Two dignified protests, how very different from that other one, held earlier in the week, I refer of course to those pro-immigration protesters.

[Zacs-Master]

Never said it wasn't did I?

Hey everyone...I think I know what the answer is to this conundrum.

I think the difference is that the anarchists all owned cats when they were teenagers, whereas the marines owned dogs.

Am I right?

Please let me know AOG. I have a few more guesses up my sleeve.

Am loving this game.

[retrocop]

Oh it is not a game.
It is serious. On another thread you profess to buy and wear several poppys at this time of the year.
The Royal Marines fight under the flag of their country with honour pride and courage. Just as they deport themselves in civil protest.
The other disgusting unwashed anarchic detritus whish to desecrate the flag ,cause disruption and inconvenience to people who are decent and actually fit to walk the Queen's thoroughfare
Any non ignorant decent human being can differtiate between the protests.
One was a dignified protest. The other was a criminal rabble.

[sp1814]

Come on AOG...I've got other guesses up my sleeve.

Unless of course you don't know the answer, then it's game over.

[Baldric]

SP, I'm reasonably sure you're not an Idiot, why behave like one?

[sp1814]

Baldric

If someone posts a question asking why anarchists behave differently to retired servicemen, then I will treat it with the respect it deserves.

...which of course - is none whatsoever.

But thanks for letting me know that it's possible that I'm not an idiot. It's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day!

[Baldric]

I think I can guess which protest you would have been part of,
each to to their own!

[sp1814]

Baldric

Hoorah...another guessing game.

Ummm...well, I like soldiers (am highly enjoying the SAS programme on CH4 at the moment).

So...I'll go with the marines protest.

Am I right?

Oh, I do hope so...

[Baldric]

Soldiers, Army again?

///The Royal Marines are the amphibious troops of the Royal Navy, (not Army) acknowledged as one of the world's elite commando forces.///

So not even close, certainly No Cigar!

[retrocop]

Never fails to surprise me that those ignorant smart rs 's are first to criticise our armed forces of which they no nothing about! The Royal Marine anthem "A life on the ocean wave" might give even the most obnoxious smartalec a clue that a Royal Marine is not a soldier.

[bazwillrun]

Baldric ...im guessing you havent come across the condescending and arrogant stance SP usually takes on here...

AOG usually wipes the floor with him, he doesnt like it ya know !

[Baldric]

I know his usual persona baz, I just don't take it seriously!
Has far too many gaps in his knowledge for me to do that.

[Just-Jude]

Any excuse to parade up and down showing off their medals. They'll be at it again in a couple of weeks at the poppy fest.

[retrocop]

Balders
Gaps or humongous chips ??

[Baldric]

Someone left the lid off the Dustbin again?

[Baldric]

Lets say gaps for now.

[Mamyalynne]

Jude, leave it out - you do yourself no favours.

What day of the year are we to celebrate the benefit of your contribution to your fellow man?

Why the Difference? One group was a disciplined, dignified, group of Royal Naval Commandos. The other was a self regarding group who thrive on the oxygen of disruption for the sake of it. Only one of these groups is in any way capable of causing real mayhem, whilst the other can only wish. The marines remind us, that it was indeed, they, themselves who put the great into Great Britain. The rabble delight in shaming us all, never realizing that they are the shameful.

Thank you Togo. (from an Ex. RM)
