Why do you lot suddenly think it is big and clever to try and overload the supply chain into a operational theatre? Are you thinking that with enough shoe boxes filled with tat and sweets we can overthrow the government and suddenly get a shiny new fleet of AT dedicated to BFPO?
Sorry, but there are quite a few of the genpub who
do actually support the UK Armed Forces serving in the desert $hitholes to which they've been sent by this appalling excuse for a government.
If some schoolkids get involved in an 'adopt a squaddie' idea - and want to send out some toothpaste, razor blades and tinned sweets to 'An unknown soldier', then 'the system' should damn well offer facilitation and thanks, not just bleat that they don't have the space to send such gifts out to theatre.

How very rude and ungrateful. I hope no-one involved with charitable efforts reads such an unpleasant comment.
