The prime minister has said the public want to see armed forces members in their uniforms - after advice to conceal them in public was relaxed.
A defence source had told the BBC the advice was a "common sense" step during the Woolwich attack investigation.

I’m betting their email servers crashed and their phone lines busied out.
What a bunch of crap. I know the soldiers have to be mad as hell.

I’m retarded, I thought it said don’t wear uniforms...my bad.

No concealed carry. Strap that semi auto issued across your back locked and loaded!

Mind you that is for a small pocket knife.
The UK has raised men without chests.
I’m curious what brilliant mind suggested that Brittish Solders cower
by not wearing their uniforms?
They should wear their uniforms with issued side arms.
?
I think they should wear their uniforms. It was the UK government that said they shouldn’t, until the backlash made them switch back.
I propose a “wear BDU’s to work day” worldwide, in order to let the godless Muslim pukes know that this will not be tolerated and if a fight is what they want, a fight is what they shall get!
I meant the “who” in the UK. A name
