“I believe an Armed Forces Day would be welcome and supported by the military. It is a marvellous idea.” General Lord Guthrie, Former Chief of the Defence. What would have been a good idea was for this old sycophant to oppose the imposition of Acts of Parliament that stole pensions from former regular soldiers.

“My experience is that people are increasingly proud of their forces yet the gulf between soldiers and the civilian is still too wide. Patrick Mercer MP. So why are the disrespected Armed Forces so under strength? Because they are like Mushroom Farmers?

Terror threat to UK 'is growing' You do not have to read about it. Muslims in Preston shoot from a car and the reports do not mention their ethnicity. Why not? Ten years ago I wrote to my MP and told him of the immigrants reportedly arming themselves in the Midlands regions; a precursor for the Jihad?

'Thousands' pose terror threat Thousands of WHAT? British Legion members? There are at least 2,000 people in the UK who pose a threat to national security because of their support for terrorism, the head of MI5 has said. Jonathan Evans said there had been a rise of 400 since November 2006. Thirty years of IRA terrorism because the politicians would not allow the Armed Forces to take on the terrorist. The only time Londonderry was quiet was when 4^th Field Regiment RA arrived with their heavy guns. That speaks volumes.

Gran in Tesco boss planning war It’s the best thing to come out of Liverpool since my Great Aunt Mary. No doubt the Tesco tycoon has numerous other homes in Israel and some place they call Off Shore.

Pictures that should shame us all reveal the shabby way Britain treats its fallen heroes The Mail is only a week late with this story, but it is worth revisiting. YouTube does it to music and it really is moving. My sisters’ children are now Canadian and reflect the pride that was once the reserve of us Brits. As long as the media keeps calling Muslim terrorist British there will never be any pride left in this sick old country.

Outrage over Alan Yentob's £27,000 BBC expenses claim... including a £120 cake If his masters can do it, why not? When the only people held to account are the aged and disadvantaged, then you get what you vote for.

Fearless Tory becomes first MP to call for Speaker to quit Another non story. In Blackpool you cannot get the Conservatives to participate in political debate. When a constituent once asked about corruption in political places, the Chairman was heard to reply, “how much is a cuppa tea?” The same geriatric had not remembered to tell a running mate that a £200 election donation had been received from a prominent benefactor. The Treasurer resigned before it became a criminal matter. The worst Speaker in living memory is safe whilst local Conservatives kowtow to Central Office
