I can understand the sentiment from the member of staff, and am sure it was done in good faith, following alleged previous "incidents" involving other members of the public and people in uniform. However, such a suggestion shouldn't and wouldn't have to be made if we lived in a country where we actually had universal respect and admiration for the people who defend our rights and freedoms. It's part of a wider disgraceful PC culture which should not be allowed to overcome common sense and decency.

I'm with you there Jez. I'd invest in one too if it allowed me to be moved away from the various scumbags you find hogging A&E with their drink/drug/violence related problems, draining the system. But I agree with quids it's the diversity training which is at fault here, a total lack of common sense. When I was younger people would actively stop a car or bus etc to give a person in the armed forces thumbing a lift. The level of respect was immense, and now it appears that has flipped on its head.

Didn't realise defence cuts had hit so hard.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
