Wounded British servicemen were jeered as they used a public swimming pool?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/2007/11/23/wounded-soldiers-in-pool-row-89520-20149599/
The men, injured during tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, were taking part in a rehabilitation session at a leisure centre, when two women demanded they be removed from the pool.

How do you stop that abusive woman from drowning?

Take your foot off her head.

Remove the women

Nice to see these women are enjoying their "Freedom" to shout abuse at service personnel which was bought and paid for by the blood and sacrifice of British Servicemen and Service women.

I know a few places in the world where she would not be so lucky to open her fat gob!!

Name and Shame her!!!

That's really sad. Handicapped and especially those who became so as soldiers should be accepted and certainly not "removed".

In this case I would have gladly held the two woman under water without a second thought.

That woman should have been severely beaten just as women were in Afghanistan before the U.S. and the Brits cleaned up that craphole of a country.

a disgraceful thing to happen, these men could have been wounded here in Britain defending us from terrorists......i am sure they did not choose to be in Iraq and Afghanistan but must go where the politicians send them.

There's not much I can say about this article that's actually printable.

I will simply put that I have printed out the article and will be sending a copy to my lad - deployed in Afghanistan - so he can pass it round.

I am disgusted, the son of an old comrade of mine was wounded in Afghanistan, serving in the same Regiment I served with his father. To think it could have been him in that pool insulted by those losers makes me livid, as it indeed makes me livid even if I do not know those lads, any soldier is a "brother"

this is a disgrace and should be a criminal offence.

That is disgusting. We should be showing these brave boys our support. Those two "women" should be ashamed of themselves.

This just goes to show what people are like these days, they cannot even be pleasant to one another and as for upsetting the children ... rubbish .. children are more robust than people give them credit for .. this is half the reason why this country is in this state... this consent need to protect them from everything all the time, if they never see the world they never develop common sense and they become so introverted glued to computer games and stuck in the house all the time.

People expect the world these days and woe betide anyone who upsets this, even if they cannot help it .... can you imagine these people living in 1940's Britain... they would not know where to look

I am horrified that anyone no matter where would treat injured military personnel with such rudeness and crass behavior. The Leisure center should have offered the women who were so "upset" a refund of their money as asked them to leave. I would hope people aren't getting back into the habit of blaming the soldiers. All they do is follow orders and they are paying prices so high their lives will never be the same. The center needs to apologize to the soldiers for not ousting the women.

Yes I read something of this in a copy of the Daily Express I found on a train yesterday here in London. There are some really sad people about, and most of them seem to be living in Surrey - the Greed Belt.

If you let kids meet up with wounded soldiers, they quickly form a bond and there is an immediate understanding. I just do not understand parents who are scared their kids might get to see a wounded soldier at the baths. These men are our soldiers, wounded in battle, they deserve our utmost respect.

God bless them all, every one.


Hi T
If it was a rehabilitation session. What were the two women doing there any way. They should have been removed.
What a display of a lack of tolerance or mercy towards your fellow country men heroes no less.


Laura B
well if it did happen - damn those people to hell, but personally i think this is more media bull$hit
i bet they were obese mothers of chavs

totally agree with dan. lol

our boys and girls are sticking their lifes on the line on a daily bascis for us back at home. its dissapointing to know that there are such small minded people in this country. we should be proud of our servicemen and women. i sure am.

it takes a special kind of person to place themselves in harms way on purpose. hats off to them.


rowdy
I'd have thrown the women out.

Abusing our armed forces is the stupidest thing we can do - one day they'll say "sod it, we're not doing this any more - defend yourselves".


dec
what you must read in this is that the swimming pool was in surrey. wich is the most stck up place in this country. if terorists (ie, the government) got their hands on nukes and dropped em on britain, lets hope that they drop on on surrey, big enough so that it only devistates surrey. i used to live their and the arrogance of the majority of residence of the county is astonishing. they are so stuck up and think that they are better than anyone else. they dont understand the soldiers sacrifice.

So what? Who cares of their comments? You often see women like this with their 'care managers'. Their
managers or partners look similar but they dont wear large hooped gold ear rings. They normally scream and shout at their own kin.

If it's true, it's disgusting. But what is your question?

So whats your question?

Why use a general term like "servicemen" when you can use a more specific term like "invaders".
