Exactly who is "persecuting" them mein freund?

As a true Labour man and one who keeps abreast of the times ----you really should know the answer to your question.
We Veterans certainly know the answer.

Starmer Hermer and Shiner have all been complicit in bringing false claims by Iraqis (including fabricated evidence) against British soldiers. This is on top of the witch hunt against soldiers (including my late brother who was in the Parachute Regiment) who served in Northern Ireland. Shiner himself made illegal payments to induce false claims to be made. The least politicians can do when they send troops to defend this country is to have their backs. Labour are guilty not only of failing to defend this country but failing our armed forces.

I think the Tories were probably the worse culprits Sir Outwood but politics aside, if the government of the day does not support our Armed Forces who will?

Any government which does not back its airmen, sailors and soldiers in or out of warfare is lamentable in my own opinion.

Starmer seems to me to be particularly proactive in suing our soldiers for doing their jobs in whatever theatre of war they are placed in.
