The rights and wrongs of battle don't matter to the broken hearts of those the fallen leave behind. Today was Armistice Day, and like many others around the country today, I paid my respects by taking part in a two minute silence at 11am.
Whatever you think of the rights and wrongs of war, past or present, today was not the time to show those objections.
It has sickened me to read reports of Muslims holding demonstrations. Muslims clashed with police after burning a large poppy in protest at Britain's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which was timed to coincide with Armistice Day's two-minute silence.
Whatever you may think about the rights and wrongs of war, today was not the time to make those objections. Today was about showing your respects to all those past and present that had died.
I am tired of the way my country has to tip toe around these people for fear of offending them. Clearly they had no such compunction when they burned a poppy and interrupted today's peaceful remembrance celebrations.
The British have been tolerant enough. We will not put up with such disgusting and offensive behaviour forever.
To all those who took part in such protests today, let me tell you, all you achieved was to tell the rest of the world that you are the lowest of the low!
