Aint it great , come back from a 6 month visit to Afghanistan and then you are sent out to clear the snow at Airports!!

I ask what are the people on Community Service- Dole Scroungers doing!!



The poor squaddie is an easy target for this and I believe it has to stop, grateful for others poits of view!!



Im an ex Squaddie and in my service, I was a Dustman, Fireman, Ambulance Driver, Tanker Drivers mate, Airport Security.

apc2010 where are you stationed m8t )





Its my views that people who are able to work should be given a clocking in CARD on duty and at times on call for the local council. No show up, No doshhh..Why has no one ever thought of this as YET ) Far too many soft doctors is my guess !

Could not agree with you more Spider!!



Benefit People could make a positive impact on life in UK if only it was harnessed correctly., clearing parks, cleaning graffitti - as guarantee they are related to someone who did it anyway. Clearing roads after storms assisting other organisations, instead of going to bookies and bingo!!



I know that there are a lot of people who have been on benefits and hated it, I am not having a go at you, just the scroungers, etc.

i totally agree with out of work people been made to work for benefits but will they make all of them do the work. what i mean is in uk you cant mention ethnic majorities or asylum seekers they dont have to obey and we cant talk about it because freedom of speech only applies to them the law only applies to us

Sky TV News quote, "BAA refused military assistance". Apparently the BAA resources are adequate and snow clearance is a 'specialised' task. Military spared of this civic duty. I suspect Richard Dannatt was relieved at this, not least the poor squaddies who would have had to forego some of their well-deserved Christmas leave period.

I doubt they're putting regulars on R&R out to clear snow. These are reservists fer sure.
