    Of course they could choose another day than Remembrance Sunday couldn’t they but desecrating war memorials is just par for the course isn’t it?

    Forget any normal sense of justice Sir Outwood, anyone caught desecrating any war memorial, anywhere in the United Kingdom gets an immediate dozen swats to the napper with a baseball bat. My maternal and paternal grandfathers died from injuries sustained fighting on the Somme.

    One survived until 1940 the other until 1962 and the UK government did absolutely nothing for them. Pious hypocrisy, I hate it.

    My maternal grandfather survived WW1 BT but finally succumbed to his wounds in 1922. My grandmother did not receive much help towards bringing up her two young children. If groups of these Free Palestine protestors continue to believe they can vandalise war memorials it could well see very physical retribution being meted out. I think the perpetrators deliberately did this in order to provoke violence. As regards the marches people have a right to protest but again I question maybe not the motives of those organising the protests but certainly the malevolent intent of some of those attending.

    We can only wait and see Sir Outwood, I hope the white far right wing nut jobs can be restrained and the radicalised Muslims stay home. What a mess this country of ours is in.

    I would humbly suggest mon ami, that the handful of right-wing nut jobs in this country are the very least of our problems.

    Our list of problems seems to be growing exponentially mon ami but after 13 years of a Tory government I expect little else.

    If only we'd had 13 years of Tory government mon ami. Even Brexit was not a Tory policy, they campaigned to Remain and then appointed a Remainer in May to sabotage the negotiations. Brexit happened despite the Tories, not because of them, it was all down to Boris and Sir Nigel. I still search in vain for these charlatans to come up with any policy remotely Tory.

    I don’t see right wing nut jobs as the big part of the problem BT. I could of course turn into a right wing nut job at any given moment but then again strange things happen here in Radcliffe where lorries have been known to turn into side streets.

    They'll very likely get arrested if they come within a mile Claw. One law for them and one for us in this country.
