This man made a huge sacrifice helping to preserve the freedom we have in this country and Europe. How sad that he should end his days like this.
If we didn't spend so much of our taxes coping with every chancer that washes up on our shores, we may be able to afford a first world healthcare system instead of the third world one that we have now. Putting cleaning services out to contract means that you get the cheapest service and the staff are on minimum wage so they won't really put the effort in.
