STOP...Regardless if they were from, or if he said, council estates, as I hail from who gives a toss...Every person stepping on or off that C17 should be respected and feel proud..infact every person in our Armed Forces...I coundn't give a damn of his/her back ground...
Be it a good/bad growing up in the estate they have made a choice to join the Armed Forces and fight for Queen and Country and be in constant harms way.
If You or I were in sh!t street I now know somebody out there who I don't even know would move heaven and earth to reach me ...fix me...attempt to keep me alive to see my family but....
most important than all of the above........ they will bring me home!
