    I spent 22 years in the Army, some of the accommodation I spent in as a single soldier was shocking, no heating in the winter and cold showers. I remember going to bed early just to keep warm, absolutely shameful and shocking. What rubs me up the wrong way when illegals complain when their room and food isn't good enough.

      They would not do that. They would want someone else's sons or daughters to fight for them. They will sit and sleep in their homes. warm and safe places. But I can guarantee they will go out and protest calling the service men and women killers. Seen it all before, even politicians the likes of Corbyn would be out there calling. But he will not get his hands dirty. MIltary are used and third class citizens. Firefighters go on strike who do they call in. The military. The paramedics go on strike who do they call the military. Cheap labour. Get paid less than the firefighters and paramedics. What should happen? If these two groups go on strike the service men and women should be paid the same rate as the people they are covering for. Floods the military is called in. Over COVID-19, the military was called in to help. Did the servicemen and women get a clap for helping no. Did they get extra money, No? they just get on with the job at hand. They could not work from home like many people did. Whilst still undermined. The foot soldiers are short by 10k-20k or even more.

    I remember a tour of Bosnia under NATO. We lived on a concrete floor under vehicles in icy conditions in Zetra Stadium for six weeks. Our next accommodation was a derelict hotel where human sewage was leaking in the shower blocks. Adding insult to injury, our wages were reduced because we no longer got the overseas allowance that we had , from being stationed in Germany. And then the payment by NATO to UK troops was not paid, but kept by the UK Government. We were financially worse off for the 12 month tour!! We didn't complain......we got on with the job.

    When I served (at one point at Benson) we had a very simple system. 14 men to a room and you had six foot by 8 foot, one wardrobe and one bedside locker. It was spotless and God help you if you didnt keep it spotless. HOWEVER, all stations had a public services department who kept the plumbing sorted, the roof fixed and the showers and rooms hot. Same in the housing for married personnel. Houses were kept in good order by the people in them and the public works department. Problems started when they privatised the public works.

    Let’s not forget that the military can not strike, they have to pay to live in those squalid conditions, they are signed up to serve 24/7 so not working for a fortune if you work it out they are on less than the minimum wage. What a shame we don’t take care of our serving military personnel the same as we do for the illegal immigrants who don’t pay for their accommodation and food. Our military step up to the tyranny around the world even loosing some of their lives or live with horrendous disfigurement but the masses invading our country are not prepared to do the same for their own.
