 Our Forces in Uniform have been 'Verbally' Abused, by a certain 'clientel' in our town!!  Our Forces have been Asked to go about in 'Civvies' would you believe  ::) ::)

Why does Everything have to revolve around those type of persons, that 'Abuse' our Service People  ::) ::)
 Being Totally Confused on this issue, I always thought that The Law??   Defends Those Innocent People!!!
 No Argument accepted here!!  The Law Protects The Criminals. -- I'm sure I have that Correct  ::) ::) ::)

Gorden Brown has said they must wear their uniform and be proud to do so.............I for once agree !
whats next nurses cant wear their uniforms
and postmen,etc etc...crackpots

I don't think that the Services need to be told by 'Brown' that they must wear their Uniform and be Proud??
 Those people in The Forces, have Earned that Right!!
 The Fight?? Should be Against those that Abuse 'Human Rights' of Our own people!!

I must admit I found it a bit odd when I heard on the news about the verbal abuse some of the lads were getting - to some extent I can see that in some areas they might be some security dangers but generally speaking I'm sure they are all proud to be wearing the uniform - The idiots who abuse them need to stop and think about who is protecting their tiny insignificant world for them against terrorists etc - they should be relieved that people want to take the Queens shilling.  I visit London around twice a year and as an ex soldier the one thing that really annoys me is when tourists start tormenting the sentries on duty - if they do it while I'm there I give them some verbals and point out to them that they could get arrested for their actions - that usually gives then a shock.   But that's life nowadays.......

Our Town of peterborough, is sure getting in the news lately??I know when I went in, 37 years ago come Monday, We was all proud to do 'our bit' just as 'they' are today!!
There is a certain element of people, that have to upset/destroy, all the standards of many years??
 I used to hate seeing the so called Tourists, as you say, Tormenting the Guards on Duty??-- As each decade goes by, more and more 'problems' arise because of 'trouble makers' that have absolutly no Respect for Othere's??

In our day we would get a good clip round the ear and then another one off your parents not that anyone would do it in the first place.The parents need to be sent to parent classes because they obviously cant get it right !

My Post on the 14th. should read - 57 years ago not 37??
Had a Senior Moment  ::) ::) --

Mac, This is 2008?? --- P.C. and Sueing are The Words of Today??-- Don't forget that 'Common Sense' has Died??
 Who would Pay, for the parents classes IF?? they even went, which would be accepting that they 'Obviously Can't get it Right'  ::) ::) What do parents need to kmow ?????

They still aren't allowed to wear uniform in public, its disgraceful.

Reading these posts, it has dawned on me thatI havnt seen anyone in uniform for a long while.
I live near a large RAF base and frequently saw service personel. I will make enquiries tonight

They have to keep quiet about being in the services too. My Sarah has just joined the RAF but everything else about her job is classified and she has also been told to keep quiet about being in the RAF, well I'm her mum and I'm proud of it so the least I can do is support her and the RAF.

Well good for you Val
pity the rest of the clountry isnt like you
stand up and be proud !!!

ER!! Can anyone tell me what a Policeman's Uniform looks like ???   I might be getting mixed up with a Traffic Wardens ??? ------
 Are we all 'ashamed' of our people to be wearing their Uniforms ?? -- Is there No Respect and Pride left for them ?????????????

Don't mention policemen, they all look like kids and no I can't tell the difference either between the police and traffic wardens uniform, we also have community police now that look like the real thing but don't have powers of arrest or something.

He!!  He!!   Looks like it's all dress rehersal time??
 Except for those in our Armed forces!!
 Community Police ?? I believe  a Boy Drowned, because those (police) had Not Received Safety Training ??
The mind 'Boggles' -- A Boy Needed HELP!!
 YEP!!  No Powers of Arrest????????????????????
