I thought this was a good programme, the only hiccup I spotted was when he walked into the hospital to speak to the Army Officer, who was actually RAF (credibility down the pan and all that).

Well done beeb for a good effort on the documentary. Shame about the little slip up regarding the Army/RAF doc. 
PR sort was incredible.
I think the statue would translate really well into a lapel type badge that could be purchsed, along the same lines as a poppy, but all year round. This would keep it in the public eye and put funds into the area where they are really needed; in supporting OUR men and women who have for whatever reason been injured whilst serving in the forces.
Perhaps the BL could pick up on it, the government obviously haven't got the will or backbone to support them and I think there would be enough support from 'Joe Public' to make it a worthwhile venture.
Suggest bright red to really get it noticed - like the poppy.

Didn't/Couldn't see the programme mentioned. However regarding Al Fayeds and Harrods treatment of servicemen in uniform. When I was deployed to Bosnia to work as liaison with some very fine Army chaps we were given half a dozen cans each of Harrods beer and some other snacks and goodies all free gatis from Harrods. Also I know of some army ex-rankers that were employed by Harrods in their security dept. It appears that whilst Al Fayed was often seen as a hard nosed task master who would have loved to sack people on the spot for minor offences he went out of his way to employ servicemen and the majority had loads of praise for their conditions and treatment. Has this changed - doesn't he employ ex-servicemen anymore - if he does why aren't they speaking up?

I have just had an e-mail from '10 Downing Street' stating that they have received my signature on the petition.
Just a thought, I bet the politicians who were sadly injured in the Grand Hotel Brighton bombing did not get abandoned by the government.
