POPSFleetwood Member of the trough If you wonder why I have repeated this, it is because the young Royal Marine killed in action earlier this year, paid for his own food and lodgings whilst in barracks, and got but a pittance of these expenses whilst on active service in Afghanistan.

Openness should lead to honesty, but it will not. It is the likes of these people, but not necessarily these immediate persons, who pontificate over the pennies that means the differences for old and vulnerable people to be cold and fed at home. Having met these types on a regular basis, I hold no reason to think they are some form of ultra-superior being. Like so many of the senior officers in HM Forces, they have gone along with the tide and feathered their own nests, where the general population struggles with the ineptitudes of their offices. I offer just one example, the insidious 1975 Social Security and Pensions Act which stole from hundreds of thousands of former regulars their legal entitlement to an equitable pension. Note that senior offices and politicians ensured that their pensions are secured, were secured and will always be secured. If I am wrong, then why has Parliament not implemented the Hutton recommendations in full, and gone one further and blocked the exce

POPSHumbled she ought to be Other sites of local interest have realised that Mssrs Humble is not the angel her Labour supporters make her out to be. She is in fact dangerous. The reasons? Too numerous to count, but I will give you one. 1 It is the responsibility and duty of a local MP to hold the Executive to account. Now look at her voting record. With this corrupt, inept legislative assembly probable the worst in British political history, she has never once voted against the plethora of bad law, rules and regulations pouring out of Westminster. If she is not doing her job, then what the f**k is she doing taking her £67k plus expenses plus perks plus plus plus for none representation of her electorates problems?

POPSTory thief? There are so many former soldiers who will have a horrendous Christmas while the likes of this Tory will be going toward a retirement of plenty. Not if Notareargunner can help it. Charge them now with fraud and straight forward theft - to permanently deprive you, the owner, of YOUR money. If you really do not care just continue to vote Labour and let them all prosper at OUR expense.

POPSI Spy Strangers It hasn't taken the immigrant long to fall in with the graft and corruption of British poitics. There is another odious character who speaks like an English upper-class twit, treats the electorate like idiots and walked unmolested through one of the longest inquiries in Parliamentary history. Not bad for an immigrant from Aden. I wonder if he was shooting at us during the sixties...because he couldn't have been dodging bullets with us, could he?

POPSHey diddle didlle - they're still on the fiddle Yet the Blackpool Labour stalwart has no problems of getting all the freebies he is entitled to, under his own rules, whilst former public servants drift away in silence. To add insult to injury, a former labour government removed the safety net of pension, paid for by his own donations, by changing the rules by which serviceman's pensions were calculated DOWNWARDS. To gain a full pension pre 1975 Social Security and Pensions Act one had to complete a full 22 years of the 22 year contract, which only came into force once you are eighteen years of age. That meant all those who gained medals before their 18th birthdays got NOWT, NOTHING, ZILTS, KISS YOU POLITICIANS FAT ARSE for service served and lives lost. Then all contributions to your own pension was arbitrarily cut from a 22 full part to 36. That is to say that if you did 21 years six months, instead of getting 21.5 of 22, ie, almost a full pension once your entitlement kicked in, you got 21.5 of a 36 full part. A third of your cont

POPSBeating the Enemy? I received this email and had to publish it, even though it could probably be spam. Adopt A Terrorist A very liberal Canadian lady wrote a lot of letters to the government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She received the following reply: National Defence Headquarters MGen George R. Pearkes Bldg, 15 NT 101 Colonel By Drive Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2 Canada Dear Concerned Citizen, Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.

POPSWealth on Health The report by healthcare analysts Dr Foster found that 12 trusts are putting patients at serious risk because of life-threatening errors and 'systemic' safety failings - even though eight of them were praised as 'good' or 'excellent' by the Care Quality Commission health watchdog only last month. It also found that 27 trusts - a fifth of the total - have unusually high death rates - equating to almost 5,000 excess deaths. More than half of the 27 are supposedly elite foundation trusts. The joint-tenth-worst, Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre, is said by Dr Foster to have a death rate 15 per cent higher than the national average. Yet its chief executive, Julian Hartley, saw his pay rise by 32 per cent from £125,000 to £165,000 when his trust attained foundation status in December 2007. He has now left to join South Manchester, another of the least-safe trusts on the list.

