

The BNP people simply lived up to the shaven headed thug image. Loads of "come and have a go then" type confrontations, Nazi salutes and general nastiness.

Don't know if it's different at other BNP marches but I don't see why it would be.

I have no knowledge about BNP matters Russ. However, if they, or any other organisation oppose this march, then they would, perhaps unfortunately, become allies.

I have contacts in & out of the Army, who openly state they will use force to stop this march. To me, & most ex-forces, this is a slap in the face, a put down by some of the very ideals we have fought against. People will not stand by & watch. To allow this march would be nothing less than an incitement to riot.

Feelings are running very, very high & things are quickly getting out of hand. From what I hear, I very much doubt the Police would be able to stop the violence, should this march be allowed.

I have said so many times in the past, civil war is looming in Britain. People will only stand so much, we are constantly being forced to pander to the whims of the minority. Mainly, the Muslim organisations & clerics, who purport to speak for Islam.

has the application even been submitted yet ? the last i heard a couple of days ago he hadn't recieved one and strongly doubted that he would given the past history of the group ,but if he has then he should be able to make the descision one way or the other to defuse the situation because i can see this spreading outside of Wooten Bassett

Read the next line after the part you highlighted.

If our servicemen and ex-servicemen choose to use violence to disrupt this march then they will be no better than those violent extremists that they are trying to disrupt, and will do the cause of those extremists more good than harm.

Agreed

I was waiting for this to turn. Our boys don't need to go i am sure there is enough people ready to go in there place.

Our boys coming home from abroad should not have to see religious fanatics parading through a town which has been saluting our lads since the war began. I for one would will be more than willing to go to that town when this parade is on to make sure my disgust at these religious fanatics is noted.

I think some of the last few posts have highlighted the double standards of the some people in the British public. It's ok for servicemen to use violence against protesters? Im sorry but that's rubbish. I hope any member of the armed forces who uses violence to stop someone's right to protest, however much I disagree with that protest, is taken to court and kicked out of the army.

IF the march takes place ,and IF "our boys" retaliate with violence or indeed any group retaliates with violence then we might as well hand Great Britain over on a plate with a cherry on top .Any violent reaction is exactly what they want it will give them enough ammo to make a mockery of our so called better democracy wich we profess to hold so dearly .It's double standards like those that make us a laughing stock
