It is unlikely that military officers will be given a promotional posting unless he has a wife to travel the world with him, therefore he will try any and every trick to gain that valuable commodity, including forced and proxy marriage. The wives are forced to work wihout pay for regularly 20 hours a day on the stations,(not house-work) while being promised half the pension and substantial gratuity payment (intended for house purchase). We suffer an average annual house move, both at home and abroad, while bringing up our children as a virtually lone parent, and are forced to put our children in boarding school. Then after 20-30 years, near retirement we are posted to a HQ unit where we are subjected to a contrived divorce, and are advised to visit the Citizens Advice Bureau to hire a solicitor, where unbeknown to us the Ministry of Defence planted an ex Wing Commander as manager. He processed the special wives through the next door solicitor where we are asset stripped with a vengeance, no pension or gratuity, very few of our personal possessions , but worst of all we never see our abducted and brainwashed children again. It took me 2 years to discover the fraud due to it being so simple, for instance who would ever suspect the CAB of being implicated, and I persuaded the Head of the CAB to make all managers female in case other places were being abused also. naturally the solicitor lost his nice little earner (he was cornering the local High Wycombe market in Legal Aid certificates,) therefore he was compensated by being promoted to President of the Law Society, thus ensuring that no other solicitor would take our case to sue him.Therefore I created a website to counteract the iniquitous OSA. http://users.powernet.co.uk/rafwives The iniquitous Official Secrets Act is misused to censor all news of the crime of enslaving wives of military officers.

Well done. I'm a believer in Christ and having my core beliefs regularly attacked in public by everyone from stand up comedians to fundamentalist atheists is a fact of life that I am used to. I don't want the state to "protect" me from these criticisms and I don't want the state to protect Muslims from the same challenge. It's what freedom means. Get used to it.

Not publishing a book because of fear of inciting an act of violence is an example of the kind of fear that terrorists want to instill in people. We can't lose our way on free speech!

I hope she will like to know that as a result of her protest I have just ordered the book in question from Amazon. It will sir on my bookshelves along with The Satanic Verses.
