The curbs were introduced almost 30 years ago during the IRA’s bombing campaign on mainland Britain when military personnel were warned not to wear uniforms off duty
Complete and utter 8ollocks.... I used to "hitch" from Patrington [near Hull] to Manchester, in 1967...we were then told "No Uniform" [in early 1968]...So it is
40 years ago, that the "ban" was slapped down.
BTW, my son is a serving Police Officer.......The "pubic" aren't encouraged to give
him a cheer......
