A DUTY TO OUR MEN

Daily Mail

COMMENT

[Tuesday, July 3,2007]

TONY BLAIR committed British troops to more wars than any Prime Minister since the Second World War -from Kosovo and Sierra Leone to Afghanistan and Iraq.

In each theatre, our overstretched serviceman rose to every new and he made of them with exemplary courage.

AND HOW DID MR BLAIR REPAY THEM?

For ten years, he put soldiers' lives at risk for want of basic equipment, allowed the wounded to endure third-class treatment on general wards and neglected servicemen's wives and children in sub-standard housing.

MEANWHILE

Our troops' workloads grew heavier, their overseas deployments more frequent and their opportunities to see their families increasingly rare.

NO WONDER SO MANY HAVE

HAD ENOUGH

The all-party Public Accounts Committee says the number of personnel leaving some sections of the

ARMED FORCES

EARLY

HAS

SOARED

-to a ten-year peak , leaving acute shortages of manpower.

And as more servicemen leave, of course the pressure on those remain.

In the damning words of committee chairman Edward Leigh:

'The MoD has been relying for too long on the goodwill and courageous spirit of our servicemen and women to compensate for the increasing shortages of personnel.'

The new Prime Minister cannot allow this national disgrace to continue.

[Loosen the purse-strings and let the mistakes of the past be rectified without delay .For once show us that you know how to treat no doubt the bravest and most loyal fighting service in the world which has not deserved the barbarous treatment of neglect of vital equipment-accommodation and military medical care which must be extended for as long as needed.]

Whatever he decides about our deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan Gordon Brown must ensure that our troops have the man-power, equipment and back-up they so desperately NEED.

So You Want Out Of The EU

THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE

RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout

Details from petition creator

With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were given

DUAL CITIZENSHIP

-both

EUROPEAN and BRITISH

The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.

The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with

BRITISH DOCUMENTATION

-only such as British (not EU) passports, driving licences and other national documents.

EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who

HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

[PETITION OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 08]

Let the people speak!
