Armed Forces Day has certainly brought the hired killers onto the streets of #Brighton today. Hard to explain to my son!

The wonderful thing about being British, the wonderful thing about British armed forces is that these things are not taken to heart. So some pillock has made a stupid, uninformed statement. So what? I say this as a civilian. I have met him. I have drunk in the same pubs as him and I know that no one is really listening to him. Jumping up and down and calling for him to be broken on the wheel is just what he wants. Ignore the pillock!
Or ignore me. I don't really mind.

Demand his resignation? Why? Has he broken the law? No. He has merely exercised his freedom to express his personal view. That freedom is pretty fundamental to the reason why I am proud to serve in this military of ours.
If his constituents don't like what he says, then they can decide not to vote for him at the next election. But in my opinion, we should be very careful before we start implying that there is only one 'right' way to think!
Moreover, I have no problem with being clear on what I am prepared to do:
I WILL kill, when both necessary and legal, in the defence of this country and its people (and as I like to be paid, I guess that makes me hired too!)

AS Red line Entry says... Expressing his freedom of speech, now if he named and shamed that famous hired killers dog..... that would have been totally different
Armed Forces Day has certainly brought the hired killers onto the streets of #Brighton today.
This chap clearly hasn't heard the sheep, wolves, sheepdogs analogy.
Does anybody on this Thread remember that chap from Ruislip or somewhere close by. He went to Iraq and got himself captured by the nasty people. The guys from Credenhill then got him out unscathed.
ISTR that he was not in least bit grateful.
O-D

I object to the 'hired' bit.
I volunteered to defend the Country, during which killing may have been necessary. I was remunerated for my time & trouble. That's not a "hired killer"

No doubt a Green Govt would do without any Armed Services at all

One of my sisters lives in Brighton. Get her going on how the "green" councillors have fcked-up car parking etc. Nightmare apparently.
As for this prick, put it out of its misery (and ours).
