For those who like to think the police should 'do something' when there is an occurrence which that person does not agree with. Just recall the outcry when a 'Newspaper seller' was pushed by the police when they were policing a riotous demonstrative in London.

In the recent student demo I suspect that the need to not over spend may have influenced the police when they were deciding how many officers to have on stand-by. If there had been no disturbance, that officer might have been criticised for over-staffing, at a time when all public services are being cut back. The police are frequently in a no win situation.

As for changing the law: I personally don't think that a few stupid acts by extremists should cause us to have a knee-jerk reaction. If we did then they win !

It's a bloody insult to our fallen hero's, nation and public,it's incitement at the very least.

Did you not see the signs and hear what they were saying?

Tell me John you think that's ok?

Also tell me what would happen if I stand on a soap box in Karachi and say Mohammed is a ******,I would be executed simple as that.

I am pleased to say most people in this country are appalled by what they did and rightly so

One last point where are the decent Muslims calling for these nutters to stop,I'm sure there were some standing nearby but I did not see anyone of them say we don't agree with this.
