Good old Britain, come here, abuse us, get saved by our presumably evil police and then sent on your merry way after ruining a lot of people's day. I wish we'd stop bending over and take a leaf from some of our continental chums - I cant imagine Le Flic's letting that one pass.

Hell in a handcart!

I've attended anti-war protests... does that mean I'm not welcome here?

 

Yes you're wlecome and feel free to exercise your democratic right to attend anti-war protests. In this instance the protests were aimed at the lads putting their lives on the line. If people have a gripe then aim it at the Government who send these boys to war, not the lads that protect your freedom thus enabling you to protest.

If you were holding a placard saying our boys should go to Hell then yeah, you're not welcome.

Well I accept that... but then I dont believe in hell, so that's not likely.

 

The point remains that, despite putting it across in an offensive manner, they have a right to protest the war just as I do and you do.

 

If we stop the right to publically object to things we oppose we have nothing.

That's a very fair point.

I think you've got it spot on there Joe. Like Ackey I've been on anti war protests but these morons have picked a completely inappropriate time and place, in fact they've probably harmed the cause they claim to be protesting. If you've got a problem then you go to the decision makers, not the lads who are brave enough to put themselves on the line for their country. I should also add I don't think jibes about England(istan) and using the protesters for target practice help much either

..

I read that point after I'd made mine. And I'm willing to admit that Joe's made an excellent point too.

 

The reason I objected to the thread was the implied racism... the "Good old Britain, come here, abuse us, get saved by our presumably evil police...I wish we'd stop bending over and take a leaf from some of our continental chums..." and "Only in England(istan)........."

 

Do they really need to be identified by their religion or race? If this were a collection of whites would it be considered less offensive to be protesting?

 

[EDIT]

:lol:

I'm too slow tonight - Mike's just made my point before me... twice in one thread!

Don't think it would have been allowed my friend. :blush:

You think "Only in England(istan)" is a valid point? There's plenty of reasons to get upset with this demonstration but I'm not sure spouting racist bollox is the way to vent that frustration

i think to dismiss it as "racist nonsense" is racist nonsense.

meh.

 

I think I can disagree with it because I have an open mind to the posibilities of the human race. The fact that one has a religion, culture or pigmentation which is not the same as the one I have does not diminish the value that person has within society.

 

These people have acted in a way which you find offensive and I have no objection to you feeling offended. However for their race to be a guiding factor within that offense is short sighted and rather pathetic really.

OK, if you think that is a valid point would you care to expand on it, so that maybe we can understand how it's a valid point?

 

i didn't make it, but.....

 

his point was that this would only be allowed to happen in England or "England(istan)" as he called it.

 

in my experience that's a valid point.

 

if you know otherwise feel free to educate us.......................
