Managed to view a copy of said rag. It appears that our Dear Leader and some of his acolytes are pushing for the award of the VC to two Hereford types: the chap who lost a leg as a result of one a small fracas in a cave, and the other to an SNCO wounded in the leg (but not as seriously) for possibly the same incident (although hard to tell with the wonderful prose in the Sunday Express these days).
It seems that the fuss is that the political pressure is overlooking some of the criteria for the award of the VC (including the line from one un-named source that you have to stand at least a 90% chance of dying to win the VC - not quite sure I remember that being in the warrant, but...)
The other complaint implied seemed to be that if political pressure leads to the award of the VC to the two chaps in question, it may be that this forces the 'upgrading' of awards that might be made to others: for instance, if someone did something deemed more heroic than either of the chaps being pushed forward by Uncle Tony, they would have to be awarded the VC as well - thus instead of a couple of CGCs and several MCs, you could be in a situation where four or five VCs are awarded.
Of course, since this was in the Sunday Express, this is probably rubbish - but hope it answers the question, Jacko.
