It’s been known for some time that our troops who are fighting so gallantly out in Afghanistan have inferior equipment compared to those from other countries but HM has now stated “we are not amused” and, unusually for a member of the Royal Family, decided to join the political debate!

I was having a quick squint at The Daily Telegraph online this morning while I was waiting for some work to come in (I work as a home typist) and found an amazing article.  It may not sound particularly amazing but, bearing in mind the Royal Family these days are supposed to be politically impartial, it’s extremely unusual for them to join the fray along with the majority of the British public in a debate regarding the inadequate equipment of our troops to ensure their safety.
