It's so upsetting when you see what we use to be and what we are now. last century when there was such thing as the British Gentleman, and British manners. Back then when the children were educated not indoctrinated, and people had genuine care and respect for each other. When people would do something fun and go out to dinner and the pictures, instead of getting drunk and causing mayhem. When Britain was British, and British culture recognised its superiority and reined supreme. When the British people were put first, and the politicians believe in their Great nation and did all they could to make it better. When we ruled the waves, and had the biggest empire known to man, and never cow-towed to anyone. and one of the most important things which is slowly disapearing, The British cheery Spirit, with a go-get-em attitude.
and now look at us,such a shame and so very damn upsetting.

That is why we in this country are allowed to protest. It is our right to do so, And people like you, will not stop us either.
The troops should not be in afghanistan in the first place, they should be brought home. Or operations need to be suspended, until they recieve enough resources, and the right equipment.

As I said I am not referring to those idiots, who were protesting against our troops. I am referring to the individual citizens right in this country to protest.
But as we have seen over the last ten years those rights have been eroded. Look at what happened in Parliament square. That dude who protested against the war in Iraq. Umteen times, the PTB, have tried to have him removed..
