Riddle me this then... Why were six EDL members arrested in gateshead for burning a Qu'ran recently? Surely this is just them demonstrating their freedom of speech too?

"These were the Muslim extremists who brought shame to the memory of the dead yesterday by breaking the traditional two-minute silence with chants of ‘British soldiers burn in hell’.
Ironically, it was the freedom for which thousands fought that allowed them to stage their demonstration at the stroke of 11am – the exact moment the nation came to a halt at the Cenotaph, across the country, and after parallel services at British bases in Afghanistan. "
Yeah, very neutral, very good news source.
I'm beginning to think that this forum is for people to rant instead of investigate.

You understand wrong. And what is your experience or knowledge base of live in the UK. Little Britain?
It's not too hard to figure out, like watch the movie Braveheart where the king would give land to people to be loyal. Where did the land come from to be given out? From other people who the Crown would deem as being disloyal. Under the feudal system the land ultimately belonged to the Crown and since William the Conqueror, they made good use of the concept to where big estates developed as rewards for fealty, and they exist to this day.

I don’t particularly care what these sad individuals have to say, as long as I am not around to hear it. They weren’t representing anyone’s beliefs but their own, if that. There were only ~30 of them so they would have to try and be as offensive as possible to get any attention at all. These aren’t mainstream Muslim beliefs and I'm sure that those who didn’t cover their faces at least are all on some record now.
Today our soldiers choose to be soldiers, if they die it is because they chose a very dangerous job and that’s all there is to it. When I’m dead someone can insult me all they like, but this isn’t only an insult to dead soldiers it is an insult to the families that they leave behind and that’s totally unacceptable and pointless in my opinion. If you're going to say those things, go out and say it to the soldiers themselves because I'm sure that they would love to hear it.

Dude you were right in the first post you made re conditions in the UK, I live up the road from Yiss the OP, his anti Muslim rabble rousing views are still uncommon but growing, mostly amongst low people like the ones I grew up with, cowardly bottom feeders the lot.
You'll note all the blowhards saying if a white man did this or that he'd be done for racism, but the reality is they do nowt because they're scared of getting hurt, just like their ancestors who looked up to Robbin Hood but wouldn't take to the forest, just kept their heads down and let the Normans take whatever they wanted.
