Chutley,

“It is a socially and morally bankrupt country”

Oh please! Take your head out of the Daily Mail and have a look around you at what is happening in the real world………………..

The many young men and women who are volunteering, serving, fighting and sacrificing life and limb in Afghanistan and Iraq ARE of this country!

The people lining the streets in Wooton Bassett when the coffins of those who have paid the ultimate price return ARE of this country.

The people who turn out to line the streets up and down the country to thank and applaud returning units ARE of this country.

The people who joined in events across the country but especially in London and Blackpool to celebrate Veterans Day today ARE of this country.

The ordinary people who were honoured and recognized for their gallantry and bravery in London on 7/7 ARE of this country.

The many MANY volunteer organizations across the land from St. Johns Ambulance to the RNLI who sacrifice their time in service of others for no monetary reward are staffed by people who ARE of this country.

A socially and morally bankrupt country? Jeezzzzzzzzzzz……………………..
