So, some 90 year old Arctic Convoy survivor goes to Russia and picks up his medal.  What then?  Dawn raid on his house by three squad cars full of armed police? Questions in the house?  Public stripping him of his other medals? I think not, so why don't they tell HM Govt to stuff it?

Iy has been so far countless years.

You can do that.

In the case of the PJM they, (The Govt), told us to do just that.

But we replied that that would make us break our oath to HM The Queen and we were not prepared to do that.
