Say NO to MP's medals
I offer no appologies for this posting but please take a look at this petition you might like to sign up after reading it.
No to medals for MP's
Please pass this link on to everyone in your address book, MP's who visit Afghanistan get a medal. Our boys and girls have to spend sometime in
the theatre and fight in order to qualify for their medals.

signed, didn't realise you could be entitled to a medal for being a thieving, corrupt double dealing low life.
Maybe they should start giving them to convicted convicts as well.

Unbelievable, I love how, when you see them on tv, they're always decked out in full body armour, no equipment shortages for them. They should
drop them in the dessert in a pair of Y fronts & then starting shooting at their feet to make them dance. Best dancer gets a medal. - Petition
Signed!

Signed. I have a couple of medals for my job but feel a bit of a fraud wearing them amongst people who have been to war. God knows why MPs think they
deserve them!

At first it sounded like a load of rubbish. I'm really interested in politics and hadn't heard about this. Did a bit of searching:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/onthefrontline/7006304/MPs-criticised-for-accepting-Mickey-Mouse-medals.html
As you'd imagine, it's more complex than you'd expect. The medal is for being a member of the AFPS (Armed Forces Parliamentary
Scheme, a body which allows politicians to spend around 22 days a year with the military.)
It certainly seems ridiculous to offer a medal. But having said that, anything that encourages our 'career politicians' to have some
exposure to the military seems a good idea. I hate the idea that no one in the cabinet knows anything about war- but it's up to them (in theory!
see Chilcott enquiry) to send men/women to die.
Cheers,
James

I take it you saved lives (Fire Service ?) possibly above and beyond the call, still a worth while reason for a medal.
No fraud in our books.

Member of Parliament
There's been a (rather over-hyped in my opinion) scandal over their expense claims over the last year or so.
As if everyone here has always been 100% honest with the expenses!!! lol!

lsdweb, were them with pride mate.
Having worked in the chemical industry for years and see a few horrors and 'got some in', I would say you had earned them.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Done, they are worse than vermin, they undermine the merit of all the medals given.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Done - just another opportunity for so called public servants to give themselves an undeserved pat on the back!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
