Should any marches around or near the Cenotaph this weekend not be allowed?

And we still have a right to peaceful protest which we should exercise without supporting one side over the other but showing the rest of the world that we are not cheering on any of the destruction that is going on but saying please stop.
Asking for armistice in fact.
If Suella Braverman cared about the armed forces she would try to help the numbers of ex servicemen sleeping rough, not wanting to take their tents away.

osamabinladen where is your 75% from please?

Annie. You're very welcome.

If this is the kind of country where veterans are fearful to go out in their uniforms, wearing their medals, then something has gone very, very wrong somewhere.

They fought for peace, freedom and democracy.
Younger veterans were always prepared to defend the population of this country.

If this is the kind of country where so many ex army and veterans have to make 'the life style' choice of sleeeping in the street, then something has gone very, very wrong somewhere.

There is help for any ex forces who have physical or mental health problems in Britain Fleurpepper you may not realise that.

Callistemon I fear that we have become that kind of country already.So many people now living in Britain don’t understand what a cenotaph is or about our services and parades of remembrance.They seem to think it’s about celebrating wars or about the British Empire.Maybe time to have a conversation by teachers in schools to students about this, or a public information ‘short’ on tv ahead of Nov 11th in future years.

Very aware, thanks. Man still end up on the streets- I am sure you are aware of this.

Someone made a very profound comment on TV earlier on. He said that maybe the marchers should reflect that the reason they are free to march and protest is because thousands of people gave their lives in 2 world wars so that the rest of us could enjoy that freedom.

It made me cry.

(Sorry, can't remember who the speaker was.)

Look at the link I've just provided- this is Churchill's grandson, saying just this (and he is very Tory).

Look at Johnny Mercer MP, he works tirelessly for veterans.

The armed forces have so many options for ex servicemen, and work with them.

I wonder why the speaker didn't think that they had already thought about that Sparklefizz, and that their belief in the very same freedom is why they are marching.

If people died to ensure our freedom surely we should support those using it for what they believe we bring freedom to others. Whether we agree with them or not we should still want the same freedoms for all, shouldn't we?

Surely the war dead deserve one weekend a year when the country can join together in remembrance

And, if everyone stops turning up the heat under the current already febrile atmosphere, they can Anniebach.

Oh yes, admirable work. But still, many end up on the streets, for all sorts of reasons. Mainly because they reject the army they joined too young, alcohol, drugs and mental issues.

Looking at the timing and the route online, they are setting off after the remembrance ceremony and are well away. Certain of the right wing media, primed by SB, are whipping the gullible into a frenzy about this.

Yes those stupid people how lovely it is to feel superior to them.

I am not gullible, certainly not in a frenzy, best you don’t judge ?

Afghan veterans and their families who fled Taliban to UK at risk of homelessness as crisis looms

Did I say you were? Only if you have been shipped into a frenzy does this apply. Duh!

Not in a frenzy then it’s not you I’m referring to then!

Such an intelligent reply - Duh Quokka

You just mean people who hold a different opinion to you. Those hysterical people.

Anniebach & Galaxy do you consider it ‘intelligent’ to be led by the nose by the likes of Braverman?

It's pointless to argue with an expert on the subject, GrannyGravy ☹

And the whole focus of the Poppy Appeal is to help ex-service personnel who may be in need, including the few who find themselves, for many reasons as with the wider population, homeless.
