More details
Our soldiers deserve a better pay package than what they are currently doing There are plenty of other government jobs out there that pay alot better for
example traffic warden gets paid £20,000p.a school teachers starting off at £24,000 fire service starting off at £24,000 British soldier starts off at £16,000 and puts their life at risk to defend this country so the likes of the teachers can go on strike demanding they want more money because its hard teaching kids for the police service wanting compensation for having stones thrown at them and being away from home for three days during the London riots and the government gives in These soldiers go out and teach the afghan army how to defend their country and some of these are turning around and shooting our soldiers they go out for a patrol in afghanistan and getting rpgs bullets and ieds fired at them and are away from home for at least 6 months at a time. So please support our troops properly.
