So a group of people protested against the troops, I am sad to say that it has never been limited to Muslims.
During my time in the RAF I was insulted because I was part of the armed forces and this happened in North Wales, Yorkshire,Scotland and West London. Bigots are all over the place and are nothing new. It just seems worse now because the film crews are news hungry and are informed in advance.
And racism is also more common than admitted , its not just those with ethnic backgrounds who get picked out. In Wales and Scotland I have been subjected to verbal abuse and thats just because I am English. But it is a minority who behave like that although its still a shock when it happens.
