Walking down the street in Leeds I passed an old soldier who had obviusly seen better days. Sat on the pavement with a sign proclaiming 'Faulklands Veteran' and an upturned hat by his side I could not help but wonder how our government had allowed this disgraceful state of affairs come to pass. Without hesitation I put a fiver in the hat and, as I shook his hand, he smiled at me and said,

"Gracias Sénor"

Maybe we aren't so bad after all...
