Remembrance/Armistice Day.

I've just finished reading an article about a ban on a Muslim extremist group that burned poppies on last years memorial day.

I am in no way intending to be racist with this post, I just want to state my views.

I just don't understand how they can be so disrespectful. If it wasn't for the people who died in that war for this country, as far as we know this country wouldn't be how it was today. Yet, they choose to live here, do they not? Don't protest something that is so much part of British culture and then complain about how this country 'treats' you if you're going to continue to live here. Even if these protesters were born in England, there is nothing stopping them moving to another country if they feel that this country is so terrible.

I just feel like if someone who was an extremist here, e.g the English Defence League, it would be dealt with in a more severe way in other countries.

Yes, we've banned the group. However, as I read in the aforementioned article, it is believe this group has just to continue to rename itself every time it has been banned.

Make a choice: live here, and respect the culture and the heritage, or move.

Seems simple to me.
