Voice of the People: Let the Ministry of Defence act as caring as charities do

It is fantastic that a charity has sent up drones to rescue PTSD-stricken veterans missing from their homes.

And it is brilliant to see TV star Duncan Bannatyne generously providing free gym memberships for recovering soldiers.

We, like Prince Harry , salute their remarkable work. But such selfless actions only serve to underline one important fact.

That they fill a shameless leadership void.

One our government should be occupying.

For more than two years this newspaper has warned about the soaring numbers of veterans being hit by post-traumatic stress disorder.

Many end up on the street. Some even take their lives.

The devastation for these brave men and women, and their families, is immeasurable.

And if it wasn’t for the work of charities and volunteers like All Call Signs their lives would be even worse.

So today the Sunday People has a simple call to arms to defence ministers.

Truly show you care.

And start delivering proper services to those who make the ultimate sacrifice in all of our names.

Sun-thing to cheer

On Easter Sunday the big question is – should you kick things off with a chocolate egg or an ice cream?

And forget roast lamb, get out the barbie. 

The heatwave is a reason to be cheerful.

You could see it in the smiles on the faces of the hundreds of thousands of people who headed to beaches across Britain yesterday.

Some parts of the country yesterday were as hot as Hawaii.

And the good news is the fine weather is set to continue over the Bank Holiday.

So to all of our wonderful readers, we urge you to soak it up. And have a fantastic Easter.
