HI EVERY ONE THIS WAS IN THE LOCAL PAPER TODAY. HOPE EVERY ONE WELL ALL THE BEST BILL. BE GOOD .Veterans medal claim to be heard in parliament - East Hampshire - The News

Attempting to both further and assist the message posted by Bill:

MoD civil servants have refused to acknowledge the veterans’ claims.

The suits argue the 66,500 men who braved a sub-zero gauntlet of Nazi U-boats and warplanes were recognised with the Atlantic Star. But that medal was for a separate campaign 800 miles away from the freezing Arctic where 3,000 British sailors lost their lives trying to supply the Soviet Union with enough arms to repel Hitler’s invading forces.

The Arctic veterans have long been ignored but the Tory party in opposition promised them a medal.

However, since the coalition government was formed in June 2010, the veterans have faced a series of knock-backs. Firstly, instead of awarding the medal, Mr Cameron ordered the Ministry of Defence to review the medals system.

An email was sent to(the link provided) the crass gentleman last night, reminding him of the value of the Merchant Navy in enabling him to use English as his mother tongue and the debt he owes the 35,000 lost souls, a copy was also sent to the Daily Mail. An automated reply was received from the crass gentleman this morning, lets see if I get a personal response.


If we could get all on site to send a simple message to the link kindly supplied by Mel, on the lines of

Subject Arctic Medal, message "Shame on you" it may make him realise the anger he has stirred

Just a thought

I have received a reply from Mr Robothan, saying he has been misquoted and also sending me a copy of his speech and proceedings from Hansard. Having read the Hansard extract it does nothing to dispel my opinion that the man is still crass.

[Mel Spence]

There is to be an independent review. I have been assured that I will recieve the details of the review, once it has been setup. There is as yet, neither Terms of reference nor a chair in place. I feel very strongly that minister has very clearly made up his mind, and that all responsibility for this review should be given to another minister.

I'll post the review group details here, once i receive them

Cheers

The more I read of events in UK the more I begin to understand what is now so wrong with the country, no national pride.
First it was an attempt to hold a p15s up onTower Green by the MN memorial, now the refusal to award medasl to more than worthy recipients.
The country is goinmg to hell in a hand basket in a big rush.
