HAVE YOUR SAY

SHOULD OUR FORCES GET THEIR OWN HOSPITAL?

PRIDE OF BRITAIN: Our soldiers

Tuesday August 12,2008

OUR heroic soldiers lay down their lives to fight for Britain, taking to the battlefield in harsh and unforgiving conditions for months on end.

Already 290 troops have been killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan and many hundreds more injured.

But for all their bravery these wounded soldiers are facing a battle they should never have to wage – the right to recovery.

Successive Labour Governments have heralded the demise of British military hospitals, once the envy of the world, and will slam the door shut on the last dedicated facility next year.

In their place remains a sole ward in Birmingham’s Selly Oak Hospital.

Quite simply our injured heroes are being left to rot with no dedicated care and no hope for their future medical treatment.

Today the Daily Express launches our Hospital for Heroes Crusade, demanding that Gordon Brown halts the neglect of Britain’s proud soldiers, sailors and airmen.

We are calling for the Prime Minister to create a dedicated military and veterans’ hospital and to reverse the closure of the Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport – the country’s last remaining facility of its kind.

* Do YOU think our forces should get their own hospital?

* Should these BRAVE wounded soldiers be DENIED the right to recovery?

*** HAVE YOUR SAY NOW! ***

AND THE LEAST WE CAN DO FOR THOSE POOR MISERABLE CHILDREN AT HAUT DE LA GARENNE IS TIO SEE THAT WE HAVE SOLDIERS FIGHTING FOR A COUNTRY THAT WILL NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN ...

... If not, a country that allows torture, rape and murder of defenceless children to go unaccounted for, is not a country worth fighting for at all! - Hospitals or no hospitals.

Yes of course they should, they should have better pay, more compensation better equipment. Anything that makes their lives easier, better and that makes them feel they are valued. Because contrary to the message that seems to be delivered by government with their treatment of these men and women, the ordinary people of Britain appreciate what the soldliers are doing in the name of duty for their country. It is the least we can do for them.

The Authorites do not give a second thought about anyone , let alone what happened years ago on an island off the Coast, ? 911 7/7 Madrid ! if thats not a clear warning of what the "Authorities" are capable of , then i don't know what is !
