There were two recent cases, that of Wendy Lewis, and Philip Laing, who whilst drunk, desecrated two different war memorials.

This was headline news on all the TV and radio news programmes.

I do think there is a political agenda at play, as to why the BBC have chosen largely to ignore yesterday's outrage.

Part of the problem is that for years the liberal elite have pandered to minority groups, instead of forcing them to integrate.

Historically wave after wave of people have come to these islands, over the centuries. They still managed to keep their cultural identities, and religious beliefs, but they became part of British society.

State funding should be withdrawn NOW, from every group and organisation that differentiates it's self on religious or racial lines. It's divisive, in that it separates, rather than bringing anyone together.

As Mancie posted, everyone in this country should be free to protest.

However, British citizens should not be legally allowed to call for the deaths of our serving armed forces.

Americas' citizens, one of the most racially diverse countries on the planet, turn incandescent with furious rage if someone burns their flag, yet we sit idly by, whilst what made this country great is quickly being eroded.

The sooner our government realise this, and take into account the views of the vast majority of British people, and ignore the snivelling, idiotic, politically correct, wooly headed, do-gooders, who perpetrate division, the better.

Strange how Wendy Lewis and Philip Laing feature so prominently on BBC news sites.

BBC News - Veterans jeer Blackpool woman who urinated on memorial

BBC NEWS | England | South Yorkshire | Jail threat for urinating student

I wonder why?

Can't think how they could possibly be different, from the scum who took part in yesterday's 'protest'.

Oh, hang on...

Sadly I did think if I should post 'is happening still', rather than happened.

It sickens me to have witnessed on TV the crass, cowardly back-pedalling of the powers that be when it it is plain for all to see that this bunch of anarchic nerds are behaving in such an appallingly disrespectful manner towards our war dead. They should be swept down the nearest sewer and drowned in the filth that they espouse on an almost daily basis. Their passports and British citizenship should be withdrawn immediately and this scum, together with their rabble rousing counterparts thrown out of the country with no recourse to return.

People are justifiably sick and fed up with these increasing instances and will sooner or later take to the streets, but is the government listening? No chance!

Allow me to agree with you,

Now,, that's a first.

However, I am sick and fed up with the pussyfooting to minorities that we are doing.

I know people that are of Polish, Irish, so on and so forth through the whole of our society, the majority of whom fit in with the rest of us AND keep their history going.
In actual fact that is probably all we ask of the, (now how do I say this without being accused of prejudice?), Differently biased.

Feel free to be 'Differently biased', just do us a favour, don't do it here, fit in or ferk off.

Do you know? I've never felt so racial as I do after this poppy burning thing, it's of no use and hurts me because of those of every faith and religion that sacrificed themselves for 'this' kind of freedom.

One point here T, was this cop saying they can't do the job they are paid to do n uphold the law? without truncheons n boots? if so i find that rather pathetic.n i would bet many feel the same, i'm sure the framework of the law(watered down as it is now) allows em to take "Legal" action against this scum? its up to the politicians to bring further powers in to sort em once n fer all.
