'Allowing' marches? The police had no problem with it. And those 300k people observed Armistice Day just as much as anyone else. If you disagree with someone's right to march, for peace, I imagine you'd probably enjoy some Netanyahu style democracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably would, but I doubt very much they would be overly pleased that a protest match of that size was instigated on the one day a year when their sacrifice is remembered by all.

That March was a peaceful call for a ceasefire. The idiots at the cenotaph are nothing to do with that should not be lumped in with them. Armistice is a call for warring parties to cease, today is the very best day to call for a ceasefire. Your ire and irritation should be aimed at the right wing boneheads.

Like I say it’s all about timing and respect. It's not like an email went out to say come and attend a march. Decent people, who respect the war dead, feel that what is happening right now supported by our government is not acceptable. You don't get a train to London to march if you don't feel there's some huge injustice happening right now. Why should a day where we remember those who died in a senseless war, not have something in common with a current equally senseless slaughter in Gaza? Or are we being picky about who gets to remember the dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not at all belittling anything regarding what is going on in the Gaza Strip all I’m saying is there are plenty of other days. I’m sure when the madness stops the dead in this conflict will be remembered by the people involved in it.
