2,000 Brits take to streets to honor fallen Squaddie, media attacks marchers

Examiner:

An estimated throng of 2,000 strong English patriots marched peacefully through the streets of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England to honor the recently butchered British “Squaddie” (English slang for soldier), as reported by the Shropshire Star (of Telford, England) on May 25, 2013.

Drummer Lee Rigby of Her Majesty’s Royal Artillery was attacked while walking outside the Royal Artillery Barracks in the Woolwich area of south London just days ago.

Two Muslim attackers first struck Drummer Rigby with their car, then when dazed and injured, they proceeded to butcher him with a meat cleaver and a butcher’s knife.

The Afghan war vet was eventually very slowly publicly beheaded.

The gruesome scene was recorded on witnesses’ cellphones, and a video emerged in which one of the two suspects — his hands bloodied — boasted of their exploits and warned of more violence as the soldier lay on the ground. Holding bloody knives and a meat cleaver, the suspects waited for police, who shot them in the legs, witnesses said.

In the video, one of the suspects declared, “We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you … We must fight them as they fight us.”

Meanwhile In Newcastle…

As reported, members of the patriotic organization, the English Defence League (EDL) gathered in the northeastern English city of Newcastle Upon Tyne to honor the fallen warrior.

Drummer Rigby’s official military title was “Drummer,” but served in combat fighting the Taliban as a machine gunner, and by all accounts, served with honor, distinction and valor.

With few exceptions, the march was peaceful and ended in an orderly fashion.

Chief Superintendent Gary Calvert stated to the press:

It’s actually Timothy Whiteman who is painting an entirely one-sided picture of the EDL. Their past behavior has sometimes had far more in common with that of football hooligans than with, say, Tea Party members. The media that Whiteman is so critical of has been mindful of that fact.

The march itself was for honoring the Tommy.
Yes, EDL was present
Yes, a lot of EDL members are hard core Football fans.
But the hooligans are getting cleaned out at the games … even for Millwall….

And of course the press does its wonderful job… … … or lack thereof

Notice the flags?
EDL flies the Saint George Cross portion of the British flag.
(If you look closely at the British flag you see it is made up of various other flags, too.)
Even people not remotely associated with EDL are being persecuted for flying this flag:

Steven Rolfe has displayed the St. George flag with pride for TEN YEARS.
The 52-year-old former soldier painted the red and white symbol on his front door in 2003 yet only now have his landlords decided it is ‘offensive’ and must go.

He has 14 days to remove it – or face eviction.
Mr Rolfe, who served in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, said: ‘I’ve had this for ten years and nobody has said anything until now.

‘My landlords, Places for People, sent me a letter saying it could be deemed offensive, and that I was breaking my agreement over a nuisance.

‘I wrote back, asking for retrospective permission because it’s been there so long, but they weren’t interested.

‘I’m ex-forces and I’m proud to be English. I’m not in the EDL or any other racist group. I’m very angry about this, and I won’t be changing anything. I want my day in court.’

Note well:
This is the same garbage that is happening here regarding the Gadsen Flag.
All of a sudden it is ”Offensive.”
