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.
