Did anyone see this on B.B.C.2? I couldn't believe what I was hearing / seeing! For anyone that didn't see it, it was about this bunch of interbred nutters.

Although I'm probably helping their cause by making more people aware of it, I'm pretty sure 99.99% of the people on this board would be just as shocked as I was at the poison that spewed out of their mouths. I was just wondering what your thoughts were about it.
I know how patriotic the people in the U.S.A. are, and whether you are Irish, Scottish, Welsh or English, Great Britain is right up there with you, especially when your country is critisized, questioned or its citizens put under threat somehow.
I don't consider myself a violent person by any means, but I've never wanted to punch a woman in the face as much as I did last night. And knowing how patriotic the U.S. is am surprised these people haven't been seriously injured, maimed or worse through their picketing, and thus forced to stop.
Personally I consider myself an Atheist, and don't understand why some people need to be told how to be a good person (I don't go to church or believe in God and I think I'm a nice, decent enough bloke), and cannot accept that as far as 'life' goes; this is it.
I'm not usually moved enough to post about stuff like this but I respect alot of the opinions on this board and were just interested to know what you thought about it, sorry if it's a bit heavy for a Monday.
