No apologise for your rudeness I see.
You are comparing two different things.
I do not consider them to be two different things. The two were fair comparison's.
It matters not what excuses are made to stop any of them, be it lack of funding, along with a time expiry date to get the roads closed, overstretched police resources, knife & gun crime, assaults, drug taking and drunken behaviour.
All these excuses theoretically constitutes a ban, just as it would if I told you, you a perfectly welcome to drive down my 'Private Road' but it will cost you �10,000 for the privilege.
Any of these excuses could be used to end any of these three events, but it would seem that the only one that would be likely to have anything put in it's way, was as in this case the St Georges parade. Now why am I not suprised?
Trevor Collins of the Stone Cross Saint George Association, says "It doesn't matter if you're black, white, green, brown or whatever, everyone's welcome".
But Ethel they can't force them to attend, and quite right too.
