Mole Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 British soldiers who had their homecoming parade ruined by angry anti-war protesters yesterday are preparing for another march today. Protesters accused British troops of being 'butchers' The "tiny minority" of demonstrators who disrupted the parade in Luton with angry scenes and scuffles have been condemned by Gordon Brown. Two people have been arrested following the Muslim anti-war protest, which targeted soldiers from the 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, known as The Poachers, returning from Iraq. The same soldiers will take part in a march in Watford later. A group of Muslim protesters, who were hemmed in by police as the soldiers marched past, waved placards with slogans including: "Anglian Soldiers: Butchers of Basra" and "Anglian Soldiers: cowards, killers, extremists". One also read: "British Government Terrorist Government." A number of people staged a counter-demonstration, which is when the trouble began. Bedfordshire Police confirmed two people were arrested for public order offences and taken to Luton Police Station. Superintendent Andy Martin said: "Disappointingly, a small number of people chose to cause a disturbance during the parade, which was quickly contained by officers. "The rest of the event concluded without further problem." Defence Secretary John Hutton said: "I can only condemn the tiny minority who used this opportunity to make, whatever their personal views, utterly ridiculous and insulting comments to these brave men and women. "I am extremely pleased to hear this has not in any way detracted from this proud day for the Poachers." Mr Hutton's Conservative counterpart, Dr Liam Fox, said: "It is only because of the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces that these people live in a free society where they are able to make their sordid protests." An Army spokesman said the battalion was "deeply touched" by the support despite the disturbance. He said: "It was a great sight to see the packed streets, in some places three or four men deep, and although a small minority of protesters chose to demonstrate this did not detract from the parade and the Poachers deeply appreciate the support shown from the local community." Luton Borough Council chief executive Kevin Crompton said: "We must remember that we live in a democracy and it is unfortunate that a small minority of people did not use their democratic rights responsibly. "But overall, the actual event went well and was a fitting tribute to the courage and bravery of our troops." It's a ****ing disgrace what our country has become. No wonder so many people British people are turning to the far right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuRomseySaint Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 Scum, absolute scum. If you don't like the 'Brits' the f*ck off home. As a mate said..... If a dog is born in a barn, it still ain't a horse. Just because they live here, maybe even born here, does not make them 'British' . Scum, about time that people started standing up to these people, the government won't do it. No wonder BNP's membership levels are rising every year.

StuRomseySaint Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 Have you been to Luton? I remember the last time we played them, there was lots of 'racist' chanting that day, which was condemned on Saintsforever. " F*ck off and cook me a curry " was the most amusing chant of the day. " Town full of ****'s " was going a bit far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 Agree'd if you don't like what we are doing go and join the f**king Taliban and stage a protest, At least that way we can put a bullet in your head! You must find yourself in an awkward position here, supporting British troops who you call thick idiots quite often. I suppose your natural racist nature one the day over the "thickies" then?

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 They shout down the very people who facilitated their freedom to stand in a street and shout, they should have been moved on, don't agree with blocking protests but in this instance its an outrage that our soldiers were subjected to that, don't think I would have had the discipline to just march on by, a couple of rounds would have been let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 In Ancient Rome, the plebs were the general body of Roman citizens, distinct from the privileged class of the patricians. A member of the plebs was known as a plebeian (Latin: plebeius). ... Cool So basically the establishment that ruled with an iron fist decided to call it's low life citizens plebs? Yeah, very cool.

Scudamore Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 Nope because they have the right to protest as they live here and live by our rules and our way of life. These people have no right to protest. They are not used to our rules and probably half of them are illegals in this country. If they were born in this country then the chances are that their parents weren't so they are not used to our way of life. What are these "rules" of which you speak?

JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 Pancake does have a point though. White people have been protesting about the war since it began but they are just treated as "people with opposing views" and nobody much cares. As soon as Terry Toweling does it then the issue changes to "go back home if you don't like it" which pretty much suggests that to have that view you are in support of democracy but not if it goes against your opinion. I for one thing the soliders are brilliant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be racist thugs like you that might have a problem knowing "our rules" to be honest. The fact that you further go on to substansiate the point you failed to make by using words such as "probably" and "chances are" really does show you to be an ill informed dinlo, IMHO of course.

For all you know, they might have been of P@kistani, Indian, Afghan or Saudi descent. Or maybe even 3rd generation British. The only thing that is mentioned is that they were all Muslim.

I would put all religious fanatics together to be honest as antiquated and ill informed idiots. It matters not what religion they are from or who their God is. Having said that, I don't consider these people to be fantatics. Many white people around the world consider the war in the Middle East to have been an unjust one. On top of this they may well have friends and relatives that are now living in war zones. I think if the shoe was on the other foot, I might also want my voice heard.

bridge too far Posted 11 March, 2009 Share Posted 11 March, 2009 Has it been proven that ALL the demonstrators were Muslim? Reports I heard suggested that there were a number of 'anti-war' demonstrators, not that they were all Muslim. I have protested against the Iraq invasion in the past and I'm glad I live in a country where it's my democratic right to do so. I was always taught that our armed forces protected that right.
