Daily Mail Very Confused About Flags Being Waved By Marine-Heckling British Protesters
A homecoming march by Royal Marines returning after a bloody tour of Afghanistan was hijacked yesterday by anti-war protesters. Five militants waving Iraqi flags screamed 'genocide' and 'not in my name' at soldiers from 3 Commando as they marched from Buckingham Palace to Parliament. Some of the protesters also tried to use a megaphone to drown out the Royal Marines band but were beaten when onlookers began to clap and cheer to overcome them.
The accompanying pictures:
None of the protesters were arrested, incidentally, despite police officers having to physically drag them away. That's probably for the better. Britain's economy being what it is, the police force probably can't afford any more of the compasses they've handed out to each and every Muslim detainee. So the inmates can know where Mecca is, you see.
