QUOTE (Berkshirelad @ Jan 4 2010, 01:59 PM) Why?
The group concerned have already undertaken not to clash with any returning coffins and all that is necessary is for the local people and the media top simply ignore them and not grant them the oxygen of publicity. Presumably you have no qualms about the BNP parading through Bradford shouting Anti-Islamic slogans then?

I really don't agree with it but I think Berkshirelad has a point, the best thing people can do is just turn their backs and ignore it. In this country we are very lucky to be free and have the freedom of speech. If there is to be a picture in the newspaper the following day I for one would like it to be of these numpties walking down a totally deserted street, not one of people fighting each other over beliefs.

No - It says in the report that it is for "Muslims its says have been "murdered in the name of democracy and freedom"". Perhaps they should hold the parade in Afghanistan in front of the Taliban?

Perhaps they should hold the parade in Afghanistan in front of the Taliban? Sounds like honouring all the Afghani families killed in the course of the war in their country. A war they didn't ask for. Would that be the same Taliban that Sandy Gall used to ride around with in the 1980's?

I'd have to agree, they have the right to protest and the reason they're doing it where they are is for maximum publicity. If you don't like it ignore them, they're not breaking the law. If we banned everything that someone thought was in poor taste our society would suffer.
