Corporal John Rigby of "The Rifles"


The Rifles have suffered another loss of a brave soldier. Corporal John Rigby has died of injuries received when a road bomb exploded as his unit was returning from patrol on Friday.

Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Sanders, Cpl Rigby's Commanding Officer said his battalion was "utterly heartbroken".

He said: "The death of any soldier is a tragedy and in death all are equal, but there are some whose loss is particularly hard to bear. "The force of their personality, their personal and professional qualities and the love, respect and popularity they inspire set them apart. Corporal John Rigby was such a man. "We are utterly heartbroken. But we are also unbowed, tough and determined: John would have it no other way."

I am sure our hearts go out to his family and friends and to his twin brother who is also serving in The Rifles and was at his brother bedside when he passed away from his wounds.

We want Our Boys home. We do not care what happens to Iraq and Afghanistan. They can kill each other in their thousands, we do not care, so long as British lives are not lost in an illegal war. A war started by a man who now flees from office but will never flee the wrath of a British National Party government and the BNP members and supporters. Your can read more about The Rifles here.

Major Paul Harding of "The Rifles"


Blair has cost Our Country another good man in his illegal war. This further sad loss is Major Paul Harding, a company commander in the superb 4th Battalion "The Rifles".

Maj Harding had been in Basra just under a month before he was killed. On one of his first days there, the base was attacked by over 200 armed militia who tried to overrun the building. Maj Harding led the defence, which fired 9,000 rounds during the four-hour operation.

That pitiful excuse for a man, defence secretary, Des Browne, said in the Guardian;

"Major Paul Harding was an exemplary soldier; brave, courageous, and committed. He was respected by his peers and loved by those who worked for him. I am sincerely saddened to learn of his loss, and my thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time."

Those weasel words will not save him or his master, the liar Blair when the British People see them go on trial for War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity. I only hope that the Death Sentence is restored by then.

You can read an account of a previous heroic action by "The Rifles" by following the link here.

This Government has said that they intend to remain in Iran and Afghanistan for as long as it takes. If you really want to bring Our Boys home, then start supporting the British National Party and voting and supporting the BNP at every opportunity.
