Protesters heckle returning troops - Home News, UK - The Independent
Protesters heckled soldiers and brandished placards opposing the war in Afghanistan during a homecoming parade for troops today.
A group of predominantly Muslim protesters gathered in Barking town centre, in east London, as members of the 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment marched through the streets.
One witness said: "There were about 25 to 50 Muslim protesters carrying placards with things like 'Muslims Against Crusades' and 'British Soldiers Go To Hell'.
I think we all know what the correct response should have been.

Not to put too fine a point on it but - these protesters are scum.

Alternatively, to quote Sir Michael Caine:
"At one hundred yards. Volley fire ... Present. Open .... Fire!"
