RBL Poppy Appeal
I agree, Almost_done. The RBL has taken on a new invigorated image this year, IMHO. Instead of clinging to its establishment past, it has taken head-on this dysfunctional, incompetent and uncaring (for the armed forces family) government. By indicting it for turning its back on the Military Covenant it has used the full weight of its moral authority to shame this shameless administration and make a stand for the almost invisible (to the civilian population) maimed and bereaved of Bliars Wars. All power to its elbow, and a clarion call to the other service charities who have kept their heads below the parapet. In this the RAFA has emulated its parent service to a "T", both of them need to take a lead from the RBL, and the Army, and speak out on behalf of those that they are responsible for. Good luck with the Appeal this year RBL, you deserve it to be the best ever!
