The Civil Service mentality is often beyond comprehension, and their sense of timing appalling.
Quite rightly, the MoD has been roundly criticised for applying to the Court of Appeal to cut the compensation awarded to two British soldiers, amounts which had already been increased by the High Court.
Regardless of the outcome of the case, it is unimaginable that anyone with a brain in government sanctioned this court action, especially on a day when the bodies of four men killed in Afghanistan were brought home. What message does this legal action send to serving soldiers, their relatives and to those men and women thinking of joining the forces?
‘Bronco’ Brown should exercise his prime ministerial authority and order that this action be withdrawn immediately.
