A former serviceman was left bloodied and bruised when two drunken thugs beat him up for wearing an RAF blazer and poppy.
Anthony O'Brien, 69, was attacked by the thugs, aged between 17 and 20, after meeting friends to plan the funeral of a former colleague.
Mr O'Brien said today that as they attacked him they shouted: 'Blow up all soldiers. F****** shoot all you b*******s - death to all soldiers.'
The pair - described as being of Asian or mixed race - then headbutted and punched him to the floor leaving him in a daze.

In the UK Press, when someone is referred to as being "Asian" it frequently means that the person is or appears to be Middle Eastern.
The term "Yob" is "backslang" (a word spelled and spoken backwards and giving a new twist to the original) meaning a young thug or hooligan

Here is a page from the BBC explaining the significance of the poppy that Mr. O'Brien wore:

Will the last person left in our crime-infested cities and towns switch off the lights and hold a minute's silence for the death of all that was decent and great about Britain.

This is like a scene from the frightening movie Harry Brown.
A scary picture for the UK Olympics.
May they catch these yobs quickly, but ,of course there will be no conviction.
How dare this old pensioner live in THEIR country.
Get the cowards responsible and string them up. Best of luck and health to Anthony, a credit to his regiment and country.
No dicipline no punishment result no respect . Shame the Westminster trough is filled with gutless spineless trough dwelling left wing things??????.
This type of thing has been becoming more and more common since the cane was banned in schools, and will continue to grow as our gloriously deaf leaders carry on handing out weaker sentences. It will not be long before the safest place will be in jail.
We desperatly need the birch, stocks and hanging brought back into use to teach these thugs that crime does not pay.
Whats the use of catching the scum when politicians like Ken Clarke would consider it wrong to imrison them for what they have done?
Mr OBrien deserves so much more than this, we should consider the victims and as for offenders its about time we started punishing them instead of always harping on about their "human rights"!
And just what will our wonderful legal system do to these scum if/when they are caught. I know what I would do with them, but it would no doubt be against their bloody human rights.
Good luck Anthony.
It appears to me that we have lost control of the streets in many parts of this country and the ideals and fairness we as a people were once so noted for, and proud of, has been replaced by a selfish, aggressive, violent, thuggery which has reached near 'normal' proportions. How often do we now witness screaming and fighting in the street and walk on by because we've become used to it and too fearful to take a stand. It seems to me that the only hope for this Country is for the Silent Majority to finally rise and say we've all had enough of watching this Country being turned into the cesspit of Europe.
lets see how the system works for white man attacked by Asian's/mixed race?? there would have been riots and shops burnt down if two white yobs had attacked an Asian/mixed race pensioner?
where are the cctv's when you need them

in cases like this, the camera has run out of film or is broken
That's the reward you get you get you brave old soul. That's what your comrades died for, for the freedom of scum like these.
It makes me sick.
Imagine if the opposite had happened....a couple of white lads hitting an elderly asian fella calling for death to all his people and calling him asian scum........
There would be riots on the streets and condemnations from every asian 'head' in the country (if not the world), probably oour MP's too! But....this is multi-cultural England...can't possibly complain about seeing an old war verteran get battered by two younger men...in fact the young men were probably the victims. I'm sure they had it hard growong up in their own countries or here in 'white' Britian. We should learn to accept their values!!
This country is a complete joke. I am reading stories dailiy which make me so so so angry...and people wonder why parties such as the BNP are growing in popularity!!
nothing will happen to them ,but if it was white guys beating up an Asian all hell would break out .its about time this country treated its people all the same .now find them and lock them up for a very long time
Greater Manchester Police who is investigating the incident, said, 'This was a mindless and brutal attack on a vulnerable member of the community.
THIS WAS A RACIST ATTACK BUT BECAUSE THE PERPS ARE ASIAN IT DOESNT GET CLASSED AS SUCH.
THEY ATTACKED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS WHITE...VULNERABLE AND SHOUTED ABUSE TANTAMOUNT TO INCITEMENT TO RACIAL HATRED.
BUT BEING ASIAN...ITS NOT RACIST
BNP & EDL will sort out and stop such behaviour,period.
I thought England had more or less decided that it didn’t want to be a country any more. A lot more of this sort of thing can be expected, I’m sure.
“Thought you might be interested” ping
Speechless....
In current UK-speak, “Asian” usually means Pakistani Muslim.
Uh-huh.
England has become “A nation of shopkeepers”.
Are you sure they weren't a "couple"?
Remember, this is not a “hate crime”. Only crimes against non-Whites can be classified as a hate crime.
Good, glad we got that cleared up.
A 69 year old man. That’s “Asian” courage for you.

Apologies for the double post.
Let me guess, these frickin’ “Asians” were actually Muslims of the religion of peace. Why the British citizens don’t rise up against their frickin’ government and demand these evil bas****s to be thrown out of their country I will never know, and this sh** will be happening here in greater frequency also if we don’t stand up and demand they be thrown out.
Inviting into your country millions and millions of people who hate you, your culture, your language, and your way of life. That's "enlightened government" for you.
Bingo. Muslims did this. Standard British yobs would not have done this.
When this happens, where will they be "thrown out" too? Who will take them? No one, that's who.
The result will be terrible, horrible beyond anything we've ever seen. The elites will reap what they sowed. They'll get the population decrease they've been hoping for, though.
There is one in the white hut.
Asian means Pakistani or Indian in England.
