Record View says the MoD should be doing everything they can to help former RAF personnel who have fallen seriously ill after handling lethal chemicals
When we first reported the plight of former RAF service personnel known as squippers more than seven years ago, there were just a handful of cases.
These veterans are people who went to their work every day in good faith, not knowing the lethal chemicals they handled could mean a death sentence. It is alarming that so many would go on to develop various cancers such non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, throat cancer and blood cancer by just doing their job.Some have launched successful claims and received payouts. But for too many, whose lives have been blighted by illness linked to their work, there has been no resolution.
Former Scots Guard Lee Mason has accused the authorities of carrying out a “money-saving exercise” as veteran after veteran tells a similar tale. He has called for a public inquiry into what caused so many veterans to fall seriously ill.Braverman needs to look in mirror Suella Braverman hasn’t broken the law by exploiting a loophole to pocket £25,000 of taxpayers’ money to help pay her utility bills.
