Send Backstabbing Brown Your Uniform

My jaw dropped when I read the latest MoD stab-in-the-back in the Sunday Times.

The MoD is appealing against compensation rulings, seeking to reduce payments to wounded and injured veterans by up to 70%.


The MoD is arguing that post-injury surgical complications are not their responsibility.


Apparently it is also the responsibility of war wounded to buy their own prosthetic limbs in civilian life.

Something snapped in my mind today. I dug out my RAF dress uniform and I am packaging it to send to Downing Street. A photograph is below....I'll upload more once it has been sent.

If, like me, you can take no more, then send Brown your uniform.

If you are serving in the Armed Forces, it is probably best to send a spare.


If, like me, you are retired then this may be a hard decision. It is a link to the past, I wore it at my commissioning parade and on formal occasions afterwards. I hoped to hand it on to my children but this will not now be the case.

If you don't have your own uniform then you can buy one from most Army surplus stores (or on Ebay) and join in the protest. Combat Soldier 95 tunics are probably common - these are not returned to stores for reissue when someone leaves due to "health and safety" reasons (I remember the old days and inheriting a really battered old DPM jacket and trousers).

If, like me, you can take no more, then send Brown your uniform.

Update: This campaign has generated some interest - it's been suggested to send berets instead. This is a better idea - the postage is cheaper - so, send Brown a beret to show your displeasure.

George Foulkes – Criminal, Coward and Traitor

George Foulkes is a contemptible joke. An egregious individual even by Labour standards, he has two snouts and drains the taxpayers’ purse in both Westminster and Holyrood. Thrown out of his ministerial job after being arrested for assault and drunk and disorderly conduct in 1993, he wangled a peerage and clings pathetically to a list MSP job in the Scottish Parliament. How much longer he can cling on for is another matter entirely, following his latest bizarre utterance.

During defence questions in the Lords last week, Foulkes attacked the Chief of the Defence Staff (Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup) and the Chief of the General Staff (General Sir Richard Dannatt) and questioned their “loyalty” to their political masters. This follows General Dannatt’s loyalty to the troops under his command in lobbying for more resources, and the Chief of Defence Staff’s loyalty in defending General Dannatt from unprecedented and vicious smears and attacks. Without even considering the substance of these scurrilous attacks, it is clear that Foulkes is pathetic in comparison these courageous and outstanding officers. Stirrup has the Air Force Cross and Dannatt has the Military Cross. Neither of these gallantry decorations are awarded lightly, and a grubby little peerage for political expediency is utterly beneath comparison. Apparently grandfather Foulkes earned a Military Medal in the First World War…..he must be turning in his grave at these pathetic antics.

Foulkes claims that General Dannatt is somehow providing “succour” to the Taliban. This outrageous intervention follows other Labour smears, including calling Dannatt a “c*nt” behind his back. As I have stated before, this behaviour is cowardly, subversive and treacherous. It undermines the morale of soldiers in Afghanistan, who have enormous respect for the Chief of the General Staff, under the paternalistic and highly effective regimental system of the Army. Attacking the Chief of the General Staff this way is utterly unprecedented and unthinkable. I will say it again – it is treason. Foulkes will be held to account for this by the Armed Forces and their supporters, and I expect he will receive much “incoming fire” as well as finding himself persona non grata amongst the Armed Forces, Regimental and Service associations and the Royal British Legion…and everyone else as well. Most of the Labour Party will also be hanging their heads in horror….every time Foulkes opens his swine-like mouth, the party loses a thousand votes, every time there is a defence controversy the party loses a thousand votes, there is a by-election tomorrow and more coming in the near future. They will be thinking “time to get rid of this useless dinosaur who makes even Michael Martin appear the height of statesmanship by comparison…”

Brown and his government will also be held to account for the blood on their hands by the Armed Forces and their supporters, as it appears he has betrayed General Dannatt and his “shopping list” by reverting to his previous deceitful claims that British troops have enough resources and helicopters. This is in spite of interventions from Lord Malloch Brown of the Foreign Office (later retracted in part, clearly under pressure) and Brigadier General Ed Butler (most definitely unretracted). They will be held to account at the ballot box, when their treason and backstabbing will be remembered by all those who have served in uniform, their families and friends, and the wider British public – like those worthy souls who stand in remembrance all too often at Wootton Bassett. This is a war between the supporters of the Armed Forces and the government, and there will be only one outcome. Tragically, we will see more deaths in the meantime, with more blood on the hands of this government.

Back to Foulkes. Did I say he is a contemptible joke, and did I mention his arrest for assault and drunk and disorderly behaviour? Oh, so I did. Well, it appears that story has not been told in its entirety. My connections with the wider Armed Forces community have revealed that – before his arrest – Foulkes allegedly groped a female researcher at the event, and was lucky to escape chivalrous chastisement. I wonder how that revelation will sit with his researcher Kezia Dugdale, who has often spoken out on womens rights. We will have to wait and see.

