THE Ministry of Defence tells us that gardeners attending war graves are to have their pay cut by 30 per cent. This will make it impossible for them to carry on. Do we reward the men and women who laid down their lives for this country in such a despicable way?
Now this politically-correct bunch who call themselves 'The Government' are now saying it is racist to call ourselves 'British'. The majority of men and women, whatever the colour of their skin, who are born in this country are proud to be 'British'.
Jack Straw, who is associated with this report, ought to be sorting out the crime rate (which is rising dramatically).
This government is so out of touch with ordinary people - they sit in their ivory tower in Downing Street and unless you are a millionaire or in show biz, they do not know you even exist.
