I AM sick and tired of reading about and watching coverage on the news about the peace protesters.

Yes, we have in Britain a democratic society, and do have the right to protest.

Do they not realise that the war has already started?

Those brave men and women are a long way from home, they need to know that the ordinary Joe Public is 100 per cent behind them.

They have gone to Iraq to liberate the Iraqi people from an awful dictator who has killed thousands of his own people, and get rid of a regime that we as British people could not contemplate.

The British and American soldiers, sailors and RAF personnel will do what is required of them, as all those in the Armed Forces do.

So stop protesting and get behind these brave men and women who have gone to war for Queen and country. We need an army, air force and navy. And, at the moment, they need to know we are behind them.
