In yet another well thought out move, the New Labour Government has found an ingenious way to boost the morale of our soldiers in the front line in Afghanistan.
Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth has launched a legal challenge in the Court of Appeal to slash compensation payments to 2 soldiers injured in the line of duty.
What a great message this is to send to our armed forces - put yourself in harms way for your country, suffer a wound or injury and the State will do everything in it's power to make sure you don't get adequate compensation for what may be a life changing event
It is unbelievable that a Government could make such a crass and insensitive move at a time when our armed forces are suffering such high casualties.
New Labour has made great play about future “Tory Cuts” if there is a change of government next year.
Well at least we now know where the New Labour is trying to save money – at the expense of our wounded servicemen and women.
