Not so unreasonable when you think about it.

It would be quite wrong if I were allowed to break the law because I believe the UK had no right to invade the sovereign countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. Our boys should not be there, in my opinion, but that does not give me any right to attack those who think otherwise.
Read my post John I said my friends brother and I was imagining how he might react if pushed over the edge.

This is not just an insult to those who served and died in the two conflicts you quote it is a sickening slur on all those who gave their lives since 1914 to ensure we have the freedom we enjoy today. Those who curse and abuse that freedom should face the full force of the law.

If a similarly obscene minority demonstration happened in Spain - how would the Guardia Civil handle it ? Boots, water cannon and night sticks would be the order of the day I suspect
