So two coroners have criticised the Government over the deaths of three soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

According to the BBC 'Oxford assistant coroner Andrew Walker accused the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of "a breach of trust" over the death of Capt James Philippson.'

and

'Meanwhile, Wiltshire coroner David Masters called for a review of armed forces funding after the deaths of two soldiers in Iraq.'

So now that coroners have stated these deaths were linked to lack of equipment that soldiers had access to and the blame is set squarely with the Government and the ex Chancellor, our current incumbent of number 10.

Should this character we now have as Prime minister, be classed as fit for office with these deaths hanging over him??

I think responsibility lies totally with the Labour Government and somebody should carry the can - sending brave guys into battle with inadequate equipment feels tantamount to murder

I really couldn't agree more with you!

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the current combat situations our Boys and Girls are in, they should be equipped with the best that this country can provide - all the time!
