Thanks again.

Stay PH, I've changed the title three times, it was a Thank You to serving and past members of the Armed Forces but after about five minutes I used it to update the posts as even our own mainstream media were very slow on the uptake. I listen to London Talk Radio and they were on the story very early on.

Thanks for all the posts guys. I don't know how your media is covering it there but the video of the offenders filmed by eye witnesses was chilling!

Great poem too.

That poor young man. I've seen some shit in my time, but this is beyond comprehension.

I'm relieved you said that as I was worried I came across as just to soft and over dramatic.

Love ya Ronnie

STAY SAFE PLEASE

One last thing before this thread disappears

Been working away and this is the 1st I've heard. Truly shocking

The truth is that those of us that choose or chose to serve and defend the freedom of others will always be targets of those that seek to destroy it.

I don't see myself as a veteran, just as someone who served.
I was in BAOR when we were being targeted by IRA cells. Troops cars bombed, troops gunned down at traffic lights.
Those were difficult times, but it did not stop us believing in what we were doing.

My thoughts are with the family of this soul.
His paternal family and his brothers in arms.



RIP MY BROTHER

Prisons to bloody good for them, they should be hung.

Bwing hung is to good for them. They should b beaten senseless with whips, chains, and sticks!!! Thats the closest thing that even comes close to the proper punishment! I love the troops that risk their own life for their country.

Just been watching the videos, that guy with the meat cleaver if I'm not mistaken is south London born and bred, of West Indian parentage from his accent and demeanour . So what the fuck is he on about women have to see that kind of violence in his country every day and lets face it if he was from some African country or such, the violence he's talking about would be African on African, nothing to do with UK or British Troops or even American

25yr old Drummer Lee Rigby of 2nd Battalion confirmed as the British soldier who was brutally murdered in t
he name of 'Allah'.

I am an American soldier. I just want to say to my brothers and sisters across the pond, I sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've served with many English soldiers and y'all are an amazing group of people. We love y'all over here! My prayers are with the family of the soldier lost.
