I used to be totally accepting of all races. This behaviour has now convinced me to vote for the BNP.
Shame on you Muslims. If you do not like the UK way of living, go and live in a muslim country! |

I am not military personnel, but wife of;
my personal opinion, well i could write it, but it would be deleted within minutes by yahoo!
men and women protesting against OUR solidiers, as apparently they do not class themselves as British ,and our soldiers are murderers;
everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if i was to stand outside a mosque with a banner saying i support the soldiers i am certain i would be arrested and punished.
Enough said! |

Sad. Those men and women are only doing their jobs. Yeah, the war is wrong but why bring down the morale of these soldiers? |

once again the police are letting British people down, all of these hate filled muslims should have been arrested and deported with their families, they would soon be crying for the British soldiers to come and save their @rses. they shouldn't be allowed to demonstrate in our country, they can't do it in their own can they. also the soldiers do a great job, it's the polititians that caused the war, so demonstrate against them. there is another march in Watford today at 12pm everyone who can should get down there and stop the muslim scum from doing the same thing there. we need to fight them.

It's a crying shame we take them in, we allow them to work in our country, we treat them with all the respect everyone else in the country gets, but they decide that were evil, civilian killing, infidels.
They hate our ways, our values, our morals, but they sure seem to love our conviences and our way of life.
As a soldier with 3 tours under my belt i've got to say personal freedoms stop when they infringe on another individual and the military takes enough from us we at least need to be treated with a little respect when we get home and get a break from the gunfire. It's a little hard to readjust to a normal life when you just spent 15 months getting shot at by men wearing dresses only to come home and be screamed at my men wearing towels as a headdress and women sporting the latest in garbage bag attire. starts to make you understand why so many soldiers crack a little when they first get home. |

Hey Diddle Diddle!

Veteran here. I saw that and don't like it. Just like the Democrats have done here in recent and not so recent past, they trash our troops and every FREE country has their share of counter-culture.
That's what happens when you appease. |

I cant watch things like that as it makes me wona puke. Im a civvie but feel strongly about our brave military men and women. God bless you all. |

I think they should be protesting in Washington DC. This war was started by the government. Vets were just fullfilling their obligations under penalty of law. |

surely it shows just what a tolerant country Britain is can you imagine what would have happened to British protesters if they lived in Iran Iraq China Russia etc and protested at that countries soldiers marching I would imagine it would not have ended peacefully. I think peaceful protests should be permitted in this country but what I saw was not a peaceful protest
One other thing perhaps those who protested should consider returning to their own country if they are as suggested anti British and second I was opposed to the war in Iraq and I pray peace will return to the country so that all those who came to Britain from the regime of Iraq,can return to their own country.
Perhaps Iraq citizens should return to their country and help to bring peace in that country. |

Soldiers only do what they are ordered to do by the government. If they feel the need to protest that's where they should be going. it seems to me that Muslim/Islam is the least tolerant of others amongst the worlds societies/religions. No-one has the monopoly or exclusivity to there being any god or that their religion is the only one which is right. |

I think it is in poor taste for these people to demonstrate at the very least. it may be within their rights but there should be some appropriate social pressure to the point that they would not feel comfortable criticizing these soldiers and would pack up and leave. Taking photos is perhaps a reson for law enforcement to approach but likely legal. |

Yeah Charlie, I hear you. I see what you are saying but look at it from a slightly different angle. Our Troops have fought to give anybody that is British (Wether they are white, coloured, christian or muslim or whatever) a voice and the very freedom that these protestors have to carry out their dispicable behaviour. Whilst I agree we are a free country, there should be repect and there is a time and a place. |

these muslims should learn the lesson that every other living creature already knows. never foul your own nest. they did that by protesting and abusing our soldiers. the british will turn against them fast and we will be having race riots before very long |

military is the executive part. if the protesters do NOT like the policy, they should demonstrate at the white house and at their senators' AND/OR express their attitude at the parliament polls.
I guess "illegals" are way too busy to waste their time protesting at the marching the troops.
i find it disrespectful, and consider it "cheating" |

Those Muslim protesters have an hidden agenda and that was to cause as much trouble as they possibly can and have those military marches stopped.
Their main idea is to get this weak incompetent Labour Government to change direction and ban these marches for fear of losing the Muslim vote in the marginal constituencies.
This dispute has gone well beyond politics.It now in the arena whether the majority of British people can honour their brave! |

a good phrase i read was our boys "lions lead by donkeys" I don't completely agree with the war but I'm darn proud of our boys. I think these protester should never have been allowed to be there. After risking their lives for the beliefs of our government the least our government can do is protect them from these people extremist view in their own country.
Once again the government has failed! |

