Might I just say this, I left the service several years ago now, and I am now the head of a medium-sized business in the North East. As the owner of that business, if any of my staff are injured (or God forbid killed) whilst they are on my premises, it is myself who is responsible, no one else.
I fail to see how a government that enforces these laws upon industry is not liable for them themselves, for the people who they employ, namely service men and women.
Tourist, I understand your point of view, but I feel that in this case it is wrong Sir, sorry.
Chappie, you have my heartfelt condolences at your tragic loss. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that your friends and family were highly thought of, loved and respected by all.
Yours Aye
The Winco
