Nigel Chamberlain, of CND told the BBC that it was vital that people collectively voiced their opposition to the UK Government's support of military strikes. Appropriate last name.

I say take their word for it. Make their neighborhoods a police and army free zone and let them deal with terrorism on their own. I have had it trying to input some sense in the heads of peace nicks.

The Brits need to revive their old Falkland Islands spirit:
"Pip, pip, and let's have a war!"
To: sarcasm
That's the first thing I noticed.
Nuclear disarmament is another catch phrase of the Communists.
It sounds warm and fuzzy until you realize that we would either be dead or a lot poorer without nukes.

"We absolutely agree that the perpetrators must be brought to justice." And what method do they suggest? Waiting for more of our citizens to be murdered? IDIOTS.

Free Britannia is still very young - give it a couple more months and we'll have enough for the counter demonstration.
I have to admit, I hate these bastards with a deep, seething passion. They have no idea of reality, and think that just because they think something, it is true.
Parasitical gobshite.
Regards, Ivan

The commies are back in the guise of Druids. Same old inane garbage. The real "green" in their party is all the dope they smoke, which is how they get their "bright" ideas and theories.

Some people like to be beaten.
Others like to beat.
Only problem may be keeping the "givers" and the "recievers" teams even.
On with the games!

Ivan, you are Britain's answer to Alistair Cooke.
What would we do without your insightful postings?
What surprises me about these peacenics is that they would be the first to complain about loss of liberty if Britain became a totalitarian state, a definite possibility if we had not stood up to the Nazis and the Communists.

FreeBritannia will reach critical mass quickly... but in the meantime, remember: "one man with courage makes a majority" -- Andrew Jackson
I, too, am so disgusted with these people that they are not worth my saliva to spit upon them. Patrick Henry always comes to mind when I see them:
"Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
To: sarcasm
I agree - I actually wondered if he was a relative of Neville's.
These people, I assuming (I'll let our resident Brits reply) represent a small portion of what the actual population feels. If you notice, as in the U.S., the support groups are Commies, Eco-Fascists and the like.
Hint - they're not anti-WAR, they're anti-U.S., U.K., generally anti-Western civilization in toto. Our great good luck is that they are truly exposing themselves for what they are this time, and I'm betting the vast majority of Brits and Americans, who enjoy living in and are proud of, their countries will not side with them.
Plus, the added benefit is that it makes the Left side with the Taliban - a horrendously oppressive regime which tortures women and has rigidly repressed the Afghan people. Just think - average British or American government, or the Taliban - who would you rather side with?

"Free Britannia is still very young - give it a couple more months and we'll have enough for the counter demonstration."
Best of luck to you.

Anti-war protest in Nairobi Thousands of Muslims in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, have defied a police ban and protested against the American-led attacks against Afghanistan.
Demonstrators came out onto the streets after Friday prayers carrying pictures of Osama Bin Laden, the main suspect behind last month's attacks on New York and Washington.
Banners criticising the United States, Britain and Israel were held aloft and there were chants such as "Down, Down, USA!" and "Allah Akhbar" (God is great)
"Bin Laden is our hero. We, Kenyan Muslims, will always support him," said one banner.
The protest along Kenyatta Avenue and other major roads was reported to be generally peaceful.
< SNIP > Muslims make up about 25% of the population of Kenya.

Ivan, you are an important voice of encouragement to us and your countrymen and I stand united with you! Sometimes I feel like we stand alone in a righteous cause after watching demonstrators in Western countries on TV. We have to realize that these people are an extreme minority and although many span the spectrum from socialists to anarchists, many are just plain ignorant of the dangers lurking at and inside our doorsteps. They think we can reason with the unreasonable. WRONG! The lines are being drawn now and if we fail to face our adversaries and protect our freedoms and way of life, we are doomed.

Ivan, I was at RAF Greenham Common in 1983, when the first ground launched cruise missiles arrived. All those peace mongering women were camped outside the gate. I don't think the local British liked them much, and I think they were involved with CND. I was in the control tower, when, all of a sudden, we looked up, and saw a car speeding across the infield, across the runway, toward a USAF C-5 sitting on the ramp. This was a few weeks after the Marine Barracks in Beirut was blown up. A 20 year old USAF security policeman, took off after him and hit him head on with his vehicle. Talk about a helpless feeling from the tower, there was nothing we could do, but watch.
