For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
But Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

& bare faced selfishness in Brown’s Britain reaches new heights …

It is often the first port of call for servicemen and women returning home after being wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. Soldiers who may have lost limbs or suffered severe trauma spend months rebuilding their lives at Headley Court military rehabilitation centre. But when an Armed Forces charity decided to buy a £ 1.7million six-bedroom house nearby so visiting relatives would have somewhere to stay, the well-heeled neighbours in Ashtead, Surrey, launched their own offensive.

They claimed 'additional noise' and 'huge amount of additional traffic' would ruin the peace of the private lane and warned that the value of their multi-million-pound properties would plummet. The families 'would not be welcome', they said, and their arrival could 'destroy the character' of the area. One resident suggested wheelchairs would present a fire hazard.

Now that the final pieces of glassware & crockery in FM Towers have been broken, maybe it is time to think a little more objectively: to promote community relations, the MoD could host a social event to allay local residents fears. Possibly one of 2 Para Mortar Platoons legendary Rohypnol parties. However on further sober reflection & in the light of comments this …

Residents' association chairman Malcolm Webb, a 58-year-old oil executive, denied residents were 'nimbys'. "This is just the wrong place and the wrong property," he said. "Some are concerned - in these awful days when these ghastly terrorists go after the softest targets - about the security situation."

my suggestion is that Ashtead is immediately turned into a FIBUA training area. These people are actually below contempt & its a good moment to recall Peter Pindar's updating of Kipling's 'Tommy'

We aren't made for cool Britannia; we leave boot marks on the floor.
We don't walk like Peter Mandelson or talk like Jack Straw.
Call us forces of conservatism, if it suits your turn
But we're off like some world fire brigade when the flash-points start to burn.

O it's Tommy change your values - now diversity's the game;
But when Christmas leave is cancelled, then whose tyrants are to blame?
There's tyrants in the mountains, boys, and tyrants in the sands,
So farewell to wives & risk your lives for them in foreign lands.
