Military cadets ordered not to wear uniform when on the street

Decision comes after murder of army sergeant by two Muslims.

“MILITARY cadets have been ordered not to wear uniforms on the streets of East Lancashire over terrorism fears.

“Navy and army cadets in Blackburn, Accrington and Burnley have been told to either cover their uniform when walking to cadet detachments, or to change when they arrive.

“The move follows the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in south east London on Wednesday.

“Drummer Rigby, from 2nd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was wearing a Help for Heroes sweatshirt when he was hacked to death in a Woolwich street.”

(Those things labeled “If we do it, the terrorists have won”? This is one.)

“Marilyn Gregson, from Blackburn, whose 16-year-old son Hadyn is in the Blackburn Army Cadet Force said she was shocked when she was advised it was not safe for him to wear his uniform.

"She said: ‘My son was told not to wear his uniform on the streets but to change when he got there instead.

“’I am just stunned that it has come to this because it is such a sad state of affairs. While I am not sorry the cadets are taking precautions, you would think that cadets could wear their uniform with pride in their own country.’”

(Yes, you would think so, but as long as Muslims are allowed to dictate, look for even more-strenuous decisions.)
