there is the court case taking place today in respect of the injuries to two soldiers and their compensation for injuries. May I suggest that people who are interested look at the web site for the Plymouth Evening Herald.
There is the case of Marine Neil Dunstan where the Ministry of Defence apparently had lost the most recent will of the dead soldier which meant that his fiancee would lose her inheritance because the only will found was one relating to 2004 which did not name her. Furthermore, a vicar apparently said that she could not walk behind the coffin because she could not prove to be 'next of kin'.
Just what is going on. We have had cases in the past where the loved ones of soldiers have had to go to court to prove that the child they are bearing or have had is the result of a loving current relationship with a soldier in order that they have access to the compensation to which they are entitled.
The current High Court cases only go to show how the MoD is working against the interests of the brave soldiers who have to take orders from politicians who should really be ashamed of themselves, including the Prime Minister who has gone missing again. It is not only the physical injury done to our soldiers, it is more the long term damage of stress disorders which will cause problems. The MoD are letting down our military. They must meet their commitments, if they are to send our soldiers to their deaths over a lost mission then they must say that if they are willing to meet the true costs, and the ongoing costs.