Kevan Jones - Traitor with Bloodstained Hands

Attention is slowly being focussed on Kevan Jones. Iain Dale has been tipped off by a co-conspirator, worth a look.

Here's what I have found. The pathetic class warrior Kevan Jones has been attacking the generals for years. He took a particular pick against the-then Adjutant General (Sir Freddie Viggers) who had the temerity to step out of line and criticise the appalling state of Armed Forces accommodation, in January 2007.

Jones spent months of Parliamentary time trying to get some dirt on the fixtures and fittings of senior officers, particularly the Adjutant General. Here's one of his little gems, from June 2007 as recorded in Hansard.

Mr. Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 3 May 2007, Official Report, column 1851W, on army costs, for what purpose the chicken wire was erected at the residence of the Adjutant General.

More here, from September 2007.

Mr. Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 11 June 2007, Official Report, column 752W, on the Army Board, if he will provide a breakdown of the internal flights taken by the Chief of the General Staff in 2006; and what the purpose was of each flight.

Derek Twigg: I am withholding information about the details of the individual flights as its disclosure would or would be likely to endanger the safety of an individual.

The twat was even willing to endanger the safety of the Chief of the General Staff in his pathetic little class war campaign.

I've done some Googling. I can find no record of Kevan Jones asking questions about body armour, Snatch Land Rovers, helicopters, C-130 Hercules and Explosive Suppressant Foam, or Nimrod and air-air-refuelling. Failures in supply or safety of all these items have led directly to deaths.

If Jones had spent less time on class warfare and more time chasing real failings, then maybe less proletarian body bags would have been filled. He's bang to rights for treacherous briefings against General Dannatt, he has plenty of form and he is now a minister. Let's take him down....

I suggest it may be appropriate to present each of these cowards and traitors with a white feather....

The Traitors

Purge the Traitors!

The treacherous Labour Party and Labour government is at it again.

They are planning to trash the reputation of General Dannatt after he retires...denied the Chief of Defence Staff for sticking up for the troops rather than toeing the Labour line.

One minister said: “Once he’s gone, we can have a go at him. He can write his book and talk all he wants, but he’ll be fair game then.”

There is only one thing we can do.

Identify those who are subversively briefing against the General, those who are undermining the morale of the Army and other services, those who are committing nothing less than treason.

Make the entire country a no-go area for them. There are plenty of people who will take a pop at them over this and the other crimes this government has committed, with general abuse, eggs, fists and other displays of contempt

These allies of the Taliban deserve nothing less....and plenty worse.

Purge the Traitors!

TREASON!

The Times reports that unnamed Labour MPs, ministers and advisers have been briefing against the Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt. The Mail reports that one of the unattributed briefings referred to the General as a “total ****”.

We are fighting a war in Afghanistan. Troops are dying every week. What message does this send to soldiers risking their lives on operations, to those planning and supporting operations, to those making life-or-death decisions, if politicians are briefing against the head of the Army?

This disgraceful attack is without precedent. In fact, it constitutes treason. Attacking the Chief of the General Staff in this way will undermine morale in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

If anyone in uniform or in the Ministry of Defence made such an attack – speaking directly to journalists – then they would be punished. They would be breaching Defence Instruction Notice 2007DIN003/06 (which applies to the armed forces and also to civil servants) that prevents unauthorised contact with the media – assuming this wasn’t authorised! If in uniform, they would be charged and court-martialled under the Army Act (Navy or Air Force Act for the other services) or The Queen’s Regulations for bringing the Army into disrepute. In fact, they could well be charged with subversion, a very serious offence that falls just short of desertion and mutiny.

General Dannatt is greatly respected by rank-and-file soldiers as well as officers in a way that few chiefs of staff are. Many of his predecessors were admired by the public, but this was often due to a carefully-managed public profile. General Sir Mike Jackson was cut from the same cloth as Field Marshal Lord Montgomery of Alamein, although nowhere near as bad. Dannatt is different – he is a man of the utmost integrity, a committed Christian as well, a man who leads by personal example. He hasn’t been touring the TV studios talking tough, he has been lobbying politicians to get what he can for his troops in the face of government indifference. These attacks are utterly repellent and will cause enormous resentment in the Army – Dannatt has already been passed over for Chief of Defence Staff .

As I’ve said, in a time of war these attacks constitute treason. Those pathetic little Lord Haw Haws that are responsible – MPs, ministers, civil servants, special advisers – should be named and punished. If anyone knows who they are let me know at jessthedog@hotmail.co.uk. I will name them here, without fear. They must be punished as traitors – hanging would literally be too good for them. Drawing and quartering might just do the trick….

TREASON!
