  • BFPO Threat of Closure

    This will be of interest to those of you who so very kindly sent parcels to Snowdrop and others out in Theatre.

    >>>>
    Please see below a petition to keep the British Forces Post Office from closing. This means that all free post (under 2kgs) to Afghan will be stopped amongst other things.

    Below is a quote from Sky News.
    "When the servicemen and women of our country are fighting and dying for this government's dubious honour, it treats them with the contempt it has shown across the board," he said. "The BFPO has for decades provided a lifeline that is utterly vital in maintaining moral and now they want to cut it. "MPs have granted themselves £7,000 a year postage - but they seem to be happy to put extra costs on service families. How typical, how venal, how vile."

    Please sign the petition.

              I'll be signing from the e-mail address I usually use (if I can get to it that way) and sending it to all my non-vine friends. I've also put it on facebook, and hope it gets a wider audience that way!

                  Hubby and I have both signed up. On the news today was information about postage and admin claims made by MSPs, a Conservative claimed £30,000 (one h*ll of a lot of stamps). His fellow Conservative MSP claimed less than £150.
