War memorials are desecrated by looters



SCORES of memorials to Britain's brave war dead have been desecrated by callous looters and vandals
Brass statues and plaques bearing the names of the fallen are being ripped from their fittings and melted down so they can be flogged for SCRAP.
At least THREE treasured monuments are looted, vandalised or destroyed every WEEK. The sick thefts are fuelled by the rising price of metals during the recession. Read More HERE







Sadly in the UK this behaviours has been going on for years, it is only because of the looming Remembrance day that the media has picked up on this disgusting act again. It says “Their Name Will Liveth On.” but not on these War memorials that have been stolen for their scrap metal value as once the names are gone they are GONE forever. People risk doing this because any punishment would be pathetic and so it will continue. There are some Countries in the world where this will not happen as the punishment would be the ultimate one. I would suffice with cutting their hands off and branding them on their foreheads the word THIEF. We have no right to call ourselves Great Britain any longer as we have failed our most precious citizens.

BBC DOCUMENTARY AND WHY IM NOT INVOLVED


(Goose Green dead which the BBC may have contributed to)

One noteable incident was that the BBC World Service announced the taking of Goose Green before it actually happened. This broadcast may have forewarned the Argentines to the impending attack, and was seen as an act of disloyalty by many in the British military. Indeed, at one point, Lieutenant-Colonel Jones even threatened to lead the prosecution of senior BBC officials for treason. 





I was recently contacted by the BBC to ask if I was interested in taking part in a documentary which would have included me bringing one of my children back to the Falkland Islands and retracing my steps through the War. There are a number of reasons why I declined the BBCs offer. Firstly I do not like the BBC for Jailing  our citizens for not paying their TV licenses. I can understand the reason for having a driving license or a firearms license, but why should we subsidise a television company when all other networks have to raise capital via advertising? It also adds insult to injury that I have to pay for a corporation that supports a political party (Labour). I’m sure it would equally incense Socialist if the BBC was biased towards the Tories, they quite simply should be impartial. Imagine the outcry if Sky TV was a Champion of the BNP? Apparently there are even Convicted Criminals working for the BBC  I think its even more important in these harsh economic times that the BBC is forced to scrap the license fee as it’s a tax on all of society including the poor. To think that you can get away with a slap on the wrist for punching a policeman, but do jail time for not having a license to watch ONE particular station on your TV is in its self criminal. Also Im sure that if I had decided to go back to the Falklands with the BBC they would have edited  what I said to fit their political agenda, i.e. made it seem I was against the War when the truth is I was and I’m 100% behind the liberation of the Falklands Island from a bunch of jack booted Fascist thugs , that took delight in throwing their political opponents out the back of aircraft overt the South Atlantic. It will be interesting see if any Paratroopers appear in this documentary?   Some may totally disagree with me and that’s their choice the same as it was the BBCs choice to put our soldiers lives in jeopardy at  Goose Green  This is my choice.

Argentine Navy captain ‘Angel Face’ Astiz sentenced to life imprisonment



Two notorious former Argentine navy officers Alfredo Astiz and “Tigre” Acosta were sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday night after being found guilty of kidnapping, torture and the forced disappearances of many detainees in the former Navy School of Mechanics (ESMA) during the last dictatorship (1976/1983). As the sentence was read in the courtroom the crowd waiting outside celebrated and cheered which almost caused it to be suspended.
Astiz, who was also known as the baby faced “death angel” acted under the false identity of Gustavo NiƱo, infiltrated the works of the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in 1977 and “marked” his victims, who were later tortured at the ESMA and thrown alive into the sea from helicopters. Read the rest  HERE



This just proves once again that the War in 1982 to retake the Falkland Islands from these fascist monsters was a just and right War. They should have been thrown out of the back of an aircraft like many of their victims.
