2009 Programme

I didn't see last year's programme (can't bring myself to use the word 'awards'), and I wasn't aware of this year's event, until I selected the channel by chance. To me, it was so appallingly cringe-making that it was turned off after just a few minutes. I hear the views that money was raised for Help the Heroes and that it raised public awareness, but do our Royals, CDS, SofS and all of those other luminaries who attended really need such a tacky platform to (a)support a cause which MoD itself should be responsible for, and (b)parade our fine troops in such a demeaning way? Streuth.
