The Government has bowed to pressure and urged local councils to give troops a proper welcome home.

The move came after an investigation by The Daily Telegraph revealed that despite an appeal from the head of the Army, none of the thousands of soldiers returning this autumn would receive welcome home parades.

Nearly 13,000 troops are set to return from arduous six-month tours in Iraq and Afghanistan between now and November.

Not one local authority out of more than a dozen contacted by The Daily Telegraph was organising an event.


Well done The Daily Telegraph, We simply cannot wait to see how the scumbag councils in charge of East Ham (Newham) Bow Stepney and Whitechapel (Tower Hamlets) Southall (Ealing) To name but a few will handle this hot potato!!

We can hear the shrieks of indignation and the pots of black paint for the protest banners being opened by the locals as we write this

A lot of their residents seem to love living in the UK, but do not seem support its actions at all, how very strange,

After all the whole point of emigrating to a country is to embrace its values and aims isn’t it? or is there another more appealing reason?
