Hear Hear.

And that’s why 204 British Soldiers have made the solemn journey back through Wootton Bassett. To support an oppressive regime with archaic laws which have no place in the modern world.

Well said.

If this is why the forces are there, it is simply not a good enough reason and it is time to leave.

I like the suggestion there to make it a separate criminal act to desecrate a war memorial, then again if found and sentenced to say community service in the park restoring the damage, the rights of the *********** who did it would be infringed! Or H&S wouldn’t allow it……

Things like this really bring out the Daily Mail reader in me and just go into a severe rant.

nowadays …when I were a lad,shops had closing times and Petrol Stations sold car fuel and not much else…we were (mostly) very skinny and always outdoors .

I’ll see that and raise you half day closing on Thursdays…. I remember that well and I’m (only) 43.

In response to the original post, the soldiers I’ve seen marching at the welcome home parades seem to look Ok and fit enough. Tabloid tale, no more, no less…

This did

I’m not advocating the law of the jungle and don’t deny she is at risk from reprisal when she comes out, but personal trainer etc? Come on……

Educate her by all means, but freebies like that – thats offensive….

Just about sums up the world today, but oddly enough I bet it wouldn’t get air play if released as it would offend, when in truth it comments on pretty much all religions and how people use them.

belting song though….

‘Cannibalism’ actually.

And I wish I hadn’t read that story.

Same goes, I then followed the link here

words fail me, they utterly fail me…. what on earth is the world coming to if this passes as entertainment !?

Wyvernfan & Dog House Ldr, I share your views and if you don’t already have a copy, I can recommend that you take a look at “the Turret Fighters” in the Crowood Series.

Some very detailed breakdowns on missions, losses etc and a genuine view (IMO) of the “Other side” of the discussion about the concept, an interesting chapter on the Roc as well. It mentions Rocs being painted in Finnish markings ready for shipment to fight the Russians, interesting !

I look forward to seeing the RAF Defiant back, a worthy memorial that deserves its place in the national collection.

The Rock, it just rocks

Ok, F-18’s in USAF markings etc etc, but two hours of noise, explosions, loud music dodgy plot and of course, the best Bond ever still showing he has what it takes. Bayhem as Daz would say….
