A Disgrace

It is a Disgrace that our Service People had to but with 15 days as Hostages in Iran, and after their return when we live in a 24 hours news cycle to expect the story to go away, of course they sold their stories why not, they have right to earn from such a dreadful act. But it is typical of our society that we make people heroes then we want to bring them down to earth. The news for the past couple of days has been critical of the act, decent people can have different views on the subject, but was really annoys me is that although the Secretary of State at the MOD took the blame he did so in a way which placed the Navy as the first target. Views is calling for the Resignation of the Secretary of State, he was missing in action while the debated lasted for days, time to clean house and have a full investigation in to how our people where taken and the mess that followed. That is the problem when you have a PM on the way out, this has been noted by the media, time for the PM to go befor the elections in Wales and Scotland. The Helm needs a 24 hour leader not a leader looking for his place in History, that place is Iraq.
