For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Having been described by TTT on here as a 5C leftie, I can tell you that on Remembrance Sunday, I will be marching past The Cenotaph along with thousands of veterans and various associations. Our association is to assemble in Column E and we are E34.
I remember one senior police officer a few years ago, commenting on some protesters at Wooton Basset, that the protesters have every right to do so in a free, democratic country. Start from there.
Clarion, some media outlets are saying the march is planned for Saturday 11 November - actual Remembrance Day when the two minutes silence will be disrupted - others that it will take place on Sunday 12 when the service at the Cenotaph is held. Personally, I'd guess that the protesters will be around on both days, but whichever way, it's disgraceful.
andy-hughes, //Naomi - Please ignore my last post.
I read the OP late last night, and didn't register that the march was planned for Remembrance Sunday.//
If you don't mind I won't ignore it because I would like some clarification. In your opinion is support for Hamas, a banned terrorist group, not disrespectful to this country at any other time?
yeah they should demonstrate if they want
If they have "warring demos" ariound remembrance , I think tacit support for Gaza ( dead babies etc) will plummet in England.
strikes me as a bad political ploy - you know like ( Emily Davidson) only she walks out in front of Diana's hearse, shouting stop! stop! - blimey imagine that. Yeah yeah I know it didnt happen, but if....
enthusiastically in favour.
although i will donate to the RBL i will not be wearing a poppy this year because i find the "never again" sentiment to be utterly hyprocritical. i was taught that it was the job of every generation including my own to ensure that nothing like the horrors of ww2 ever happened again... and yet our government not only tolerates but cheers on a genocide because it happens to be committed by israel - a country that we are politically aligned with.
it is shameful and i think it reeks of hypocrisy to support what israel is doing on the one hand and blather about "remembrance" and "never again" on the other. i doubt very much that i will ever wear the poppy again and i am very pleased that a demonstration is planned for the day on which this hypocrisy is most acute. i might even join it.
