"these people are allowed to have their march on such a day, just like that hook and his cronies were allowed to preach thier hatred for us for so long.... they are obviously chucking it back in our faces what our young men and women did in 44"

Pretty ill-informed to lump Sikhs in with Muslim extremists - I'd guess they were commemorating the anniversary of the Golden Temple attack, and if anything the march was anti-Indian. In their own way they were remembering their own dead.
Plenty of Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus, Gurkhas (and Africans of several colonies/countries) also died on our behalf during WW11.

Seems to be a bit of a cab-driver tone in general in the 'deep south' nowadays...

On my last trip to France we stoped Dunkirk and sat on one of the bunkers looking out to sea. We will never forget the young men that gave all.
My Dad was one of those guys that made on D-Day .
