If it's a reaction to something British military have done in their country of origin, I suspect the story have two subjective sides. As for the charity runners, were the stone throwing offenders not punished because no one did anything, or because lack of evidence or what? That part needs some clarification, methinks.
Overall, I blame the fear mongering media more than anything else, for this shift in voting which is a trend pretty much all over Europe right now.

If you went to Pakistan and started burning the Quran in the street,What d'you think would happen to you?I bet it would be more than a £50 fine.When our authorities are soft on this kind of thing,People see the double standards and rebel against it,Hence UKIP doing well for themselves.Jimrod is right.
