I think it an excellent idea. But how will they administer it - ID cards issued by the government?!

Re: Mayor announces free travel for injured war veterans
Headshed Boris,
Well done that man.
If I were a woman I'd have your babies but I'm not so I won't.
Cheers,

Ex Army War Pensioner.
It's a great start, but Ross Kemp is on the money with how we are treated in comparison with our American cousins. It's borderline embarrassing when you are over there and they hear you are a serving member. I got half-price tickets to Seaworld (where the vets and forces get a standing ovation), free entry into Busch gardens, and generally back-slapped and drinks bought everywhere I went. Veterens get unlimited use of their PX's and facilities. Our vets get a lapel pin.
A great start, but more needs to be done NATIONWIDE for all vets, AND those who continue to put their country's needs before theirs, and their family's needs.
I don't know if this will work but the Veterans Agency will if asked issue war pensioners with a credit card sized card confiming that you are a war pensioner .

It would be easier to allow servive personnel to keep their old military ID card with a hole punched on one side. Why replicate, not to mention the cost!
Just an idea.

You have to be kidding, (no offence intended), but if the criminal fraternity can bother their arrse to make facsimilies of disabled badges, they will surely make mincemeat of the outdated mod f 90.
The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic.
It wasn't lost on me , made me giggle too, I was just to lazy to edit. :D
errr . . . .
The MoD 90 holds more info than just our picture. The criminal fraternity will always scam away around rules, thats why they're called criminals. (No offence intended).

It says at the bottom that eligible people will be invited to apply via the MOD and get issued an Oyster Card, so I suppose the cost will be met by whoever usually issues Oyster Cards?
I think I've laddered my fucking tights.
I do hope those who have 'sounded off' against B.J with stupid and irrelevant 'Etonian' and 'Oxford' jibes, will now wind in their old fashioned, 1970's stupid lefty necks.

BJ is a solid good man. He has more intellect in his left heel than the entire government and more even , dare I say this, than is evident on this site!
PS: Bet he is chuffed with the Henley results - bet he won't crow about it though.
PPS: Longing for 'Sven's' explanation of why zaNU Liarbour came behind Greens and BNP - yes! BNP.
Why have 650 expensive MPs, when all the laws are made in Brussels without interference from elected personnel?
Sorry fella, so we were told. The technology is bloody ancient. You can't book into or out of theatre.
You would be better off with a cardboard bus ticket, and now I am going back a bit.

Well done to Boris - he always has my vote.
BJ for PM! :D

Brilliant Boris. At last, refreshing to see a high profile and well respected MP doing something for those that actually deserve it for a change. Good news, feels more liberating than walking around the garden in the nude on a breezy summers evening.
No doubt Brown and Darling will be feverishly fingering the abacus at Number 11 to find out how many pennies this will cost them. But then they can always blow each other off to lighten the mood.....
BJ for POTUSWell done to Boris - he always has my vote.
BJ for PM! :D
anytime

Fecks sake dont get him into anymore bother!
However this means I will now have to get my hearing test applied for and ensure I get soemthing for all the voices in my left ear!
I have the pension form somewhere!

Surley the SPVA will contact all eligible veterans with their application forms?
Or is that asking to much?
