In this post, I’m not promising anything special. I’m a bit out of it thanks to my good friends co-codamol and Captain Morgan. However, seeing a couple of friends on Facebook join the following group caused my angry-self to come out from hiding and start bitching:
PARA REG TO LINE WOOTTEN BASSETT AND DO SOME DAMAGE
First of all:
Group Description:
if these fuckers want to bring the war over here lets be having them
Let’s ignore the terrible grammar for now. Let’s just lower ourselves to the same level as a minority of people who disagree with the war and feel the need to take some measures to get their point across.
There’s nothing that says that the planned protest will be a violent one. It’s us that are instinctively rising up to “DO SOME DAMAGE”.
What fucking message are you sending out here?
There’s a tiny amount of Muslims in the UK that aren’t happy with the current global political climate, that aren’t happy with the fact that we’re at war* and want to let the government and the world know in a way that doesn’t involve shoving a petition through a letterbox. So what we’re going to do is storm into Wootton Bassett, a place which holds a fuckload of sentimental significance for the families of those killed and cause some trouble before the Muslims do. CAUSE IT’S OUR COUNTRY AND WE CAN.
Read some of the comments on that group. I dare you. It’s sickening.
-facepalm-
Yes, it’s a terrible shame that people are dying. It’s a terrible shame that there’s so much conflict and mistrust between nations because of one horrible act of terrorism sparking an international crisis.
I don’t think I have any real conclusion to this. I’m thoroughly ashamed to be English when I see these kind of groups crop up – knee-jerk reactions and blatant racism, grouping all Muslims under ‘terrorist’. It’s exactly the same as saying all white people are Nazis.
Get. A. Fucking. Grip.
*If you hadn’t noticed, there’s a fair amount of British citizens that think so too. But, y’know, us liberals don’t count, do we?
