patsylabrador Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I cannot believe that malcontents would disrupt a two-minutes silence to burn poppies and chant death messages to the troops. I was glad to see that they were arrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken shack Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thay are misguided idiots. What would happen if we burnt a symbol of theirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thay are misguided idiots. What would happen if we burnt a symbol of theirs? remember all the trouble when I think a Swedish paper used a cartoon of Mohammed!!! I know plenty of muslim people who are incensed by the behaviour of a few and give everyone a bad name. We have freedom of speech in this country so they are entiltled to their opinons, as long as they do not go out of their way to cause offense & violence.

Angie Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I used to say some people were ignorant, but i don't anymore as to be ignorant you have to be uneducated and as everyone is educated these days i don't say it . So easy for present day times to overshadow the days of the Two Great Wars ,that we pray never happen again. WORLD WARS........How awful if The Second had gone the other way and Hitler had sent the Worlds Muslims to the Camps as he did So many others.....not because of their religion, but because of the colour of their skins,and nationality. He wanted the world to be an Arian Race and of no religious trait . Sadly modern day conflicts are now prevailant and rightly so added to the walls of rememberance. As we remember the service personnel ..We also remember the lost civillians killed in conflict, the innocents.........this is what is mostly forgotten....not just our own but the others, I personally prefer to think of All that have been killed , man ,woman and child, red, white ,brown, black, buddist druid, christian, muslim...... How God must hang his head and cry to see his children killing each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 hopefully members of their own communities will publically denounce their actions, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 There was a small mention yeasterday but the media are not reporting on it. WHY Worried it may upset the few, while the majority of the population regardless of their faith etc are unable to have a voice. This is no longer a free country. Perhaps we are getting to politcal on this site. I think I will go and talk to my chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I was absolutely disgusted to see this yesterday. For me yesterday was a more emotional day than usual as earlier this year, OH, myself and YS went to visit the military cemetries where my Great Granddad is buried and where my Gt Gt Uncle's name is on a memorial. It was so moving to be there and to see the graves. I suppose there are about 2,000 graves in my Gt Granddad's cemetry, all mixed, British as well as some German. In my Gt Gt Uncles, Thiepval Memorial there are the names of more than 72,000 men from lots of different nationalities. Until you have been to one of these places you really just do not understand how moving and emotional Rememberance Day is and just the scale of the death and destruction. To have it marred in this way just brings tears to my eyes. Is this what our brave men and women gave/give their lives for? I'm not adequately putting across how I feel but thought I had to say something. Got to go and wipe my eyes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yes you're right. They love to be controversial and wind people up. It was in the Telegraph and was by the Royal Albert Hall. It made my stomach turn to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 If you can find it, visit the Hope Not Hate website, and see their blog about it. There were 2 demonstrations next to each other , one by the English Defence League, who are the National Front by any other name, and the poppy burning fools, who are called Muslims against Crusades. They cannot exist , one without the other...and only serve the rhetoric of the other. Please don't call for burning of symbols.it lowers you to their level. There are a small amount of disaffected young people who see the UK involvement in Afghanistan a war mongering, and are fuelled by the internet fanatics. They only burnt a few bits of paper and shouted, and the EDL shouted abuse too. Yes, it's disrespectful, and they are enjoying the freedoms of a Western society they wish to destroy fools..........I'm rambling as I need my tea....blood sugar dropping and I can't express myself... anyway..I've found the blog..read it, it's worth taking the 2 minuts... http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/article/1018/A-plague-on-both-their-houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 seagazer I totally understand where you are coming from. years ago OH and I visited the war graves in Normandy - so emotional and sad, and such a waste of young lives. yet they were so brave to go and do what they did. I really want to go to Ypres one day to pay my respects at the Menin Gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
