Government set to ban extremist rally in Wootton Bassett following Facebook campaign

while i do think it's disrespectful, they are entitled to their views and free speech, if the funerals were for people dying in accidents this would have been disgusting as gordon brown says, however these men coming back in coffins were ignorantly fighting an illegal war to further profits for a bunch of rich elite men, killing innocent people, and i am sick of the media hailing them as heroes!

Under articles of "British Law" the Extremist views shared by this group could incite a public order (riot in otherwords) issue within the town of Wootton Bassett, we have used this law in the past to block entry to the UK for other religious extremists not just Muslim's. We are in the UK with UK laws I was not demanding that Muslims change their laws to stop the whole stoning, hanging & killing in the name of Allah in their own country one phrase rings out here "If you don't like it leave" end of if you think it's better over there live there.

they have every right to march, you cannot deny their freedom because of their beliefs - if there was no ILLEGAL war in the first place....

The government have shut down BNP protests in the past. In theory, they're not objecting to the Islam4UK protesting (the group had pledged the protest would be peaceful with symbolic coffins representing Muslim victims) but anyone planning a protest has to apply to the police first and in this instance the police deemed it too risky to approve.

A spokeswoman for Wiltshire Police told press: "Under the Public Order Act the organiser must inform the police of the date, time and route of the proposed procession, and the name and address of the organiser.

"If the march or procession is believed to be likely to result in serious disorder, disruption or damage, then the police can impose conditions upon the organiser.

"In exceptional circumstances, police may apply to the local authority for an order prohibiting such a march."

To date there had been no contact from Islam4UK or any other group wishing to arrange such a march in Wootton Bassett," the spokeswoman added.

Wootton councillor, Jenny Stratton, said: "Everyone has the right to protest, but it's not a very tactful place to do it."

Using this logic, shouldn't the government have also shutdown protests by the BNP?
