David Cameron must ensure our Armed Forces have the resources and manpower to deny Islamic terrorists their safe havens
David Cameron was supposed to have spent yesterday morning delivering his much-delayed speech on the future of Britain’s relationship with Europe.

HOME

The engine roars on the C17
Bringing home another soldier
He was just 18
Liveth on for evermore
He died a Hero in a far away War
Family sob with anguish and grief
Forever in their hearts a place they keep
A son and brother who joined the ranks
Swapped action men for real bullets and tanks
Please don’t cry for me today
For I died a soldier my chosen way
