Richard - that statement is not on the page that you link to, nor on an immediately obvious cascade. On the basis of your blicky, the chances of surviving a VC act are at least 50% (& that's post WWII, the 'eyewitness' requirements have tended to go up over the years).

Bunnah - PM noted. I wasn't having a personal go, but I felt your statement was displaying bias not supported by your 'facts'. AFAIK no political party has commented on the bravery of Pte Beharry. It is poor debating, therefore, to try to claim that any lack of comment is evidence of bias; whichever way, by whatever party.

The BNP may well be inherently racist shitbags (I certainly wouldn't vote for them, as you may have gathered!). They're not inherently racist shitbags because they didn't praise Pte Beharry, especially when no other party bothered to. Your post is faulty at best.

Regards,
