    Our Nick was not there in an official capacity. The salute is taken by the Mayor, he just likes to hang around the side to show he is there and to take tea.
    Coaching done, training done - now she's just got to go out and do it. Brighton Marathon off you go.

    Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts.

    If he is entitled then why not? So long as they keep claims legal and within reason I have no problem with it. Personally I claim for everything I can - why shouldn't he.

    PS. I used a military vehicle to attend last years Remembrance Service because I didn't want to use my own fuel.

    And I presume you had to be there in an official capacity. He did'nt. What he did was as bad (only in my opinion) as someone in the TA volunteering to go on a rememberance parade and then expecting to get paid for it.

    But heho in this do as I say and not as I do society I suppose I should withdraw to my shed.

    This gentleman should be ashamed of him self this is disgraceful . My little niece the other day gave her £2 pocket money for help for heroes because they had bady legs. So if a little girl understands this , then a minister should know right from wrong

    Only £2. A bloody outrage!

    No doubt, he was acting within the rules.
    Political correctness, A discredited and dogmatic ideology, the antithesis of free speech,
    championed only by those who stand to gain from division and disunity.
