Strange as he is only person, if the Tory Government go ahead with this do you not feel that it will be them that will brake the union. Another factor to this is the ever increasing power that Tony Blair handed over to EU and it's ever increasing waste of money? Show less »

If you can afford to bail out the banks and give money for foreign aid, why can't you just simply not give as much to other countries and spend more on the armed forces?

How do you respond to the fact that 2 troop surges have already been attempted and failed because they resulted in additional Afghani civilian casualties?

Show more »Hi, My husband is currently serving out there in Afghanistan. I can see the operational minutes have increased from 20 minutes to 30 minutes since tours in the past and also the new Textlink facilities out there. However I do feel given the number of years we have been there allbiet some of the areas are new terriority..why is it that there is still an ongoing problem with Sat Phones/ Textlink equipment? It is so scarce on the ground at FOB's and CP's. The end result is yes the Operational Welfare package is good out there but only to those who have the means to utilise it fully. Surely this should be taken into consideration out there. Ie, a worker in bastion gets paid LSA but a worker at a CP (some with no welfare facilities and very basic living conditions) gets the same...surely Unpleasant living allowance should also be awarded. At present there doesnt seem to be no recognition on the very different working/living environments people work with out there. My husband may get 30 minutes a week but when they wait for new phones/repairs or move to new areas they arent always able to use there welfare package. I think this is an area where there is room for improvement..morale is important in these situations and when the welfare package isnt availible/fully availible these guys need recognition for that. I mean its a very different living environment when you eat out of a bag...toilet into a bag, sleep in a bag and live out of a bag and shower from a bag with no electricity etc. Not that our men dont cope well with it they do, but these conditions are unpleasant jus like a chef's are out there. I think my point is a valid one and eagerly await your response. Show less »

Show more »I understand that the reason for us deploying troops in Afghanistan is to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks against Britain. Our troops are deployed on the ground in southern Afghanistan and fight some groups of Afghans in an attempt to enfore the rule of the Kabul government. This tactic costs a lot of British lives. So what evidence do we have that this specific and costly tactic is the best way of reducing the terrorist threat to Britain? Wouldn't a more discrete intelligence lead operation in Afghanistan and Pakistan against actual terrorist groups be more effective at protecting us, without the cost of killing and seriously injuring so many British soldiers?

Show more »we would like an answer to this question; Why is the MoD/SPVA refusing to inform current service personnel who are wounded and injured, let alone service families with chronic ill and/or disabled member's, or chronic ill and disabled veteran's, about state benefits they are entitled too. With regards I as a disabled rights person am having to travel around the UK teaching military unit welfare officer's and teams, service personnel and families, let alone veteran's about these benefits they are entitled to, equally personnel from military charities as well. Directly because of the failures of the likes of the Veteran Minister and Minister for Disabled People, causing not only million's of pounds are going unclaimed in benefits, but disabled soldier's, service families and veteran's, plus military charities, have paid out tens of hundreds of thousands if not million's of pounds, in taxes and vat duties on goods and services for servicemen and women own disabilities, they did not need too. Equally being made to pay high power and water bills, than they have too, as disabled people they are entitled to reduced tariff power and water bills schemes too. In fact we are being asked by local council officer's to give presentation about this, so local civilian disabled people will not suffere let alone military disabled people too. So I Ex-Cllr Wendy Harbon[disabled in the line of duty myself] would like an official answer from the Secretary of State of Defence Bob Ainsworth MP, why his failures are allowing this, maybe he agreeing to see me in person over this ?.
