Unfair Treatment

“In these days of changing ways, so called liberated days”..... so goes the song voiced by Rod Stewart back in 1976.

Well, I guess the 'gay-bashing' has changed a lot, which was the whole idea of the song, but why can't this relate to the whole world? If we are so “liberated” why can't we learn to live and let live? I know most of us will feel this way. It always seems to be just a zealous few that spoil it for everyone else, claiming unfair treatment, or 'wrong beliefs'  or some other obscure reason.

Surely we have enough specialised teams ( British SAS, American Navy SEALS, and I am sure other countries have similar) that we can take care of the ring leaders of these antagonsitic groups, rather than risk the hundreds of everyday troops? 

This would also save millions of pounds that could be better spent on re-homing our veterans that have returned from these war zones with so many problems, resulting in an unacceptable amount struggling to cope with “normal” daily life and ending up on the streets.

I do have sympathy for all those refugees seeking to escape their embattled homelands, but I still believe that “Charity begins at home” and that we should take care of our own before assisting others.

Being ex-Forces myself I have so much respect and admiration for our men and women that serve in such hostile areas and I don't believe they get the full support they deserve on their return.

So many of my friends, ex-Forces and Nurses, agree with my sentiments. How come the Government won't listen? Instead they seem to ignore our brave troops and throw money at housing and social needs of those immigrants, be they refugees or asylum seekers. 

If it were not for our Armed Forces there would not be a 'Free Britain' for these immigrants to escape to.  Come on, Parliament. Do the right thing by the people YOU send to war to fight for OUR freedom. It's about time!
