Lest we forget
Let us remember all the brave men and women who have served(and the current bunch as well) this country both in our times of great need (war) and at peace. (at home and overseas)
Lest we forget their service given freely and with pride, and lest we forget those who have paid the greatest price for our freedoms.

Hull and the Blitz's. The forgotten city (Updated)
After London one city was the most heavily bombed by area and during WW2 was called a northern eastern coastal city. Yes that was Hull. But why?
Let's see 2014 and 1940/41 Hull was/is home to a busy and nationally important
port critical to national interests then and now. And the Germans had to put us
Out of action. And had a easy job finding us after all we are bang smack on the Humber with the river Hull we may have had a big sign saying bomb here. And we even suffered from bomb also meant for the likes of Leeds if pilots could not find it and when they where dumping bombs to lighten loads/fleeing the RAF

Hull has the last remain civilian bomb damaged city in the UK and unless I ma remembering my history wrong, the last bomb raid on the UK occurred in Hull. And we also had the horrible honour of suffering the first daylight raid on mainland UK at Salts end
Facts and figures
Hull had the pleasure of spending over 1000 hours under alert. I can't Imagen spending that long under that level of threat. I mean 152000 people were made homeless and 95% of the housing stock was either damaged or destroyed.

Is the Goverment right about cutting the HM armed Forces? NO
A very simple question.
Is it a good idea to be cutting the armed forces?
I would/will say no

I would/will say no
We live in an uncertain world. At the same time we are reducing our forces other rouge nation are increasing theirs.What sort of message does this send them?
Simple
They are getting stronger while we are getting weaker 82,000 soliders can not do the same as 102,000 can they. Not only does this weaken our defence it weaken our hand dipomatical as well. We will struggle to enforce thing like no fly zones. And let not forget the US are reducing their armed force.
We live in an uncertain world we nothing is certain expect that rouge nation are getting stronger. Our weakened armed force sends out the wrong signal.
