Arctic Convoys Medal

[Colin Hawken]

I read in the paper today Cameron has gone back on his promise of a seperate medal for the survivors of the arctic Convoys.The Atlantic Star is to cover both. Never mind the fact that they were drafted from the Atlantic to the Arctic.They had no choice in the matter. Guess we shouldn't have expected a politician to keep. One never has yet to my knowledge. Nothing changes.


Sorry,should read keep his promise.

Judging by the comments from some of the Arctic survivors,I think so. I rerad it on today's Daily Mail Website. It might still be on there. dailymail.co.uk

About the worst thing I have heard in a long time.

But lets face it.
The all say things when the are not in power.
It's about time the people in this fine country stood up and be counted.
They still do " Ah ! it doesn't effect me " Well you fools, if the arctic and MN sailors had that in their minds we would all be wearing black boots.
and we would not be here at all.
How stupid can the public be.
These men , we all are due them respect for saving this country.

Me? I don't vote for any of them as they are all the same brush in Westminster. Conmen.
It really makes me angray at the lies. and unanswewred questions. They just waffle their way through.
And get plenty of our cash in doining so. (off the soap box now Ronald)
As they say " If you half a mind to be in the house of commons then thats all you need."
I don't think they will get away with this rubbish.
