I've signed this petition and feel very strongly that the people of Wootton Bassett are not put through this.
I used to live in Wootton Bassett when I was in the RAF, based at RAF Lyneham and it is a small, friendly town with, understandably, a huge number of ex-military living there.
If anyone wants to go one step further and support a couple of friends of mine who are taking part in a 500 mile walk to raise money for the charity "Honour Our Troops" then please go to the following link to donate via paypal.
http://www.honour-our-troops.com/page.php?id=75My friend Pauline has completed the first 7 days of the walk doing between 20-25 miles each day in the recent weather. Her son (Luke) is carrying on to do the whole 500 miles as he wants to do something before he joins the Army in the near future.
We often get sidelined (for very good reason) by the people in our society who make us want to spit (amongst other things) and this can sometimes be at the cost of those people who are doing fantastic stuff out there - our troops amongst very many others.
