I will put up a better post tomorrow when I have a bit more time and am slightly less angry. To all of you who have taken the time to donate to Help for Heroes via www.bmycharity.com/dambusters2012 please do be taken in by the badly researched and shameful program which is being broadcast by the BBC Newsnight team today. If you would like to see a dignified and accurate response please read the statement by Help for Heroes at their website, www.helpforheroes.org.uk and then follow the link to the long list of veterans and supporters who have taken the time to go on record to refute the dreadful excuse for a factual report by the BBC.
Why the BBC feel the need to always knock things that are good in the country is beyond me. Why they would choose to attack a charity that had raised over £140 million to support our wounded heroes and which enjoys the widespread support of the troops, their wounded comrades and families is even more extraordinary.
Dambusters2012 will continue to support Help for Heroes and I sincerely hope you will too.
Thank you.
Simon Dufton. Rider and Fundraiser.
