    I was speaking to an ex serviceman who is also a biker the other week and he was saying that there is going to be a Rally in England by Ex servicemen (although he said anyone is welcome to join) at the Houses of parliament and also another rally at the Scottish parliament in support of soldier F but i can't find any info online about it,the only thing i could find was the rally in Belfast.
    Does anyone know of the rallies that are planned?
    This is info on the one in Ireland

    This allows for the tail enders to get to London in time for 1pm (even if the front riders get therer 20 or so minutes earlier)

    Immunity for soldiers who worked in Northern Ireland.

    Do not prosecute the military for its work in Northern Ireland. Our military should be excused all criminal investigations after a period of time.

    Makes perfect sense to be a closed group in order to prevent trolls and the like from joining. It just allows them to vet those people requesting to join first :cool::cool:

    I don't think you have to register for the event, I got the impression when speaking to the ex serviceman that anyone can turn up and join them..it's easy for the majority of us Scots as the Scottish parliament in Edinburgh is not far from anywhere in Scotland,it's not quite so easy for English guys if it's in London

    31 years ago , a baying republican mob ripped two soldiers from their car, beat them senseless and then handed them over to the IRA to be executed like dogs and dumped on waste ground.

    Two men, Alex Murphy and Harry Maguire, were found guilty of the murder of the corporals. They were jailed for life in 1989, with a recommendation of a minimum 25 years.

    Murphy received a further 83 years, and Maguire 79 years, for bodily harm, falsely imprisoning the soldiers, and possessing a gun and ammunition.....They were released under the good Friday agreement after 9 years with a full pardon....

    Now the likes of Jeremy Corbyn wants our soldiers tried for doing the job they were sent to do.

    It's SICK

    It also prevents people expressing a different opinion.

    Not really an issue as this is just a site to organise a bikers protest in support of Soldier F. If you disagree, don't apply to join :rolleyes::rolleyes:
