DIDO.1 22,477 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 He spent a lot of time with a couple of hunt terrier men, and a couple of farm lads, digging and getting stuck into all sorts. Not one of those lads betrayed his confidence. And they could have, and still could, go to the newspapers and get some much needed money for selling their story....but they didn't. ..... Perhaps that's the difference in class. By that I mean the little ginger cnut has none. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also believe that all the hundreds and hundreds of ex forces charities should be combined into one national charity so as to reduce the amount of administration costs associated with running all these individual charities. But again that's never going to happen, This world is far from perfect and it sure as hell isn't fair but you have to get by with what's out there at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough find them a home that they can rent or buy if they so wish but give them a house,Really?If theyve served for 6years theyve had a constant wage.If they want a house buy or rent one like anybody else has to.At the end of the day they chose that job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Find them a home, Really, My story, medically discharged, applied to the council for housing, 3 months later the MOD took us to court to obtain an eviction notice on our married quarter, still nothing from the council, couldn't private rent as had no job or at that time no prospect of getting a job. They made Me the Mrs and our lad In effect Homeless for about 4 months. This had to be done otherwise the council would have done even less than they did do. The Armed Forces Covenant was meant to address this but the reality is its not worth the paper its written on. The local council here was selling houses to other housing associations for £1, Can not see any reason why they couldn't have been given to ex forces myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
