Sorry Boggy - I dont want to pour cold water on your best intentions. But I would find my time better spent by lobbying my MP to better care for the services.
To be honest I didn't think I was posting anything that would create such negative response, just wanted to help raise awareness if I could for their charity. Can understand all opinion's thou. Just does my head in that our government can't look after their own yet can find what seems endless amount's of money for people who don't belong here to pounceBoggy

Boggy - the negatives aren't negative about helping out I'm sure, more to do with 1. The Govt. should use our tax better for these guys 2. Some ways of raising money are better/more direct than others and 3. there are other ways of helping that don't involve cash. BUT I applaud you bringing it up and at least making people talk/think about it - these guys face life and death decisions and consequences every day with a lack of support that would sink a modern business in litigation in a New York second.
More worthwhile to post something like this than the latest celeb gossip/spin rubbish the majority of Joe Public lap up in my opinion.

The point that most of us are making is the government should live up to thier responsibilities. They make damn sure that our responsibilities are nailed to us hard and fast. It is about time that the british govt took its responsibilities seriously. It is they who put these guys in harms way against the wishes of the british public and now they wont support them through thier convalesence.
It is the responsibility of the british government so perhaps it could save a little money mortgaging the NHS, public transport and the caning that the motorist takes to do thier job
This may sound heartless to the injured soldiers who need our help and you are right, it is, I am sure that confronted with the realities of these guys pain I would crumble very quickly and hand over all I could. Untill then ...
Most of us are sick of this stupid war with the mindless killings (on both sides) and you have seen the indifference from us to the whole subject.
