Interesting debate here folks.
Firstly, from what I read, the case is ongoing and although a sex discrimination and race discrimination tribunal was won, the compensation case is ongoing.
This case will be pivotal for the forces if she wins. I sincerely hope her case for compensation is thrown out.
Now, as far as I'm concerned, she is nothing more than a p1ss taker who sees nothing more than nice shiny pounds because of her kid, her gender, her CHOSEN profession's "apparent incompatibility" and her colour.
Add those together and ..............KeeeRRCHINGG, she's onto a politically correct payout, courtesy of the taxpayer who has paid her wage for the 7 years up to 2008.
It's wrong, we know it's wrong but even the fullest of outrage buses won't change the initial rulings.
Now, seeing as some of you seem to object to single parents in the forces, I would like to share a small tale.
My ex is serving. We have 2 lads in their teens. Even throughout our seperate years, no matter what she has done to inflict misery on me, ( access issues, access to my kids denied, CSA involvement , loss of house etc etc) I will defend her by saying that in her 20 years of service, never once has she flinched or shyed away from her service responsibilities. She's done more dets than could be expected of her.
She's done the RAF, our kids and herself proud.
