This is a photograph of Tom Neathway who lost his legs and left arm while 'protecting our streets' in Afghanistan. Can you imagine the hell this man has been through just to please the whims of our Prime Minister and other warmongering politicians?
Tom's not the only one by any means who has been left severely disabled by a Taliban bomb, there are hundreds.

Fitaloon has a detailed post about a programme on
BBC 1, at 9pm this Wednesday 23 September. The programme title is
Wounded.
It's the responsibility of each and every one of us to watch this programme. After all, we pay these men's wages so we should see what we're getting for it and more to the point what they get for it.
This programme will be a poignant reminder that courage has a price - a price most of us wouldn't even consider paying.
Please do watch, you may learn something about your own opinion of the Afghanistan war too.
