That everyone has a story to tell and there are opinions on those stories, like it or lump it, that's the way it is !Teflon Jnr wrote:Well first Sarge I'd like to thank you for your service I have a family member who has suffered greatly due to service and other members who served also for our country I find it a direct insult to my family when someone blatantly has disregard for our family's loss and turmoil. And for our soldiers who serve everyday.but I suppose it's OK as long as your Scottish and have a one sided opinion maybe we should fly the scottish/moto al flag instead
Al's opinion is as valid as the next man, does it have any value or credence, well that's another discussion but what makes this country great, and what I believe I fought for was we have a freedom of choice and a freedom of speech, the moderators on here should take note and you also !!

Wake up Son, no one is saying your stupid but you are being naive ,Al's opinion is far less offensive than others I have encountered over the years. Mention the Falklands anywhere outside of the the Commonwealth and you will get a negative response. Al is a typical gobby, softy Nationalist, he basks in the freedom the UK has given him but rebukes the idea of being British,, he Is Scotttish after all. at a time that Sturgeon thinks there is a right to undo that union? Some may call that hypocrisy and rightly so, but look around you, it happens everywhere and again why? because we are a democracy and that is what every nation in the world strives for !
