When a D-Day veteran says you have let the country down. You should resign. These men watched their colleagues die, they experienced horrors. I don't think Rishi has a clue what they went through and to be honest, he doesn't care. Not interested, just interested in money.

Andy is right, as we remember those who have passed and given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country, it is time the UK Government stood up and ended this injustice.
Our nuclear test veterans are victims of a Whitehall cover-up at least as serious as infected blood.
