Slaughter Of The Innocents.

Six brave British soldiers were slaughtered in Afghanistan as they drove their badly equipped Warrior vehicle.

Five of these heroes did not make it past the age of 21 years.

The group were led by Sergeant Nigel Coupe age 33 years.

The rest were:

• Corporal Jake Hartley age 20.
• Private Anthony Frampton, age 20.
• Private Christopher Kershaw, age 20.
• Private Daniel Wade, age 20.
• Private Daniel Wilford, age 21.

HOW CAN CAMERON JUSTIFY ANY MORE SACRIFICES?

Tony Blair started this slaughter of young British soldiers.

Gordon Brown continued with the killings.

Now Cameron is very content to carry on offering the lives of British troops in a war that will NEVER be won.

Since 2001 there have been 404 British soldiers killed to satisfy the egos of Blair, Brown and now Cameron.

THE KILLING YEARS ARE:

• 2001.   0 Killed.
• 2002.   3 Killed.
• 2003.   0 Killed.
• 2004.   1 Killed.
• 2005.   1 Killed.
• 2006.   39 Killed.
• 2007.   42 Killed.
• 2008.   51 Killed.
• 2009.   108 Killed.
• 2010.   103 Killed.
• 2011.   46 Killed.
• 2012.   10 Killed so far.

There have been HUNDREDS SEVERELY WOUNDED on the front line.

Warrior Vehicle Upgrade.

Following the deaths of 4 soldiers in Iraq in 2007, a £1 Billion upgrade of the warrior vehicle fleet was announced.

IMPROVEMENTS HAVE NOT YET STARTED.

Political Excuses To Continue War In Afghanistan.

TONY BLAIR:

Reduction in the heroin trade.  This trade was 185 tons in 2001.  NOW it is 5,800 tons.

GEORGE BUSH:

Clear out Al Qaeda training camps.  NOW they are increasingly obscure.

BROWN and now CAMERON:

Establish a modern liberal democracy.  NOW the corrupt Karzai endorses wife beating and segregation of the sexes.

DAVID CAMERON:

Preventing Afghanistan becoming a haven for Al Qaeda.  NOW the taliban influence is growing.

BUT CAMERON STILL INSISTS THAT BRITISH TROOPS CONTINUE TO BE SLAUGHTERED FOR A WAR THAT CANNOT BE WON.

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW.

Liar Cameron Stabs Armed Forces In The Back.

Cameron PROMISED to honour the Military Covenant.

The Covenant was meant to provide our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen/Women and Marines with:

• The right equipment.
• Good pay.
• Top pensions.
• First class medical treatment.
• Good housing.
• The best treatment for our wounded heroes when they leave the Service.

NOW CAMERON HAS STABBED THEM IN THE BACK ONCE AGAIN.

• British Armed Forces are to receive a capped 1% pay rise for the next TWO YEARS.  This while welfare payouts will rise by 5.2%.
• Personnel earning over £21,000 will have pay rises FROZEN FOR TWO YEARS.
• A range of allowances will be cut.
• Veterans’ pensions are to be reduced under NEW RULES.
• Wounded heroes who are axed from the Army will lose crucial benefits.
• Children of wounded and killed Service Personnel will lose all education benefits and will no longer be considered “Service Children”.
• Wounded veterans still DO NOT go to the top of housing lists.

CAMERON HAS NOW LOST THE TRUST OF ALL SERVING PERSONNEL AND VETERANS.

Cameron is treating our war zone heroes shamefully, but is happy to fund welfare scroungers and give our money to overseas countries.

War Hero Forced To Live In A Vauxhall Astra.

Darren King. a 5 year war veteran has been evicted from his home by Colchester Council because he fell behind with his rent.

Darren who was on benefits found a part time job, but in doing so had his benefits stopped causing him to fall behind with his rent.

Darren, his partner and Daughter now live in his car parked in a lay-by.

QUESTION FOR CAMERON:

Why should young men sign up to protect their country and then be treated in this shameful manner?

Aircraft Carrier Refit Cost Trebles.

The cost of refitting the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier to take the Joint Strike Fighter has risen from £500 Million to £1.8 Billion.

British Troops Die Because Essential Kit Not Available.

British troops in Afghanistan are being forced to carry out dangerous supply operations because an URGENT request for vital kit has not been fulfilled more than TWO YEARS after Commanders asked for it.

Cameron’s Defence cuts has delayed the Joint Precision Aerial Delivery System ( JPADS ) designed to provide fast foreward equipment delivery of essential supplies.

Cameron’s Defence cuts to the JPADS has directly resulted IN THE DEATHS OF AT LEAST 4 BRITISH SOLDIERS who had to resupply by road instead of using “AIRDROPS”.

MOD Tried To Cover Up Selling Harrier Jump Jets For A Knock-Down Price.

The MOD tried to cover-up the fact its Harrier Jump Jets were sold to the Americans for a knock-down price of £112 Million shortly after a £600 Million refit.

Cameron has had another belly flop and decided that the Navy can buy the new joint fighter with jump jet capabilities to operate on our new aircraft carriers.

Bassetlaw District Council Prefers “Gay Rights” To Honouring British Troops.

Bassetlaw District Council is very happy to fly the flag promoting homosexual and lesbian right.

This SAME Council axed a flag paying tribute to British troops.

This Labour controlled District Council is made up of:

• Labour members.  27.
• Conservative.  17.
• Independent.  3.

Draw your own conclusions.

Cameron’s Death Toll Rises.

Sadly the number of British troops to be killed in Afghanistan continues to rise.

Cameron’s death toll has now reached 408.

Homosexual Attack On Young Soldier.

Three drunken soldiers at the Wattisham Army Base in Suffolk carried out an unprovoked homosexual attack on an innocent young soldier as he lay asleep.

The drunken trio subjected the young man to a terrifying sexual assault.

The British Army MUST stop these attacks on fellow soldiers.

Let us hope that the trio, if found guilty at a courts martial, will be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years jail.

Afghan Hero Beaten By Barrack Corporals.

Another vicious attack has been carried out on an innocent young British soldier at his base in Paderborn, Germany.

This time it was on an Afghan hero who survived seven months on the front line only to be beaten in a savage attack by two Corporals.

The hero was out having a quiet drink with friends when the two Corporals ordered him to buy them drinks.

The hero refused, where upon the two cowardly Corporals carried out a merciless attack upon him.

Having been beaten for nearly 30 minutes with a chair, being stamped on and having his windpipe crushed, the hero was flown home to hospital in the UK.

Again let us hope that these thugs get 10 years jail.
