Restrict the press from Wootton Bassett during the repatriations

The press and media have turned what were and should be solemn and respectful occasions into a circus.

The people of Wooton Bassett began to turn out, to stand quietly in the High St to honour the soldiers who were killed in action, as their coffins were transported through the town on the way fron RAF Lyneham to Oxford. The media have turned it into a farce. They stand taking close up photographs and footage of the relatives of the fallen heros, then broadcast them around the world, making money from the grief of our Hero's Families. This is a despicable practice and we call upon the government and Wiltshire Police to restrict the press from the High St, allowing the repatriations to return to the respectful and sincere occasions they should be.

Secondly we call upon the collective media to show respect and withdraw from these occasions and not to continue to profit from the grief of those who have lost their loved ones.
