This is a difficult one.
On the one hand we have our brave and wonderful young men and women being sent to fight a war not of their making and not of their choosing. Nevertheless, they are acquitting themselves with honour and sadly many of them are being killed. We want to honour these youngsters and support their grieving families and friends. We do it by standing in silent respect and saluting them as their bodies are brought home.
This is our country and our right. We should support our fighting forces, just as they support us.
On the other hand, there are those living in our land who claim citizenship, but whose nationalistic, ethnic and religious loyalties lie elsewhere. They see our fighting forces as being sent to repress those to whom they feel ethnic or religious kinship. They resent the slaughter of Afghanis and Iraquis as being a crusade against Islam.
They have the right to have their views.
But Wootton Basset isn't the place to air their views and public demonstration isn't the way to do it.
By protesting in Wootton Basset, they would be implying that it is our fighting forces who are to blame for the deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq. It isn't. It is the fault of the politicians who sent them there.
If they really wish to protest, they should do it in London, where the politicians are. Not in Wootton Bassett, where the dead British victims of the fighting are brought home.
These people really do need to be sensitive to the feelings of the people who make up the vast majority their host nation and the brave people in our armed forces of whatever ethnicity.
If this demonstration goes ahead, it will do no one any good and can only sow the seeds of hatred.
And I can say with absolute certainty that if any Brit tried pulling a similar stunt in Pakistan or Iraq, they wouldn't stay alive very long. They would be ripped limb from limb - and very likely by the police.
And, yes. That is what makes our society morally and ethically superior to theirs.
