Perhaps you would like to start the New Year by doing something good.

MOD UK, in their wisdom, have announced that they are planning to withdraw their support from St. George's Chapel in 2016. Here's some info www.bbm.org.uk/BHchapel.htm

To cut a long story short, the chapel was built specifically to commemorate "The Few" and some of the faceless MOD civil servants, the same ones that only a month ago spent 2 minutes remembering the fallen, are planning to remove support and close it down unless a sponsor can be found.

I could rant on for pages but if you could spend 2 mins. signing the e petition, it would perhaps stop this sacrilege from going ahead.

After 6 days and 20,000 signatures, the local council has decided that they can support the venture, so job done!
