Brilliant this Guardsman should get a medal for issuing out some respect and discipline back into this country. It is a certainty that our politicians/law will not, they will most likely hand over thousands of pounds of our cash in compansation to this disrespectful individual.
And yes, before those with a chip on their shoulder accuse me of being a racist, I can't help the fact that he also happens to be a foreigner. Who incidently would not dare to mimic one of his own countries soldiers.

I haven't got a chip on my shoulder and I think you're a racist. The fact that you even mention the race of the tourist concerned despite any relevance simply underlines your continuing fetishisation of race.
Anyway, the soldier is not supposed to leave his post unless there is a threat to the Royal Family. There was clearly no threat to the Royal Family caused by some ******** taking the mickey out of his march.
The soldier therefore disobeyed orders and is not suitable for doing the important job to which he has been assigned. His is a disgrace to his unit and I am surprised that someone so passionately in favour of the troops would support someone wilfully disobeying a lawful order.

Touched a nerve did I Waldo?

It is not my continuing fetishisation of race, it is others such as you. That is the reason I outlined the fact that he was a foreigner, because I knew that if I hadn't someone like you would have nit-picked my post, and accused me once again of picking on foreigners, or being a racist.
Seems you proved me right and the only way to escape this endless name calling, is to not criticise people if they happen to be foreign, that does of course narrow the field somewhat.
Oh! dear here I go again criticising you, and I don't even know your ethnicity.
Incidently a Guardsman has every right to un-slope his weapon and challenge any threat to his person or his fellow Guardsmen, even if it means breaking ranks at times.

I have never answered one of your posts before,and never will again after this,because you are as much of an idiot as the guardsman,
They are supposed to be trained to keep their cool,both in peacetime and more importantly wartime situations.
This preat obviously coould not do either.
He deserves any punishment he gets.
I was in the Army before/during/after WW2,and if we had acted in this way we probably wouldn't have won the war.
Sadly the standard of recruits and Army training has now reached an all time low,and this is the sort of rubbish we end up with.
When a soldier (who is supposed to be disciplined) lashes out a tourist standards have reached a pretty bad level.
PS:~
I have just asked a friend (from Chelsea Barracks) to look at the pictures,and he tells me it is a "set up" as that part of The Mall is nowhere near St James Palace,and the soldier is not in correct uniform.
Hmm, The Daily Mail lies again.

Hence mocking.
Mind you, I must respond to this bit of feeble gibberish from theoldracist:
"Incidently a Guardsman has every right to un-slope his weapon and challenge any threat to his person or his fellow Guardsmen, even if it means breaking ranks at times. "
Threatened? Threatened..? Oh diddums... "A man is doin bad impressions of my walk... waaahhh! waaahh! I'm in mortal peril..."
How *very* threatening.
Let's hope he doesn't get anyone taking the mick out of his hat, otherwise he'd be be so terrified he'd be forced to shoot them.
Perhaps you should ask why his superiors are seeking to have words if his behaviour is as acceptable as you seem to think.
He lost his rag and behaved unprofessionally; just accept it.
Threatened my a-hole.

Bl**dy hell it's not half term already is it?

Does it really? Does it? Does it? Hmmm? Does it? Does it?
Leave him Waldo, he's not worf it!

A few prime examples of unintelligent postings.

I do love this story though - sounds really like a couple of blokes have hired some fancy dress and taken all the tabloids (and a few on here) for a ride!
Blimey! jake I know that these days it is quite easy to get your hands on a gun, but a SA-80???????
I don't think many fancy dress outlets stock these.
Even if they did get their hands on one, do you seriously think they could march down the street with one over their shoulder, without being surrounded with an Arned Police Unit?
Some real intelligent thinking must have taken place on your part before you reached your conclusions on this matter.
