A Torn Man

I am, as the title suggests, a torn man. I cannot stand what that group of Muslim protestors did, and think it a gross miscarriage of justice that they are allowed to stand there and hurl abuse at the men and women who have been off to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight for us.

However, I also think it is absolutely wonderful that they are allowed to. This is, after all, one of the reasons that Anglian Regiment were out in a war-zone, so that people were free to voice their opinions without fear of repurcussions.

Modern Britain does not have a lot going for it. The NHS, and that's about it, really. But the fact that these people were allowed to victimise a group of people based purely on their occupation actually makes me a little bit proud to call myself British. I normally support the forces instinctively (although not blindly), and I do so here, but I would like to call anyone who has called for protestors like them to be banned from parades and so on a naive and moronic pillock.
