An RAF sergeant who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan was moved out of a hospital waiting room because staff feared his uniform would upset people from different cultures.

 

In an explanation to his family, hospital workers were said to have claimed ‘they didn’t want to upset people’ because they ‘have lots of different cultures coming in’.

 

 

 

 

 

Now this is what this country is coming to. Disgusted.

Disgusting. Whoever asked him to move should be sacked. If it wasn't for the RAF and our other armed forces, there would be no NHS.

I was going by the bbc TV news, which never mentioned other forces being involved. If that is the case I apologies for my comments. I linked the cutting without reading it, thinking I didn't have to due to the TV item. Having now read it I stand by my OP.

A disgraceful decision by whoever made it . There are notices in hospitals which say they have zero tolerance to anyone who abusers staff and patients .

Reading your link, it's badly expressed, but I read it as another member of the public caused an altercation because of a serving officer being in uniform, not that the serving officer caused a fight?

 

Surely that must have been the case, otherwise why would they ask the RAF man to move out of sight? In the other scenario they would have called security to keep an eye on him.

Not sure id want to advertise being part of TWO illegal wars.

Not my opinion by the way, the wars were illegal so you can start the flaming now. I probably wont care all that much.
