It just beggars belief that we have to do this. But with at least two key ministers in the MoD who are essentially not supportive of the Services (Des Browne being the most 'anti', Derek Twigg being another), what chance is there for those who need support having done their bit as their part of that Covenant?

Veterans
The more I read about this kind of thing - and it is becoming more regular by the day - then the more angry, frustrated and sh*t upon I feel.
I think it is time for all veterans to get together, pay a visit to our so-called 'masters' in London, and let them know just how used and prostituted we feel. I have no doubt that the support we would elicit from the general public would be phenomenal, and in the present climate would generate a backlash this government would be ill advised to ignore.
I know this is not normally our way, and I hesitated before making this suggestion, but situations such as this can only be ignored for so long.
Any views or potential participants ? Tony

BROKEN COVENANT
For those who have yet to sign, may I please remind them that fight4thepjm campaign
has been wholly supported by the RBL and the Scottish RBL= Nationally. I believe that
we should stand by them in their very worthwhile and important campaign and give them
our total support.
