Does this make you as angry as it makes me?

[spacey]

I heard a rumour that most muslims aren't actually British! More alarmingly some of them have different coloured skin. I think that we can all agree that the life of one British person is worth a thousand muslims despite the fact that some people claim that muslims have human DNA.

with who?

Good job you werent on Normandy beaches. You'd probably shoot yourself in the head.

[pauld]

You calling me far right? Dont think so pal.

No. Not at all. I was suggesting that the spectacle of a counter-demo led or infiltrated by far-right nutjobs would be just as harmful and disrepectful to the ordinary decent families of dead and injured servicemen as would a few Muslim nutjobs looking to stoke up trouble in the first place. If this is a serious proposal, and not just an attempt to seek cheap publicity which the Mail are lapping up because it suits their ends as much as the nutjobs, then the correct way to deal with it in the first instance is to lobby the coppers to say they must not allow any such demonstration in Bassett. If for some insane reason the coppers bottle it, then yes there should and must be a counter demonstration but it must not be led or dominated by the far right. Because nutjobs of any flavour with their own agenda to push, be they Muslims, BNP, EDL, the Daily Mail or whatever the fuck have no place in the dignified remberance of servicemen who have given their limbs and lives in the service of our country.

nah i'd miss.
with who? honest question

[Spencer_White]

Why are you so obsessed with the BNP?

Why do you refer to them immediately when there is a need for a show of national unity?

Pure paranoia.

[Spencer_White]

People in this country who support the killing of British troops.

anyone who does that should be removed from the country.
how my original asking of the question drew the response it did is a bit baffling though

[Spencer_White]

You asked who lines were drawn with, and I told you.

[Arriba]

not at the first time of asking you didn't.
you made a ridiculous comment with noting to do with the topic.
maybe that arkells lager has frazzled your brains?

Oh fuck off Spence. Doesn't take a genius to work out the BNP/EDL/one of their other front groups would be all over this like a rash if it actually got anywhere does it? And making political capital out of being the ones who "stood up for our boys" or however they dressed it up. And how many services families would actually feel that that bunch of fucking low-lifes actually represented what their loved ones fought and died for? Not in my name, indeed. If you're really interested in stopping these scrotes making a mockery of the fine, dignified tradition that WB stands for, then read a bit further in the BBC piece and get out your pen, not your sword.

A spokeswoman for Wiltshire Police said: "Under the Public Order Act the organiser must inform the police of the date, time and route of the proposed procession, and the name and address of the organiser.

"If the march or procession is believed to be likely to result in serious disorder, disruption or damage, then the police can impose conditions upon the organiser.

"In exceptional circumstances, police may apply to the local authority for an order prohibiting such a march."

To date there had been no contact from Islam4UK or any other group wishing to arrange such a march in Wootton Bassett," the spokeswoman added.
 

So, let's see - half-dozen Muslim nutjobs issue press release/website statement saying they're thinking of doing something outrageous. Mail prints it cos they love a good Muslim nutjob story, specially if they can run it as "Muslims say" rather than "Known nutjobs say". But in fact, these guys haven't even got to base 1 of organising a demo, ie contacting the coppers who make it pretty fucking clear that their line is pretty much "Over my dead body". But if the nutjobs can stir enough outrage around it, they can very publicly get their march which was never going to happen (unless a dozen saddos with beards shouting in the corner of a small market town counts) banned. Then it becomes a big freedom of speech issue etc etc. Or even better, thanks to the outraged backlash it provokes, the whole thing does become a "freedom of speech" issue, so they end getting a march they never actually intended to hold, and a big fucking scrap to boot. So the Muslim nutjobs get to play "standing up for our side" to their audience of disaffected nutjob Muslim youth, the rightwing nutjobs get to play "standing up for our side" to their audience of disaffected nutjob white youth and everyone else is a loser. Especially the families of servicemen who did NOT give their lives in the name of this kind of shit and deserve better.

Come on Spencer, what with this and the other thread you started, you're startin to sound like a bit of a headcase me old son. Calm down calm down.

Bring it on, battle lines drawn etc etc bloody hell you sound like a fucking goon playing Call of Duty

[flash]

We should do what the Yanks did  to the students who had the temerity to disagree with the Vietnam War and chose to use their democratic right to protest against it at Kent State University. They sent in the National  Guard who opened fire and killed some of the unpatriotic bastards.

Are there some parallels with the rumoured anti war Wotton Basset demo and some peoples' reaction to it?

Are there some parallels with the rumoured anti war Wotton Basset demo and some peoples' reaction to it?

No, there is no parallel whatsoever. The Kent State massacre was against a group of peaceful protesters protesting against war whilst these rag-head nut jobs have an agenda which is motivated entirely by religious fervour and a wish to provoke a reaction.

And Spencer, I really do believe that you are away with the fairies "You are with us or against us", what the fuck is all that about.
