Of Parades and Freedom

Right about now, the Royal Anglian Regiment, back from Afghanistan, will be exercising its Freedom of the City of Norwich by means of a parade. Jolly good. Now let all our Armed Forces "exercise the freedom" of Britain by parading through the streets having brought themselves back from Afghanistan and Iraq.

And let the Political Class that sent them there, to whom they have not sworn allegiance (but rather to the Crown, i.e., to our ancient liberties) come tumbling down as a result, taking with it its ID cards, its prolonged detention without charge, and all the rest of its assaults on the very things that our soldiers, sailors and airmen have sworn to defend.