I think the demonstration was a pitiful attempt. There were more police standing around doing nothing then there were protesters, and the protesters were too afraid to show their faces, no doubt because they knew their own community would give them a hard time for supporting this attitude.
It angers me that these people are protesting against the country they CHOSE to live in, they enjoy the freedom given to them by the very men they are calling butchers. Fortunately this same freedom means they are free to leave whenever they want. France is just a train ride away, and if they have a British passport they will have no problem. |

Master me

I'm not a racist person or a pro war person but what them muslims did was ******* wrong.Our soliders are over there fighting for other peoples freedoms and they get attacked verbally by protesters. it was an insult even having them there but the fact that there muslim too in our country.
what do they do for this country? exept bring in more of them ,evade paying taxes and send all there money to there family in pakistan.
This country needs sorting out,they say we are alot better of with all our laws and rules and were heading for a utopia but back even 80 years ago you would NEVER see imigrants or even our own shouting abuse at soliders!!!
I feel better getting all that out of my system lol |

What are we coming to in this society if people are taking pictures of OUR soldiers on OUR streets.
The taking of pictures means very little because there is plenty of TV news footage available, it is the threat that is implied by taking these pictures that is worrying.
Someone somewhere must spell-it-out in clear and precise language so there is no miss-take or miss-understanding as to what, and what not, will be tolerated.
Some people are playing with fire and not only will they get their fingers burnt but also those who they hold dear. |

There's a time and a place for everything weather we agree or not they have freedom of Speech. but this is clearly not the place and it was clearly intentional to emotionally hurt these soldiers coming home. One thing I don't understand to be in a parade you need a permit who issued the permit if no permit was issued why weren't they arrested somebody needs to lose their job the person who issued the permit or the person that didn't put out an order to arrest them . These protesters need to go back to their own country's to be reminded what its like to not have freedom of Speech. Love us or leave us! |

why cant i protest about certain things in this country,because i'd get arrested for causing unrest and the pc brigade on my back.freedom of speech, seems only if your a muslim can you do this . |

I also don't like it, to me it feels like it is disrespectful, but that is my opinion.
Freedom of speech does give them the right to protest though and we are fighting/defending freedom and in a way democracy so we cannot be hypocritical and ride on our high horses.
I am prior military, US Army. I don't see much of a security risk in the protesters taking pictures unless they know who the military members are individually and have more pertinent information about them, i.e.:phone number, address, etc. |

HM Forces Veteran - 15 years. Son currently serving - currently on 4th tour Afghanistan also done 2 in Iraq. Grandfather WW1. Father WW2.
Th taking of photographs should have been stopped. There are Islamic fanatics in the UK who will gladly butcher a serving soldier for the publicity. The enemy within our shores is the greatest security threat this country has ever faced - they cannot be identified and come from all walks of life, hence the need for new security forces like the SRR.
These protesters have the right to freedom of speech - they also have the freedom to emigrate if they don't like it here. |

Hello,
(ANS) No.1 What makes a country (i.e. the UK) a democracy IS freedom of speech and tolerance. Which cannot be said of counties like Iran, parts of Afghanistan, & Saudi Arabia were religion mixed with politics creates repression of freedom of speech & tolerance.
No.2 If you suppress extreme views & ideas within a country (even a democratic country) they only go underground, such ideas DON'T go away and are far far more likely to come out in violence, bombing like 7/7 etc. So no matter how unpleasant, no matter how horrible & disagreeable those ideas its much safer for them to be allowed expression.
**For example:- I 100% condemn the BNP because I believe they are dangerous fascists & they try to hide behind a thin cloak of respectability but underneath they are nothing but old fashioned Nazi's. But the devil you know is much better than the devil you don't!!
No.3 So I might not agree with the Islamic extremists but I'd far rather allow them a voice than them blow up totally innocent people like in 9/11 or the Barli bombings. If such people are NOT allowed a voice its like bottling up something very dangerous eventually it explodes out of no where rather than allowing the pressure to be reduced all the time which results at least in no explosions that kill people.
**No! I'm not saying such extreme views should be allowed to be imposed on us as a society but they need to be allowed expression. Expression of such views acts as a safety value perhaps.

I have always believed very strongly in democracy. and have believed a statement made by the american Benjamin Franklin, he said
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
So as a Civilised Society we should all be anti war, war should never be an option for solving problems because it's always the soldier that suffers first and last in a war. i know this because i sent 15 years in the military and lost to many of my friend to think for one moment that war can be just. war is not glamours
as Hollywood would have you believe, it;s long moments of bodum punctuate with moments of panic and chaos. of which the soldier lives with for the rest of his life.
In true democracy you must respect and except every ones opinion weather you agree with it or not. you see that's true democracy |
