Is it just me...or is it quite disgusting that the lads unfortunately killed today in Helmand, appeared to be somewhat sidelined by the Beeb. I know this has been dealt with on "the prune" before, but really, what the 'ell is going on when todays military (and I include all 3 services) are EXPECTED, on ever-tighter budgets and personnel, to fight abroad, and are barged off the evening news to fifth position; given less than 30 seconds coverage, when the main focus seems to be TESCO, Morrisons or ASDA "doing" us a few pence on a bit of cheese, or a pint, sorry half litre, of milk...

Come on.

What is going on.

Help.
