Nah mate, glamorous grannies.

The Oppressed - Remember. (2008)

Remember how not long ago, the battlelines were drawn.
When evil men stood side by side and fascism was born.
Remember how the young men fought, the tens of millions dead.
When fascism crawled out of hell and raised it's ugly head.

Always remember, and never forget.
Always remember, remember the threat.
Always remember, remember the pain.
Always remember, never again.
Never again.

Mothers tell your children, about the price they paid.
Tell them of the blood they spilt, the sacrifices made.
If we don't learn from history, the lesson will be lost.
The same mistakes we'll make again, our kids will pay the cost.

Really looking forward to this event, but when I googled it yesterday for times etc Bristol Indymedia website came up with their sordid little plans about having a counter protest, and how they could angle it, so they wouldnt look too bad.

If they do Roddy, I look forward to seeing you there with me telling then to f**k off.

Whatever happened to the free speech argument that was used to allow the EDL to march?

if we are going to have a day where we celebrate how good this country is at going to war with other countries and killing people, you would expect people to protest - especially as we have just gone through a period of conflicts with very dubious legality and seriously dodgy hidden agendas.

Given that we have just spent seven years illegally occupying iraq and killing tens of thousands in the process, you cant expect to flaunt our military might without a lot of people getting pretty pissed off. And as is constantly bleated out on here, 'our troops went to war to protect our right to free speech', so it would be a little ironic to complain when people speak out against the war machine rolling into town as if it was some sort of glorified circus.

Many individual servicemen have been extremely brave in recent years and they deserve some respect, but the recent wars are not something we should be proud of, quite the opposite - that is not the soldiers fault, it is the governments fault. Hence my protest will take the form of staying well away.

you have made your point and thats your right as a british citizen, but dont forget the armed forces are there to protect that right. dont forget all the positive things they do like when they are sent to disaster areas all over the world to offer aid. i'l be the next saturday to cheer them on
