Hi Zachery

About the UK Goverment and its treatment of its soldiers in afganistan.

If this happened in World War 2, Gordon Brown would of been shot for Treason.

Sending Troops into battle without the necessary protection and equipment, tells me he must have struck a deal with the Taliban - Traitor!! He's doing what the Taliban want!!

He still sends troops without the proper equipment, and body amour into battle, He's not looking at the lives lost, but more the money saved, makes me mad!!!

At the moment The UK forces are having to beg equipment from the Yanks and the Aussies, because we have none, Whilst this is going on and the Government says it has no money, people are dying.

Its not on, and makes me so angry, especially since its been discovered that UK members of Parliment have been fiddling their expenses for years.

If we stopped providing a Bed and breakfast for the whole world then maybe we would have some money left in the coffers.
We put outside interests before our own people and thats the way its been for yrs.
Im afraid if you want change then you going to have to do a lot more than just have a petition.

We need to rally together and show this goverment that enough is enough.But its not going to happen as everyone is to PC these days.

Couldn't agree with you more UK. And, they come back to a country where the immigrants are screwing up the return celebrations and being mocked after fighting for their country. Gordon brown should be shot, He's full of shit at the best of times and should have stepped down the day he took over from tony blair. I personally think his agenda was so strong in getting the job as pm he didn't plan on bettering this country when he got the job.

Ship the immigrants back.
Pull out of the eu
And Start concerntrating on helping our own people.

Every Day you learn of a death of a young soldier, through lack of equipment or not having the correct kit, why are we still sending them to war without??

The latest British soldier to be killed in Afghanistan was named last night as 22-year-old Corporal Joseph Etchells of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.

Cpl Etchells, who was engaged to be married and had a young daughter, died when a Taliban booby-trap bomb exploded when he was on a foot patrol near the town of Sangin on Sunday.

He is 186th UK serviceman to die in Afghanistan and the 17th since the start of July - making this the worst month for losses from ground combat since operations began in 2001. So Sad.

Whilst Guys that have lost limbs, recieve ?15,000 compensation, a secretary in the MOD office in London gets ?250,000 for RSI injury to her thumb??

With PM's stealing Taxpayers Money to live their lives in Luxuary, and furnish their houses and 2nd homes, Theres no money left to buy Helicopters, or life saving Kit, If thats not siding with the Taliban through sheer recklessness, then tell me what is.

Gordon Brown and his bunch of theives are traitors to England, The Queen and her Soldiers, He needs arresting for Treason.

Never again will England Feel proud as it did when we fought in the Falklands, without help from anyone. They say Maggie has more balls than Brown, and its True!!

I'll have a bash adding that petition later,

Stick your petition right on the 10 Downing Street petition site

Tell them exactly what you think ................ mind you as with every other petition they will probably just ignore you.

Here you go UKBL this petition needs your attention : http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/

Online petitions rarely work, if you're seriously intrested in petitioning you're going to need to hit the streets.

Thanks Adrian

I have a funny feeling that the Number 10 Petition site is purely to keep all the aguements under wraps and in one place, I doubt that they have configured the site so its first page of google? Typical UK Government, out of sight, out of mind.

I may go for the first site i found and try and promote that, you'd be suprised just how quick the word spreads.
