You're Top Poster: #2   | Petition to stop Dunkirk veteran and former POW from being evicted from care Norman Binnall 89 years old from Burnham-on-Sea has been told he must leave his care home because he does not meet the government criteria for funding. Norman was a P.O.W in Germany for over 3 years and lost a foot at Dunkirk. He is petrified about returning home on his home with very little care. Is this the way we should be treating the Heroes who gave us what we have today. Ex-sevicemen like Norman have given this country a lot, let us not ignore them in their time of need. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/normanbinnall/

You're Top Poster: #3 | Pity I can't. Enough people will vote and not let this happen.

You're Top Poster: #8  | Sadly decisions like this are being made every day. We may be able to save Mr Binnall from this fate but there will be countless others whose cases are not picked up by the media. CTNana |
