I have taken a personal decision that given my criticism of the Iraq war, in which I served, it would be hypocritical of me to accept it. Therefore, I can confirm I would decline this money.”
Well maybe if you'd have served in a more operationally focussed role over the previous 10 years that led to GW2 and had been closer to the high-level intel then you may have a different view? Instead, by apparently sitting behind a similarly 'sexed-up' CV on your website and making a political point about your own service in the RAF, then you are, in my
personal opinion, no better [edit] than Mr Bliar.
Furthermore, why your Party would support donations of such kind is beyond me. Why you did not take the money and gift it to the underclass, I don't know either - that would be true socialism. That is just another reason why the 'Champagne Socialism' of today's Labour Party will never, ever, enjoy my vote again since I voted for you in 1997.