POPSDead in three months. Labour should die sooner. The Scottish Kirk wrapped a convicted man in Muslim cloth and sent him off to confession in the dessert of Human Kindness, nursed by the murderers of WPC Fletcher, with the Blessing of the Son of Manse. As they all prayed at the altar of Blindness a single voice was heard to call out, “Jesus save us.” The twenty million pilgrims heard this lone voice and the worshipper was stoned to death. The crowd in Mecca cheered and called out, “Allah is merciful.” Will these Gods help Labour, the SNP and all the others who usurp the ancient laws for modern commercialism? Only history, or the voters, can say

POPSMental stress I cannot agree with some blogs about the causes of so much stress for soldiers, but I wholehearted concur that any compensation is derisory. Whenever I am almost convinced, some former pongo comes on the TV and tells the world how hard he had it in the Falklands when he never stepped ashore except on a stretcher. What about the views of the other ten thousand or so who walked ashore despite their injuries yet remain silent? And they actually did fight for the islands. Not that that is my gripe. When I listened to a CSM from 45 Commando tell an audience that the training today is as hard as it ever was I cringed. Whoever allowed the training syllabus to be changed to reflect that of the army ought to be guillotined alongside most Ministers of Defence. So much of the stress factor can be eliminated in training, but Health and Safety has put a kybosh on all that.

POPSBritains forgotten children MORE than 150 children in Glasgow were found to be suffering from malnutrition after being screened for the condition. A pilot study found that 10% of more than 1,000 children tested on admission to hospital had the condition as a result of poor diet or chronic illness. The pilot was held for a new screening system that has been developed in the city. The tool, believed to be the first of its kind in Europe, can identify children aged from one year who are suffering from malnutrition or are at risk of developing it. It was created by dietary and medical experts at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill and is based on a simple scoring system. Doctors say the Paediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS) could be adapted for use in the community to help identify children at risk of malnutrition or obesity which puts them at risk in later life of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. A pilot of 1571 carried out at the hospital showed that 157 were suffering

POPSUS Amy suspect in mass murder Maybe I am naive but does not the first sentence of the Times report ask more questions of multi-nationalism than the wish to prove it works. Daydreaming always ends in disater. Now Let's get real. As a former regular soldier I am sick and tired of listening to the cowering comments of those not prepared to defend their wn country. As in Britain, if all these immigrants really want to do something positive for their adopted country, go back to your own country. Enoch Powell warned of this over half a century ago, and was castigated as a prime racist. How right he has been proven. My sincerest best wishes to the American people and all the victims of this heinous crime.

POPSThe rotten estates England Everything that is bad about the English system is evidence here. These lazy, greedy perpetrators of perpetual socialism have been protected by the liberal correctness regimes put in place by successive governments. Everything about that statement is wrong, except the facts. The fact that these people are allowed to raise more generations of worthless flesh is as abhorrent to the hard working Briton as the devious and malicious enterprises of the Bankers and their cohorts, the politicians. Absolutely no system has the panacea for all societies’ ills, but this system that relies on the influential few to circumvent the wishes of the people by allowing the ill-educated to proliferate whilst Labour imports their supporters from foreign lands is treason. Get the illiterate masses educated. Once they learn the hard lesson of real education they would have no need to wallow in self pity, smoke their tax free cigarettes and produce off-spring that every tax payer I the land has to subsi

POPSA letter to the Mail It is just over thirty years since Sgt Ray Beamish 1st Fld Reg RhA, and others were murdered by terrorists they were 'converting', much against what the mass of voices were screaming silently from within Army itself. It was in 1964 that the police in Aden city turned their guns on the Brits soldiers and were 'put down' by 45 Commando and the Gordons. Yesterday 5 more young men, and probably more, were gunned down by a rogue policeman and Brown still waffles out his venal apologies to the Nation, and his supporters swallow it hook line and sinker. In N. Ireland the situation is as desperate as when I stood the barricades exactly 40 years ago, and everyone tells how much improved it all is. Get real. The only thing that has happened is that far too many Brits have died, the taxpayer has forked out billions to immoral politicians, both here and abroad, bankers have got richer and politicians haven't the slightest notion of why they have got us into so much doodoo. The question I want an

