The government would not help him ...... But after it appeared in the Telegraph a local Business man from the Asian community stepped forward gave them a home rent free for a year and helped him find a job in the construction industry... When interviewed on the local news channel as to why he did this he replied "This man and his family have made this country safe for me and my family to live and work here to make my living why would I not help him and his" He then went on to slate our government and local council at the bad way we treat our ex service men and woman.. The guy owns at least 3 corner shops in the Coventry area but every year his shops make collections of toys and food for the local family's at Christmas. Now that is a man to be respected.. But we have Fat cat business leaders and politicians in this country that do not care one bit for the little people who I would note vote for any of them.... There is not one political party in this country who deserves my Vote they all talk the talk on the run up to an election but afterwards shit all over us while they line their own pockets Sonovabich 1 Awards
