I know I'll get flak for this, but here goes...
I'm not from the UK. I don't live in the UK. But I spent some time this morning reading a 3 page article in the Sunday Times about the incredibly poor way that British Soldiers have been treated if wounded in battle.
Stories of waiting lists, no medical help, no govt action. No uniformed visitors for fear of upsetting members of hospital staff. Swimming is part of the therapy for amputees, but up to last week amputees were told to leave a swimming pool as they were upsetting the children - they have to use a public one as the hospital doesn't have facilities.
The article further mentioned that although things are starting to pick up through the actions of various celebrities - Jeremy Clarkson take a bow - there's still a long way to go.
I'm always touched by the sacrifices made in war, not by governments or faceless armies but by ordinary blokes with wives and children that need them back.
Help for Heroes is a charity set up to help. Many on here preach about charity starting at home. Lets see them put their money where their mouths are.
