Paul Rowen's Letter from Parliament
This year's Remembrance Sunday Service, which I attended at Rochdale and Wardle, were particularly poignant in view of the rising death toll of our troops in Afghanistan. Both services had a large number of local people attending over the last couple of weeks including Steve Cooney, the Royal British Legion, the Air Training Corps (ATC) and Army and Navy Cadets have worked tirelessly to ensure the annual Poppy Appeal is a success. Whatever your views on the war in Afghanistan our brave troops must not be made into a political football.
