Marek. I have just had a look on ARRSE myself. This is what one soldier posted (this being one of the less rude to him...). This though pretty well sums up the Forces view of what many of them call the ZANU NL Government.

All we got was "we're the best in the world" - cue applause - BUT what gripped me big time was the large number of apparatchiks who refused to applaud and sat there motionless with their hands in their laps. Looking at the footage, it seemed like large numbers of Labour party members refused the chance to acknowledge the armed forces - says it all really.
My bold - And you're surprised about this?? Our Armed Forces are anathema to the labour party. Our Forces stand for Duty, Professionalism, Conscience, everything nulab is not!
In 1997 this gubberment took over one of the healthiest of Treasurys. It then acted like kids in a sweetshop and left us bankrupt and scupperd! So cyclops answer? He has announced in the last few days that:
1. All children under 2 will get free child care
2. Everyone under the age of 26 will get free theatre tickets
3. £700 to every family with children to pay for an internet connection
At a cost of ?zillions? Yet our Armed forces struggle on with lack of equipment, low pay, and zilch aftercare for those physically and mentally injured!
There was huge applause at Twickers on Saturday when told that the Sponers of the Match had covered costs so that every penny we paid for tickets went to H4H. Where's cyclops response? Will he match we was raised?? Can pigs fly?

It is certainly an education reading the much more forthrightly expressed views of this Government expressed on ARRSE!!!!
