thanks for the heads up. i'm afraid the wobbly old bird in the interview was me, shame the ability to finish my sentence had escaped me!
it beggars belief the reasons put forward for not giving the money. can't see the reasons why not. the government handed out the funds so that the families involved in the deep cut barracks case could have representation. this i guess because the government knew they could weather the storm of a public outcry with the nothing to do with me guv stance. this, however, would really show them up and of course they are not going to participate in the process that will personally cook up it's own s*** storm! the MoD have representation with a senior barrister, therefore showing that they have concern about their stance. it would seem the only interests being met and served are the governments own and not that of the deceased crew, serving members and us the families left behind.
so, if you can help in any way, i'd appreciate it.
