In theory I have no problem with the UKNDA, their principles are sound. And you are correct, £12 is a small amount to pay to be supoorted in a time of need, or indeed to know that others around me may be supported at such a time.
However I still fail to see what support they are offering. They're ten commandments, whilst at first glance appear to be exactly the qualities one would expect from a military 'union', on closer inspection they appear to be providing a, very detailed I must admit, account of the short-falls within HM Armed Forces along with a list of management/leadership 'buzz' words.
The day the UKNDA are
and
enough to make me sit up and say, 'well-done lads' for the first time, is the day I will quite gladly sign a cheque.
Untill then, I will watch with mixed feelings of admiration and scepticism.
