But even though it might be breaking the law, tell the women to have some kind weapon on or by them, because if anything did kick off ,atleast the might to be able to protect them selves, if left to law could be to late.

Soldiers and their family's are getting angrier and angrier by this though shall not be seen or heard nonsense that is coming down from the powers at the top but they are powerless to do anything about it mate ... The serving soldier as has been seen will be pulled in and disciplined if he disagrees or voices his concern its a case of do as your told simple ... And if an army wife that's living in a married quarter makes to much of a fuss then the head shed can remove the right to occupy from that family so basically they get kicked out of that house because his wife is deemed a trouble maker ..... It's one of the few things that I definitely don't miss about the army ... I have never been one for biting my lip and it got me known as a non team player amongst the officers ..... Infact my lack of tact many years ago with a young officer who had fukced up came back to bite me on my ass when I was passed over for a promotion when the young officer came back as my commanding officer ..... However had it happened all over again I would have still dragged him around the corner by his chin strap and had a wee word with him ............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well my missus for one whent out this morning wearing her hoodie and wearing it proud ........... With the cowardly fecks hiding in every gutter now i can understand why they would ask the Lasses to be more careful and better protect themselves from the dross that crawls from the gutters.Its a sad reflection of our society that they even need to ask for such drastic actions.Until the politicians and the leading lights in the policeforce grow some and take necessary steps to clear the gutters,then such requests will become the norm,don,t expect much change from the Politicians or the Police,they,ve lost the plot now and are more interested in pacifying the muslim gutter snipes than bringing them to task. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaraCroft 863 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Got that email too - I was gutted. I had been proud of what we have done, and although I am certainly not a "loud in your face" type, I had thought we were making a difference. Seems not. Haven't let OH know, he would be furious.
