Peeps need to read what it says on the tin - in 6pt Times Roman smudged italic.

Don't forget the Falklands War TLC. In fact, if you follow the example of the Chief Constable of Northants, you could claim that you were there. What a delusional prat! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...g%20was%20told.

This absolute disgrace of the highest order! How dare he claim all that?

Hand him over to some army/naval vets who were really there, who went through it all and lost their mates and let him explain he was there at 15 years of age. The deceitful b.astard and a top ranking copper at that!
