We Demand A Main Road Public Parade! We Will Not Let Our Fallen Soldiers to be Driven Down Side Streets to Avoid the Public!
The British Patriots Society have set up a petition to vent our disgust at the treatment of our fallen soldiers by the Government. We have already organised an anti-EU & anti-foreign aid march & demo in London on the 20th Aug where we will be handing a petition in to Downing Street regarding the EU & foreign aid. At the same time we will be handing in the Petition against the disgraceful decision for our fallen soldiers being driven down side streets to avoid the public. Please sign & share, thank-you.
This is a disgraceful way to treat those who have
given their lives in the interest of our country! We Demand That They
Receive The Same Respect As They Did At Wootton Basset! The message this
action sends to the families of the fallen is disgraceful.
The bodies of soldiers killed in Afghanistan will no longer be honoured with a
public parade but will be driven through back streets to avoid upset, it has
emerged.For several years, the flag-draped coffins of fallen servicemen and women have
been met by large crowds who line the streets to pay their respects as they
return to British soil.But repatriation flights are to be diverted and will no longer be flown back
to RAF Lyneham and through the small Wiltshire town of Royal Wootton
Bassett, where they were saluted come rain or shine.Instead, they will arrive back to RAF Brize Norton, where they will be driven
through the back gate and then down side roads, neatly avoiding the nearby
town of Carterton, as they make their way to the John Radcliffe Hospital in
Oxford. Wootton Bassett was the first town in more than 100 years to be granted the
“Royal” title in recognition of its parades for fallen soldiers.
The government thought they could hide our fallen heroes in back streets without anyone noticing. The momentum we have built proves they were dead wrong and we are done letting them insult our soldiers.

Keep them in the public eye. People want to pay respects it is the least we can do.

SHAMEFUL. They deserve the best send off, not to be treated like some kind of secret. Disgusting.

Total disrespect to the fallen. Should be a national day of honor every time they come home.

Absolute disgrace. Those men gave everything for this country and deserve a proper procession down the main road. Shame on whoever decided this.
