Sorry - I have only just found this thread and words fail me how the IWM could even consider charging veterans. The Director should have his OBE repossessed instantly.
I am also confused. Is the situation that the IWM has backed down from charging because they are happy to do the right thing or are the veteran's only being allowed in for free because of sponsorship by individuals ? If its the latter, then quite frankly, the situation stinks; if its the former, then yes its spin, but at least they have shown themselves, belatedly, to be capable of seeing sense and not afraid to do so publicly (unlike too many politicians, but that is another post) !
Also if it is the case that sponsorhip is the reason and more is needed, how can I contribute ?
