SAVE THE RED ARROWS
The
Red Arrows aerobatic squadron of the Royal Air Force brings huge pride and international prestige to the UK, but the Treasury bean-counters in our beloved Government want to axe the Reds to save a couple of shillings.
The personnel, pilots and aircraft of the squadron are all capable of deployment elsewhere in the RAF, so the money really saved would be peanuts.
Cynics might observe that the move is a covert campaign to expunge from the public mind a potent and highly visible symbol of the very best of the Royal Air Force as an independent Air Arm of a United Kingdom giving up its identity to Europe...
10 Downing Street website has an
online petition (which is seldom mentioned to the public in the hope that it will be overlooked).
Please sign it. Don't let the b*stards get away with this.
Mods, any chance that this can have "sticky status" for a while?
