Hallo,
Don't fret, she's just gone on holiday for a couple of weeks, and her
replacement, Philip Hodson from the sunday evening slot is standing in. Worry
not, Anna will be back on the 28/10/96. Meanwhile, I think that Philip is
doing a good job, perhaps they should work together...
Regards,
Paul

Philip Hodson is sitting in for Anna Raeburn for a couple of weeks, while
she's on holiday.

According to Philip Hodson (I think), she was on holiday and having a
(James) Whale of a time.

I think I'd like Anna back - mind you Philip Hodson has been rather good. I
sometimes can't get into the Granny Gimp'-ness of Anna's show, but I found
it very interesting today when they were talking about eating disorders
that most of the callers were male. Do you think Anna puts off a lot of men
from calling with their problems? I feel that PH came across as 'your big
brother' and very approachable - a real asset to TR.
At the risk of being flamed (perhaps by Anna herself) I recently tried to
book her to speak at a meeting I'm organising for next February, her diary
is too full to make it, plus her TR commitment extends at least that far
according to her agent. But have a guess at how much she charges?
£1,500 per hour plus expenses, £1,000 if she 'feels like it' (quote)
Looks like I'm in the wrong business!!

I think the programme was actually about men's eating disorders. Still,
it was interesting how many phoned in. I'm stuffing Pringles dahn me
froat at the moment, so I can't really identify with them.

I like the both of them. It would be nice to hear a bit more of Philip than
just one day a week, I listened to him for a while before he came onto TR, and
certainly as a male, I'd feel more confident about talking to another man
about my problems. That said, I'm quite fond of Anna as a presenter, she knows
the difference between symapathy and common sense! (And she sent me a
Christmas card last year!) I wonder what a show with the two of them together
would be like ?....

Dear Mr Deely I thought you might like to read my recent letter
To the news papers. From a War Pensioner
Poppycock
Dear Sir.
The Royal British Legion will begin their annual poppy appeal soliciting
your readers and asking them to remember the soldiers who laid down
their lives in past wars and to give generously so that they can
continue to help ex-servicemen and especially Disabled War Pensioners
injured in more recent conflicts.
Retired army officers representing The Royal British Legion will also
attend schools up and down the country explaining to the children about
the benevolent work undertaken on behalf of Disabled War Pensioners.
They will use posters and advertisements depicting disabled
ex-servicemen in wheelchairs or some other pathetic representation
knowing that these will gain the most from the publics sympathy.
As a Disabled War Pensioner confined to a wheelchair I would like to ask
your readers to give some thought and consideration towards our feelings
and to ask themselves, who are the real beneficiaries from their
donations.
I get extremely offended by The Royal British Legion inadvertently using
me to get money under this false pretence. They would like your readers
to believe that their help is freely available to War Pensioners and all
one has to do is ask. This could not be further from the truth.
Disabled War Pensioners are required to go through an embarrassing and
contemptuous application process to gain this help, regardless of
whether it is forthcoming or not.
They know that this outdated practice will bring about fewer applicants,
consequently enabling them to spend more money on projects that are
unrelated to helping disabled ex-servicemen.
I would like to bring the following extract from HANSARD to attention of
The Royal British Legion and the Government when section 10 of the crown
Proceedings Act 1947 was introduced.
The then Attorney General said,
A. G. - I ought to add that while the soldier who receives injury on
duty will not be able recover damages in the courts, that does not mean
that he will go uncompensated. If he is injured, and remains in
service, he will get proper medical treatment and care; if he is
invalided out, or dies, he, or his dependants, will have pension rights.
As to that, the capital value of the pension rights in terms of money
is, in general - I am not saying so in every case, because one cannot be
certain in every case, what damages will be awarded -- as valuable as
probable damages which may be recoverable in an action at law, if such
an action lay…
Pension entitlement as I suggested on second reading will in most cases
- I will say in every case -- be as valuable to the soldiers concerned
as any lump sum for damages which he might recover. POPPYCOCK.
Your readers and especially those who are contemplating joining the
Armed Forces including those already serving might be interested to know
that a 100% War Pensioner (the highest award) receives £105.00 per week
in compensation regardless of the severity of the injuries and are then
expected to approach service charities should they require something
like an electric outdoor wheelchair or other items that could make their
life more tolerable.
Contributing towards The Royal British Legion your readers are only
subsidising government agencies and absolving them from the commitments
made in The House of Commons 1947.
If The Royal British Legion really cared and understood the difficulties
of disabled ex-servicemen they would confront the Government and the
Ministry of Defence into honouring their commitment to give commensurate
compensation to injured servicemen.
They should also set up an appropriate welfare department staffed by
qualified members who understand disabilities and not employ insensitive
retired Army officers seeking to supplement their exorbitant pensions.
Of course if Disabled War Pensioners had commensurate pensions there
would be no need for The Royal British Legion.
I would like to challenge The Royal British Legion into informing your
readers of the exact amount in their bank accounts along with a detailed
breakdown as to where donations go each year. I would also like them to
show precisely how much of that money is spent on salaries and perks to
all their personnel including that of the Director General. After all
these are similar answers that we are compelled to give to them when
being means tested. I would like to ask them why is it necessary to
have a separate section devoted solely for Officers?
Along with a lot of other disabled ex-servicemen I do not ask The Royal
British Legion to go begging on our behalf and until they start treating
us like human beings I for one would like to see this yearly spectacle
brought to an end.
If your readers feel like making a donation towards a charity may I
suggest they have a flutter on the National Lottery at least the
organisers are open to public scrutiny thus enabling them to see where
their money goes.
Remembrance Sunday is an excellent opportunity for your readers to
attend the many parades and church services to show their appreciation
and commend all those who fought and died for this country. But also,
to remember that not all disabled ex-servicemen enjoy going to charities
for handouts.
WHAT WE REALLY WANT IS PROPER RIGHTS.
I would like to add a footnote to this letter by asking members of
British Legion Clubs around the country. What facilities does your club
have for ex-servicemen confined to wheelchairs and how they might feel
if after downing your first pint you are obliged to leave the club
because you are unable to use the toilet facilities?
Yours sincerely,
Tom Campbell