POPSBlackpool Conservatives accused. The sweet smell of hypocrisy wafts round Blackpool like a ruptured effluent pipe out into the Irish Sea. For years the public have ignored the murmurings of ‘irregularity’ in local politics because not a single body appeared to have the stomach or authority to confront dubious activities. The imagination with which politicians interpret rules to suit themselves is farcical and responsible for the moral cesspit that governs public perception. Where are simple ethics of Right and Wrong? Definitely not in Westminster and the country might say, not in many council offices. It is this perception that prevents perfectly decent people from entering politics and playing an active role in society. When Steve Flanigan resigned as Treasurer of the Blackpool South Conservatives, there was not a murmur. The fact that a leading councillor had received donations of £250 from the late George Thompson of the Pleasure Beach and had chosen not to immediately declare it to the Treasurer is and was

POPSCyril Ellis - a hero Heroes are so often quiet people who do little to arouse notoriety until they are called on to do superhuman things. They are abound today in the mountains of Afghanistan, a legacy of past generations cemented on tradition and loyalties established by giants like Cyril Ellis. Cyril answered the call along with others of his generation and his family; his brother Ronnie was a sergeant of Guards, Cyril became a Royal Marine and was one of the original Commandos. When Britain was able to go on the offensive to Free Europe, it was the types of Cyril Ellis who led the way. He fought with great distinction, and many say he ought to have been decorated, at Salerno where, as an acting colour-sergeant, led his troop to capture German artillery and prevent a massive counter-attack from a strong and well equipped foe. Subsequently, whilst with 41 Commando, he was involved with the assault on D-Day beaches of Normandy, and in late autumn of that year in the reckless and magnificent assault

POPSAfghanistan - another view who, according to British media, are not present in this war torn country. Not controlling the high ground is a certain recipe for disaster. In a modern age where logistics are so essential it is amazing that a semi literate almost primitive foe can have access to modern telephone technology but the Nato troops are ham-strung with their heavy and useless radio networks and equipment. All Nato troops now carry weapons that share 55.6 ammunition in a country where the average contact starts at massive distances. This means that you are dependent on support weapons which are totally alien to the mobility of troops trained for speed and action. The Italians, masters at Alpine terrains and warfare would never acquiesce to allowing their soldiers to be more than shooting ducks in a theatre they practice in their own back yard, or would they? Read this piece for yourself and then speak with you MP. Or better still continue accepting the lies fostered by this illegal and immoral governme

POPSWhy MP's are corrupt The Green Book did not give MPs line by line instructions over what to do if their lawn needed re-seeding. But common sense might suggest that this was not appropriate use of the accommodation allowance and MPs whining now that it’s unfair for them to have to pay back money spent on lavish re decorations or topiary trimming need to get a grip on reality. The demand that the tax payer should pay £18.000 for a book shelf for a MP in his last months before permanent retirement is offensive under all aspects of sense and even law. The matter of MPs buying and switching houses at the tax payer expense is an offense under law and an offense under decency and for Labour to defend the perpetrators is offensive to the friends and families of those dying for this Once Great Nation. LET A JURY IN A COURT OF LAW BE THE TRUE ARBITER.

POPSTessa Jowell's rich, corrupt husband What is better for the nation, this corrupt man with his complicity spouse, or a wanker who charges the nation for his porn whilst his wife walks around with a police escort and anti-stab jacket? That's Labour all over. Labour in Ashton in Makersfield willl be losing one of the most inept, lazy self promotional MP's in Lancashire and then have no say on his replacement. That's Labour. Blackpool MP Gordon Marden has not a word of encouragement for the family of Andy Miller who died in rge hands of a bailiff as he was demanding payment for a challenged fine for speeding. The evidence of They Work for You shows where Gay Gordon's priorities lie, and it appears not to be in the interest of the ordinary English voter.

POPSUS Marines facing reality They ought to read this blog, they and their inept and idiotic political masters. I had a US former Marine Sgt work for me in Namibia. He could not understand that his two year enlistment did nowhere equate to that of a 15 year regular soldier. Very few of the lessons in soldiering can be gained from the library of military literature. They are gained in the field, from those who have experienced all that service has to offer. The British made an enormous mistake when, after the Falklands, the major slice of experienced senior nco's were forcibly retired. That single instrument allowed second class senior officers to kowtow to their political masters, with disastrous procurement of everything essential from personal weapons to food, through footwear to transport. When General Jackson and his cronies were feathering their pension pots, the skills and loyalty of the squaddie were evaporating on a maelstrom of political correctness and Health & Safety. I heard not a beep out of th
