Serving soldiers from the Royal Corps of Signals and the Parachute Regiment have joined the protest in Parliament Square against the war in Afghanistan. Boris Johnson has described the sight of the soldiers and supporters as "mess and squalor" and MPs have called the protest, including the soldiers, as a "national disgrace". The protest camp is against the war in Afghanistan but respects troops.



We respect our soldiers unlike Boris Johnson. Boris Johns has the gall to call the Democacry camp including soldiers as mess and squalor. MPs have the audacity to call the protesters including soldiers as a national disgrace.
We have an answer to Boris and the MPs who dare to say such things about our soldiers and the protesters.

Boris and the MPs, YOU go to Afghistan and Iraq to risk your lives in the place of the soldiers. How DARE you call the sight of our soldiers and their supporters as "mess and squalor" and a "national disgrace". Soldiers in and out of uniform have gone to Democracy Village in Parliament Square and said that they appreciate what the protesters are doing for them and that the protest camp against the war has support from all over the country, from serving soldiers and from "right wing Tory voters" among others.

If anything is a national disgrace it is the war. Mess and squalor are the conditions that soldiers are expected to survive in.

We are against the war and we respect and support our soldiers. Go to Democracy Village in Parliament Square and support them.
