Free speech?

[anotheoldgit]

The flying of terrorist flags as nothing to do with free speech.

[youngmafbog]

Hezbollah is also a political party.

Whilt I really dont agree with such marches I am loath to ban anything unless it is really detrimental to OUR country. It's a slippery slope from one ban to a dictatorship and censorship.

[Islay]

If he did that he would have to ban most of the flags in Northern Ireland!

[Jackdaw33]

Wonder if COB will be on parade.

[ToraToraTora]

surely terrorist marches are banned anyway are they not?

[dannyk13]

It wasn't banned last year so why should it be banned this year?

[dannyk13]

TTT, Hezbollah is not proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

[-Talbot-]

But it should be.

Khan's changed his tune.

Ok just researched this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quds_Day
Quds day was initiated in Iran in 1979 to express support for Palestinians and oppose Israel. So basically it's a pro terrorist anti semitic love in at the end of Ramadan. So why is this allowed? would we allow a Jewish anti Palestinian march? I don't think so! I bet Labour MPs are in it!

Hezbollah fighters defeated Islamic State, who are now a ramshackle force.
We should be thanking them, they have done us a great favour.

[-Talbot-]

Hezbollah fighters defeated Islamic State



I'm not sure what to say that to that.

[Gromit]

// support for the Palestinians and oppose Zionism and Israel, as well as Israel's occupation of Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in Israeli-occupied territories. //

No wonder it is popular.

[ToraToraTora]

well who'd have thought gromit would come to the defence of terrorists. So some bad terrorists beat some worse terrorists, that's a help but lets not make them the "good guys".

[-Talbot-]

You also believe Hezbollah fighters defeated Islamic State, TTT?

[ToraToraTora]

I have no idea talbot, I'm just replying to gromit, I have not researched it.

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

The march and the flags should be banned. On a positive note, at least it keeps the scumbags busy for the day, and we know where to avoid.

[Gromit]

Maybe Hezbollah could be entertained in Downing Street by the Prime Minister...
