Naturally when it comes to wasting tax payers money, the BBC is right in there grabbing its bit. This politically correct lunatic body, which has taken over one of our national institutions even offered stress counselling to staff involved in the D-Day coverage anniversary of some time ago. The D-Day co-ordinator (why are they always called co-ordinators?) says, " Programme making can be harrowing".
As one old soldier commented " They should try it with bullets." Can you imagine what it would have been like had the BBC been running D-Day for real?

- We're going in now sir.

- Not yet Carruthers. The Sappers haven't finished with the wheelchair access on Omaha beach.

- Wheelchair access sir?

- Yes Carruthers for the differently-abled members of the Royal Marines.

- Who's in the advanced guard sir?

- We're sending in a team of outreach co-ordinators to try to negotiate with the Germans. We've decided to try counselling before we send in the Paras.

- The Parachute Regiment sir?

- No the Paraplegic Support Unit. They're coming over from Omaha beach once the council have been to adapt the latrines.

- What happened to the heavy artillery sir?

- On strike I'm afraid. They're demanding parity with the Lesbian Resource Unit.

- And the Infantry?

- They're on a racism awareness course at Sandhurst for when our lads meet the Germans.

- How are we going to slow a German counter-attack without the big guns?

- Traffic calming, Carruthers. We're building humps on the other side of those sand dunes. Roger before we do have I ever told you how dammed attractive I find you? If we get out of this alive, will you marry me?

Don't forget the rainbow brigade bringing up the rear.
