How long must we put up with these people.

Pity the soldiers didnt have the right to use their baynets.
I suppose most of them are on benefits anyway?

[Zeuhl]

Soldiers aren't allowed to claim benefits silly!

.

[Count-A-Strong]

Your on your way to being banned trt. And the spelling is bayonet.

[trt]

You know what I mean though Zeuh,
l didn't think properly about my post as I was so angry about the story!

[trt]

So its OK for them to *** our soldiers off is it Count?

So sorry for the spelling mistake, will go and sit on the naughty step.

[sp1814]

I'm with trt on this - in a way.

I say, arm the far right protesters and the Muslim extremists and let them fight it out in private.

They should be forced to continue until either a) they've all killed each other, or b) agreed a level of tolerance of each other whereby they agree not to keep p*ssing off the rest of us.

[trt]

Thanks sp1814, but why should the Muslim extremists be allowed to reside in the UK, that's my biggest gripe.

Not a very nice welcome home for our soldiers who have comrades killed and maimed on duty.

[sp1814]

Maybe they're born here!

There are plenty of people who hold views which I find abhorrent, but at the end of the day in a democracy - you cannot say one group may protest, but another cannot.

If the BNP chose to march down my road screaming obscenities about blacks, Jews, gays and Asians, I wouldn't call for a ban - I'd borrow my sister's incontinent dog and play with him in the street for an hour or two the night before.

On a more serious note - it was a mistake for the right wingers to cross the road and attack the extremists, because it plays into their hands.

Better to allow the police to film them to gather the kind of information which leads to better intelligence.

We shouldn't have troops fighting in Afghanistan to protect this country from attack. We are being attacked by this home grown scum that are far more likely to do us harm. The politicians just don't get it!

[joeluke]

Agree with sp1814........let the muslim protesters and the EDL fight amongst themselves at a seperate location.......

......then the homecoming parade can actually pass off peacefully and can be celebrated by the people who actually want to salute the bravery of our troops

[ummmm]

I did giggle when I read about the frozen sausages.

[jake-the-peg]

Why should muslim extremeists be allowed to reside in the UK?

I dare say because most of the couple of dozen protesters are probably British, born in this country.

I seem to remember another much larger protest againt our middle Eastern adventuring

A million people - were they all extremists?

No? so what's the difference - I guess these ones were shouting things you find disrespectful.

Seems to me you want to deport anyone you find disrespectful

[boxtops]

Agree with Jake, I know many Muslims and they are peaceable family folks. Looks like yet another shipped-in Rent-a-Mob - that's the problem.

[Bobbisox]

no jtp, but this was inciting racial hatred, was this acceptable to you???

[ChuckFickens]

I agree bobbi.....

shouting 'scum' and 'Muslim bombers off our streets'. is inciting racial hatred.

[Bobbisox]

then the police should have stepped in to arrest on both sides for that offence Chuck

[jackthehat]

Often these demonstrators are picked up 'after the fact' rather than during. The police will be knocking on several doors in the days ahead. It allows them to police the event without creating flashpoints..........

[Bobbisox]

and what will they get jack, a slapped wrist?
it should be on the spot fines !

[joeluke]

What would happen if an English group in a muslim country protested against and held placards denouncing muslims?

Exactly, so why do we let them do it here?

England - the softest country in the world?

[jackthehat]

We have a history of Free Speech in this country................sadly many other countries do not.

[McMouse]

I hope they were pork sausages.
