]]> Mon, 4 Jan 2010 09:49:29 UTC 6772545 Mr Chris Barker [Signature #149] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6771455?utm_medium=rss At school, I was in the CCF, having passed exams in Cert A & B and Elementary and Advanced Gunnery. Throughout my younger life I knew that I might be called up in times of conflict. Happily this did not happen. People in our and later generations do not realise how lucky they are not to have to fight. Councillors seem to have missed the point. Our brave serving (volunteer) soldiers should be allowed to parade in Epsom, so that the rest of us can honour their commitment.

These councillors do not represent my views. I strongly hold the view that these army units should be recognised & given the Freedom of the Borough. I will not be voting for my Nonsuch Ward councillor again.

Myself along with several other soldiers who also live in the local area fail to see how the regiment is not 'local' enough and think the regeiment deserves the freedom of Epsom.

The Epsom Council must grant these troops Freedom of the Borough and allow them to parade in Epsom.

Perhaps they should go and fight on the front line. Our heroes are fighting for our freedom from terrorist attacks. If there was ever a cause to petition for this is it. It makes me sick
to the core. Who puts these muppets in post to speak on our behalf.

In any case it shows disloyalty to our fellow citizens who are putting their all on the line so that the local councillors may indulge at peace in their nefarious and hedonistic activities. We should all stand up for their courage and place the likes of Corporal Beharry on a plinth.

If appointed councillors are not prepared to make a positve committment to the members of our armed forces, then it is my belief that those councillors are not fit for purpose and should resign their position.

I am disgusted that one of my residents association councillors at least has spoken out to reject this proposal. Our forces should have our support no matter what the rights or wrongs of this war, they are putting their lives on the line. Local councillors should not have the right to get involved in serious politics. As I said before, perhaps they can all be given a guided tour of Headley Court.

These people must be mad, traitors or members of the Taliban! the country supports our troops so let them march! they've suffered injury, mental and physical scares they deserve to be honoured, even so with Hedley Court down the road!

I cannot believe that there are people against this proposal, our men and women are out protecting us and deserve a good home coming (if they are lucky enough to come home).

Everyone in our country including councils that are part of the government who send our troops to war in the first place should show respect for the troops. They should be shown what life is like on the front line before they try and stop our troops parading to celebrate their achievement on the front line.

I do not agree with the decision to go to war in Iraq, and I am unsure about the other conflict either.
This should not play a part in the decision to pay tribute to brave young men and women who are out there.
To deny a Surrey Regiment the honour of the Freedom of my Town reeks of spite and political malice.
