In 1999 when this letter was written, Manchester United won the European cup.
Today, nearly a decade later United fans are waiting to see if their team (on circa £50K per week each) can repeat that glorious hour.
Former prisoners of the Japanese are still waiting for a reply to
Since the end of World War Two, former prisoners of the Japanese and their supporters have been lobbying for fair compensation and pensions.
The suffering inflicted on POWs by the Japanese was criminal and against the rules of war according to the Geneva Convention.
Beheadings, forced labour, inhumane punishments, poor hygiene, and regular starvation were witnessed and/or experienced first hand by almost all of the allied service men and women captured by the Japanese.
For more than sixty years the dwindling army of survivors have banged their heads against the metaphorical brick wall of ‘international relationships’ sake for recognition and acknowledgment of their claims.
Many went to paupers graves unsatisfied that their own government as well as the Japanese government and world community just did not or do not care.
Those that still live today still deserve to win this final battle, a battle which has made them admittedly bitter and angry. They will as always keep fighting to the bitter end.
Like one famous British officer once said when walking with a white flag towards the enemy to surrender.
“This is stupid, let’s go back!”
Let’s go back to remembering what our government , the British government, is there for, and who put them there.
Let’s go back and review these broken promises and Lies!
LET US REMEMBER THEM
LET US ALSO REMEMBER whose grandchildren vote.
AND
WE BID YOU TO REMEMBER what message this sends out to the cannon fodder of the future.
