Incoming - H4H etc, coming under fire.

I know that it isn't always possible, and that sometimes, a charity providing agile and flexible solutions helps where a G'ment Ministry can't. But a disproportionate amount of help does seem to be coming from the private sector these days - we don't seem to have any proper diversification.

Lots of care too, is going on a particular segment of injured servicemen and women. However worthy (as are they all) and however large that single sector is, I hope the rifleman who got PTSD in Northen Ireland in 1976 doesn't fall between the cracks. I wonder if the report will also lay down fire on the RBL.

Former Royal Marine Ben McBean, a double amputee and one of Help for Heroes' patrons, said that Help For Heroes and other military charities have been "getting cosy with the MoD".
