Surely this can't be allowed to happen.

It's not like the BBC to post a non-story

e.g. Van Morrisson is a father again

I still remember the days when the BBC reported news, but they are getting good at reporting rumours and predictions..

Let's hope this does not go ahead, as it will just be a media platform for 2 extremist groups.

Unfortunately FagEnd, reporting this doesn't even come near to what has been reported and shown in the past mate.

I still recall the clip of Corporals David Howes and Derek Wood demise, to me the worst single clip i ever saw, and that was over 20 years ago.

Yes, I bet. It's a shame that fringe groups take the limelight in such a way. At least with the BNP the majority of people recognise that they don't accurately represent white people. Unfortunately, as a minority group, it may be the case that if this march goes ahead, sime people will attibute the actions of this group to muslims as a whole which will not be helpful. Nick Griffin will be loving this.

The real problem is that people the world over do not trust "foreigners" - except, perhaps, in Brunei. The BNP is just the UK manifestation of the mistrust.

Given the choice between a fair foreign administration and local politicians who are "bent as corkscrews", they always vote for the locals.

My cousin, a dedicated socialist, worked as a teacher in Mozambique for years until the locals turned against him. "It happens to every foreign helper they get" he said. "Eventually, someone stirs up anger and the only choice is to leave".

There is a university professor in Canada who has studied this for years. He cannot find a rational explanation - but he has built a large segment of a politics course around it.

And I don't like Lord Mandelson ...

I don't think it's your fault for popsting it mate, more those in the BBC and Sky that ramp it into something it isn't. They build up the bonfire and strike the match, then stand back and film it burning.

Common sense needs to be shown and any march by these fools needs to be stopped, no matter what rights they have.

Occasionally rights need to be postponed for the greater good, and any march would be against the greater good.

Yes let them march if we were warring against the muslims, but were not, its against a group within afghanistan.

If there is a UK membership of the taliban and hail from afghanistan, then let them march, I would gladly bring the custard powder

Just to add to my previous message, I really do hope that thuis march doesn't go ahead.. Whether people agree or disagree with the war, there is a time and place for such protests on home soil, and it's not now or there.
