    I have just discovered that the Government are planning to end the availability of the British Forces Post Office system in mainland Europe.
    This system allows the use of UK postal rates when sending mail to forces personnel based in mainland Europe. The removal will mean that family of service personnel will have to pay full international rates on mail to serving soldiers sailors and airmen.

    I have a son currently based with the army in Germany, so I have a vested interest in maintaining the BFPO as it stands.

    There is an online petition open on the Prime Minister's website where you can sign up to oppose this move.

    If you believe, as I do, that this should not happen please log on and sign the petition. And also please pass this link on to as many people as you can.

    Please show your support to our service personnel and their families.

    Neil

    I've signed it.

    Do you know, the way the government is treating our armed forces I don't understand why they don't just say enough is enough and go on strike. I know legally they can't, but logistically speaking, what could anyone do if they all did it?

    I've signed and sent it to everyone I can think of. Our armed forces are being treated abominably by our government. We should be supporting these guys and girls.
