No respect for our war veterans

The Mail reports that:

"While the U.S. and Canadian governments are also organising events for their own D-Day veterans, both in France and at home, the official British position is so curmudgeonly that it is almost hilarious: there will be no further national commemoration of D-Day until the centenary."

65 years is apparently not worth celebrating, the Labour haters of this Country's history want to wait 35 years until all the D-Day veterans are dead. The Labour government will not spend the money to allow the surviving veterans to attend the commemoration ceremonies in France. The Mail explains:

"The Normandy Veterans Association says that just 500 game old chaps want to return this year. It would cost less than £500,000 to take the whole lot, plus a carer for every man.

Put another way, it would cost taxpayers considerably less than a single year's pension payout to Sir Fred Goodwin, the wrecker of the Royal Bank of Scotland (age: 50). "
