If anyone in the UK is under the illusion that Veterans are treated with dignity and respect please
take a look at the following links.

How this man can be refused entry to this country because he has "failed to demonstrate strong ties with the UK" is beyond me.

He holds the Victora Cross, the highest honour this nation can bestow and this government "Neue Arbeit" refuses to help in his old age.

We spend billions each year helping criminals, druggies and sundry scum and yet cant seem to find a few bob to help a brave man.

As an ex-Stafford and total cynic do i detect an underlying policy by HMG not to set a precedent in helping Veterans of our nations wars. God forbid they might have to actually do something for past and present servicemen.

I could rant all day about the "Stasi" that run this country and its policy of breaking the British Army but i would ask you all especially the Brits to support the campaign to get Mr Pun to England for his last few years.
