Blair caught lying to troops

Thousands of British troops including SAS soldiers have been 'cynically betrayed' after frontline allowances were reduced behind their backs.

The cuts have been uncovered by The Mail on Sunday less than a fortnight after Tony Blair and Ministers boasted they were paying tax-free bonuses of £2,240 to soldiers in danger zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.

But now a change in allowances when troops are separated from their families means those deployed on two six-month tours over two years will have their payments reduced from £6,679 before tax to £4,338, a loss of £2,341.

It wasn’t too long ago that he said that troops wouldn’t have to pay tax on their wages and now he reduces their wages so it’s the same as it was anyway.

Blair has betrayed our hardworking brave troops and expects them to fight in terrible conditions in a foreign land just so he can cosy up to Bush.

Sooner or later our army is going to be so sick of the exploitation that most will quit and we won’t have an army to speak of but that’s what Labour wants. Since they have got into power they have literally destroyed our armed forces and have no remorse for doing so. Shot these traitors out wherever you find them at the next elections.
