[Misc] veterans / football lads to march on sunday 12 nov

[Thunder Bolt]

It says clearly the veterans have asked for their help

The wording is the vets.

Veterans will be on Horseguards and then go through Admiralty Arch onto Whitehall. The ‘football lads’ won’t be allowed anywhere near the veterans.

i can’t believe you believe such nonsense, honestly!

 

[Eeyore]

Seems as though they realise the confusion….Saturday appears to be ‘kicking off’ day

Should that read 'There will now be meets on both days' as well as 'Oh shit, some us will be at the football on Saturday...' ?

 

[Eric Potts]

Imagine calling YOURSELF 'lads' in a non-ironic way.

It's like using the word BANTER

Top Lads , top Bantz , innit.

Its a rabble raised by Tommy Robinson's demand that people 'ProTeCt ThE CenOtApH!'

They are going to be very disappointed when they march about and don't encounter any Muslim types at all - the Pro-Palestine march being as it is on the Saturday (and not on Remembrance Day, as the right wing papers are nefariously implying).

Saturday is Armistice Day, Sunday is remembrance Sunday. Both are significant to many.

I apologise, was being sarcastic

We know. But the fact that some are saying that Armistice Day has some kind of holy significance and saying the march should not go ahead, whilst having no problem with the Lord Mayor's Show, sporting events and all sorts of other stuff suggests there is more at play here.

If this was, say, a march against the ban on fox hunting, would the Home Secretary be screaming for an (unhelpful) policeman ?

Take a closer look buddy.

Clearly Noel Fitzpatrick and James Herriot are behind all this.

My brain is giving me a distant image of a Sunday evening programme. But I can't remember the name.

'All Cretins Great and Small' welcome to join the DFLA march.

Jeez, I was merely pointing out that your post seemed to imply that Saturday is an ' ordinary day', making no reference to Armistice Day.

So, basically, they are just ensuring that they can go and beat some people up on Saturday – the 'day of action'? And, thanks to politicians, RW media and goodness knows who else, they'll be seen as the 'good guys' for doing so.

Twats.

So an unauthorised group are going to march on the cenotaph seemingly intent on trouble? This sounds potentially very dangerous.i assume the home secretary has had something to say

Just heard the Cenotaph has been shut off on Saturday.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

I'm going up Saturday to pay my respects at The Cenotaph and meeting a few other Forces Veterans as well.
Looks like we are all far right wing football hooligans if you believe the media.

Brilliant, I am going to services on both days, always very moving and poignant.

I am not however, calling people who attend services and those at the Cenotaph far right nut jobs. The far right nut jobs however, are wanting to counter the Palestinian protest, and protect statues from said protest when the protest isn’t going near, It is just a smoke screen for them to shout their grim views and be thugs.

Fwiw I am REALLY uncomfortable with the Palestinian protest due to it’s choice of day, but at the same time respect if it wasn’t for the fallen, we wouldn’t be able to peacefully protest and have these freedoms and those in that protest wouldn’t be able to protest in the first place.

Nope but i will be attending the wreath laying ceremony at the War Memorial (locally) on Sunday to pay my respects and thanks

 

[A1X]

The wording is the vets.

Correct. They need some help administering anaesthetic to a Dalmatian.

So the issue seems to be with the idea that a few members of a larger collective could cause trouble in London on a Saturday? Sounds like most Millwall matches TBH.
