Falklands.

An influential and somewhat reluctantly famous disability campaigner (BBC, Sky News, Spartacus and others) Sue Marsh is looking for someone who has claimed Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for mental health problems but has been refused, but can cope with the media. Specifically, they must have applied for DLA as a result of their mental health, rather than applied for say, for physical problems, and suffered mental health problems as a result of some other disability.


If anyone can, or suggest someone, please let me know, or contact Sue on Twitter @suey2y. Cheers.

It's thirty years since my mate Able Seaman John Johnson lost his life in the Falklands conflict. He was in a corridor, some way from the impact of a French supplied Excorcet missile on HMS Sheffield.


HMS Sheffield was constructed, as are many aircraft too, of a titanium, magnesium, and aluminium alloy. The metal corridor, floor and ceiling he was in burned at just above 650 degrees C.  


Lest we forget, Eh?
