NOVEMBER is here again, it is that time of the year when people remember those of their loved ones who died in two world wars.

How sad it is that today, those who survived the war and are still alive are getting a very raw deal. They fought for their country, struggled to bring up a family on small money, and they are still struggling today.

Those people are the backbone of the country, but they are not appreciated, their descendants are growing up with no future.

Many are experiencing difficulties in finding work, they can't get council houses and they are forced to buy their homes.

Why is it that those responsible treat their own people like that?
