Isn’t it incredible that in the middle of one whole month (June) dedicated to Pride, the U.K. will soon have only one day (24th June) for the Armed Forces?
There are 2 million veterans. 160,000 serving sailors,
soldiers and airmen.
300 amputees alone from Afghanistan.
17,000 service personnel killed from conflicts and accidents since WW II.
5,000 homeless veterans.
Thousands with mental health problems (PTSD)
Veterans from wars in WWII, Korea, Malaya, Borneo, Cyprus, Aden, NI, Falklands, Iraq & Afghanistan.
Instead we have the spectacle of the trans and alphabet brigade, many prancing around our streets for a whole month!
Over the past 25 years our priorities have changed dramatically and the culture wars have taken priority.

Hello @PaversShoes do you allow military discount? - shopped recently and presented my MOD issue veterans ID card.
They said it wasn’t the right card. The card was issued by the Ministry of Defence for 34 years service. Was pretty disappointed in the manager’s attitude.

#RoyalNavy sailors will have the honour of pulling the State Ceremonial Gun Carriage bearing HM The Queen’s coffin on Monday, a duty they have performed since the funeral of Queen Victoria in 1901.

My final day serving the @RoyalNavy and @RNReserve today - feels emotional after 40+ years. Joined WRNS in Oct 81 and RNR in 96. Many operational mobilisations and FTRS contracts later it’s time to say farewell.

More than one tonne of drugs – worth over £15m – has been seized by @HMSMontrose in her first bust of 2022.👏
The ship pounced on a dhow carrying heroin, methamphetamine and hashish: the seventh seizure by the ship inside 3 years.
