Calm down dear, it's a slow news day

Both BBC and ITV (GMTV) are leading their Breakfast News with a story about RAF Wittering's commander telling his service men and women not to wear uniform off duty in the town. This is due to verbal abuse.

Big deal. This sort of administrative act has happened regularly over the years - particularly during the Irish troubles. It really is daft for Gordon Brown to ask forces people to wear their uniforms off duty anyway. Do nurses wear their uniform off duty?

And we have motor mouth Dr Fox weighing in with "there should be no no-go areas for our armed forces".

What utter, over-inflated nonsense! This is typical of the ridiculous twaddle which passes for "national debate" in our country.
