In The Know	All over Britain soldiers / regiments are "exercising their right" by marching in towns and cities ... is a sad and desperate attempt to gain public support. This type of exercise (known as KAPE - Keep the Army in The Public Eye - in the military) is often reported to have brought "thousands" onto the streets and there are frequent reports of towns being brought to a standstill. I have yet to see any evidence of this ... camera angles are deliberately acute so you cannot see how many people are actually there, and of the few who appear to be, most have (surprisingly similar) "flags" and "placards" of support (plants !)
Prunella Minge	'Jim Callaghan an excellent janitor'!
JK2006	Fascinating - after that I learnt to spell Independent!
Prunella Minge	Here's a blast from the past (1978), with a spookily topical message!

What Brown, Cameron and the rest mean is "we hope our abject praise about dead soldiers wins us some respect and admiration from voters". There is not one fraction of a second of sincerity in any of their weasel words. And if they really think we are so stupid as to believe it, they ought not to be in power. Any of them. "Our soldiers are doing a wonderful job..." No they are not. They are killing people and should be ashamed of themselves. Completely agree on the fake sincerity but the soldiers are doing their utmost best to limit any civilian casualties to as little as possible. They are getting food and aid to hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan who were neglected, isolated and abused by the Taleban and other than the very occasional bad egg, show far more guts and courage than you or I ever could.
