Such fairy tales

Who is telling the truth, and who is telling little white lies?

 

I am getting letters from so called friends, friends, you should see them run when I approach them.

My so called MP has been caught out, and now is saying what a super job he has done.
 

Last year he had the nerve to tell me of all people about injured service personal, and what injuries they had injured, and how he had been on the front line.  Some how I can not see the senior officer on the ground letting them out of the camp, it would be mayhem.

By the time I had finished with him he run so fast that my friends were in fits of laughing, well what an ass.

I am now getting letters saying dear friend, do I need to tell you what I have done with them.

 

It is a good job that a certain contender for number 10 was not near me when he had the nerve to say we had no call to express the saying  WE DID WIN THE War. I should know I witnessed the Fire of London, when we had bombs and V2rockets plus Doodlebugs, so young man you have never had little to eat or have to wear second hand clothes, that was due to rations on all things.

We lost a lot of families and school friends.

Time does not heal the dread and fear.
 
 

You sir have never given time, or to serve this once Great country you don't know the meaning.

If only politicians would keep out of the NHS and let the medical and nursing staff run them, do away with all the so call managers, who have no idea what the meaning of care is, just look at the staffing of incomers who can not speak English, so look out for death by care.

 

We need somebody to govern this country, which can make important decisions for the good of this planet. And have the guts to tell us the truth about the economy, are we heading like Greece, we should be asking this question.
Please do not be fooled, by the new boy on the block.

Now She wants £ half a million

WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THE UP KEEP OF AN EX FEMALE SERVICE Lance Cpl.

 

 

When one joins the Army you are told in no uncertain way that you serve the Queen and country.

I agree with the former senior officer in that this Lance Cpl has betrayed all women soldiers who believe in duty.

 

In this day and age there is no excuse for being pregnant, it just show the total disregard this young women had for the service.

Now claiming a massive sum of money, that other service personal who have received injuries do not get this amount.  I could say a lot about this but it would not be polite.

She should not get a penny, as the Army had offered her choice postings with care provided, and she turned it down.

 

It was her choice to have a child, The Army is not a child minding service, we are a fighting force, and that is what these civilians understand.

She left the army and that should be the end, she had a choice and she had a child, where is the father?  I suppose she is claiming all the benefits on offer.

 

She has done such a disservice to the Army, should we turn away all females of child bearing age, think of that young service women who was awarded the MC, if she had not had the guts to go to the aid of an injured soldier he would have most likely have died.

This person left the army her choice so there should be no compensation.

How much has she received from the news papers for her story and picture?

Do not touch me my skin split

Please do not touch me my skin may split.

 

I have just been reading about two Royal Marines who have been punished for hitting a Taliban suspect with a size ten wellington boot, but this so called person who was in the act of planting a bomb.

 

I am just wondering what planet I am on for gods sake, why not give a reprimand.

 

Question why did the marines who were said to be in the tent not show them selves when a senior officer and NCO came into the tent?

 

If a prisoner is loose not cuffed in a tent what would you think, it was said he was standing what to eat his food,  how far were the marines who were in the said tent from this man, sorry we may not no the whole storey, his injuries were not serious.

If I had just lost three colleagues who were blown up by IED, just think, what this so called Taliban fighter was caught doing.

 

Have we brought to justice anybody who has killed or injured our own service personal, I think you will find that is a big NO.?

What has this so called justice shown to the world, not this cruel justice of loosing a pension and lives destroyed?

 

Question you should be asking was this a political statement to the Americans!

Guess what he was let go by the Afghans and can not be found, what that tells you.

 

Nursing Uniforms.

We have had a lot of press reports of a nurse here in Exeter who has lost her case, in wearing a cross around her neck.

To-day I am reading that Muslims and Sikhs are exempt from the strict dress codes to prevent cross infection, my question WHY.
 

I can't stand to see sloppy dress and any form of jewellery when attending patients.

When attending a patient how that nurses carry out duties like washing a patient when she has her sleeves down, or don't nurses wash patients any more, or carry out other personal duties on patients.

Just think of a patient who is distressed due to their medical condition, then grabs at the nurse and pulls on their chains bangles, what would the hospital do sue the patient for distressing their staff.

Questions need to be asked

Wounded troops'£40m Charity boost.

 

 

Question for you Sunday morning readers, what happened to the military hospitals?  In other words were they sold off for housing land so what has happened to the money?

Why am I asking these questions I am just reading that troops wounded in the line of duty received a £40million boost from military charities last night?

If you remember in one of my last letters I said we were holding two events to raise money for military charities.  Tell me what would have happened if the injured had not got up and worked hard like doing the marathon or climbing mountains to raise money for others.

They talk about building  centres for the rehabilitation units if so on what ground who owns that ground, what did I say about military hospitals yes they were on Government  owned land just give it a little thought, and you hear some chancellor rubbing his or her hands.

When you think of all those MPs and their nest eggs, that money could have gone to the troops.

That is another thing you ask that all embracing person standing on your door step.  Oh dear I am lumbering you with so many questions to ask but you need to know where the money is going, your hard earned money.

It just shows how much this government cared about the troops, just think of one person who is a millionaire ++ from some oil work, remember what I said be for about becoming rich become an MP.

 

I will have a bear called Sgt Braille working with me for the August and September shows, this bear with the other 12 all wear cap badges of the regiments and Corps.

I will have the honour of having the cap badge of the Royal Engineers with Sgt Braille, he will have a large bucket with him to raise money so that injured service personal can have a holiday and families who have lost husbands can be looked after as well.

I will have to keep a record of his tour with us so camera to hand I might just get you if you come to our shows.
