Who is in favour?

[naomi24]

Peter Pedant, my post hasn't broken any rules.  I didn't see those removed so I can't comment on them.

 

andy-hughes.  This is no time for jokes.

Owners have definitely given up on the site and have left a few power crazy mods to do as they see fit...it won't be long.

 They are perfectly free to hold a march for their cause, but the authorities should have banned it in London on remembrance day, it is an unbelievable blunder.

What hope?  I'm ashamed of this country.

The Met are just about finished.  Totally useless and need to be disbanded and split up.

However be assured security services will be overtly filming this and noting individuals.

Naomi - I am not joking - I asked if you would expand on your comment.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - Please ignore my last post.

I read the OP late last night, and didn't register that the march was planned for Remembrance Sunday.

"Owners have definitely given up on the site and have left a few power crazy mods to do as they see fit...it won't be long."

The block of four removed answers were mine. The mod who removed them simply took a dislike to them - far too overzealous.

London is a very big place.  Could it not accommodate two marches on the same day?

[10ClarionSt]

Having been described by TTT on here as a 5C leftie, I can tell you that on Remembrance Sunday, I will be marching past The Cenotaph along with thousands of veterans and various associations. Our association is to assemble in Column E and we are E34. 

I remember one senior police officer a few years ago, commenting on some protesters at Wooton Basset, that the protesters have every right to do so in a free, democratic country. Start from there.

Are you sure that link isn't from a student rag week stunt? Looks like it could be something like it!

[naomi24]

Clarion, some media outlets are saying the march is planned for Saturday 11 November - actual Remembrance Day when the two minutes silence will be disrupted - others that it will take place on Sunday 12 when the service at the Cenotaph is held.  Personally, I'd guess that the protesters will be around on both days, but whichever way, it's disgraceful.

If you don't mind I won't ignore it because I would like some clarification.  In your opinion is support for Hamas, a banned terrorist group, not disrespectful to this country at any other time?                    

[Peter Pedant]

yeah they should demonstrate if they want

If they  have "warring demos" ariound remembrance , I think tacit support for Gaza ( dead babies etc) will plummet in England.

strikes me as a bad political ploy - you know like ( Emily Davidson) only she walks out  in front of Diana's hearse, shouting stop! stop! - blimey imagine that. Yeah yeah I know it didnt happen, but if....

[Peter Pedant]

come on come on - which of the mods insisted  that posts were NOT personal and were open to the  public ?

personal one week, public another - there is AB for  you !

Mods if reading ! I cannot stand 20 posts of - "you said I had a big nose.jaw. feet"

"I did nart ! so!" - You did , so...... mercy !

[Peter Pedant]

If you don't mind I won't ignore it

my eyes glaze over - other ABers topple and injure themselves. fire works let off.

o god will there be more? - YES ! much more

a return to the Good Olde Days - yippee !

[Ellipsis]

A demonstration supporting Hamas would be awful.

A demonstration supporting Palestinian people who are dying by the thousand would be acceptable.

So what demonstration is it?

[naomi24]

//my eyes glaze over//

 

I don't suppose there's any chance of your fingers joining them, is there?   No?  Thought not.  ;o)

[ToraToraTora]

AH: "Naomi - Why do you believe that support for Hamas equates to disrespect for this country?" - why do you NOT believe that?

[Untitled]

enthusiastically in favour.

although i will donate to the RBL i will not be wearing a poppy this year because i find the "never again" sentiment to be utterly hyprocritical. i was taught that it was the job of every generation including my own to ensure that nothing like the horrors of ww2 ever happened again... and yet our government not only tolerates but cheers on a genocide because it happens to be committed by israel - a country that we are politically aligned with.

it is shameful and i think it reeks of hypocrisy to support what israel is doing on the one hand and blather about "remembrance" and "never again" on the other. i doubt very much that i will ever wear the poppy again and i am very pleased that a demonstration is planned for the day on which this hypocrisy is most acute. i might even join it.

^ Why am I not surprised.

The file must be growing bigger by the day.
