'They gave their lives for our freedoms.' Indeed they did. Now certain groups refuse to allow them even a day of respect.

Nonsense. Lloyd George was not Prime Minister after October, 1922. The Irish Boundary Commission (Irish: Coimisiún na Teorann) met in 1924–25 to decide on the precise delineation of the border between the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. The two state 'solution' to Palestine was proposed by the UN in 1947. Israeli leaders accepted it, but Arab leaders did not. Were the British responsible for the extinction of the Dinosaurs as well?

@aldarabeare9274 70 years ago? Those people who died ensured that free speexh and the right to protest survived. They are commemorated on one week end every year. Is it really too much to ask that that one week end be respected? The criticism is not of the protests per se, but of the fact that the one on armistice weekend has been conceived of as a deliberate insult.

@ViralDabro When has the British media ever commented upon the nationalities of the allied dead of WW1 & WW2? Perhaps you don't know, but their names, of whatever nationality or faith, are recorded on memorials to them all over the world. The only bias here is yours.

@salekhossain1582 Who do you think you are to have the temerity to claim to know what the dead commemorated on Armistice Day would or would not have thought?

@ViralDabro Who are 'they' and what bias? I have simply stated a fact or two. I regret you inability to understand them.

@ViralDabro Your post is as clear as it is wrong. This particular is offensive :- 'The rhetoric we get it’s only the white British soldiers the gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedom we have today.' When has any media outlet ever specified that the soldiers were exclusively 'white?' 'And can you give the jihad thing a rest.' I don't need to give anything a rest as I have never made any such reference anyway. False accusations I fear, mon brave.
