SYB pointed me at a post over on OAMAAM ref a documentary the Beeb are making called “the Abandoned Soldier”
It`s about the shocking treatment meted out to Veterans who have been injured either physically or mentally or both, in the service of Great Britain. Watch out for it in May-ish.
A group of Veterans from all Branches, (but mainly Royal and the Para )staged a protest in Trafalgar Square and erected this.
Here’s Yorkie and Si, stood in front of the statue
and a close-up of the wording,
Here’s a phot to show the scale of the head
Here’s Si with a Johnny called Gyanray, and a Jenny called Sue,
Clock the wording on this statue,”Gratefull Country” my arse. Ken Livingstone didn`t even have the courtesy to talk to these Veterans whose sacrifices provide him with the very freedom he enjoys to be a socialist w4nker and total arsewipe.

Once the protest was over, the statue is removed as witnessed by Si and one of the Toms
Afterwards, the motley crew from all branches of the Services posed for the usual mug shot
As some of you know, Si has been on many tv and radio progs talking about PTSD in particular and the disgraceful treatment of injured Vets in general and through his meeja contacts he pushed out a phone number at the Beeb for anyone who wants to have a documentary made. Yorkie Malone rang them up and you will see the results in May. (Is that about right Si?)
Tremendous effort from all involved in this project! What a fantastic statue for the vacant plinth in the Square instead of the shite Ken Livingstone wants, for farksake
Well done Yorkie and Simon, well impressed
Farking amazing, you two
Now, who is going to send me a vid
