As evidenced in this weeks mail on Sunday. 'Army officer in uniform denied entry to Harrods following a remembrance day parade because he was in uniform - reason given, it may offend or overwhelm the customers to see a military uniform'.
About time our government got off their rears and started openly supporting our guys by slamming companies whenever they do stupid things like this.
