Yet again the British Military show an example to the rest of the country, and the world, of how to behave.
Integrity, and an understanding of what the vast majority of British people think and believe. The military represent our country and it's people, and they are a fine example of what we once were.
It's a shame our education and justice system couldn't be more like them.

An educational approach has been taken, including info via email and an in depth equality and diversity online package which involved a rather intensive test. This is in addition to the previous training we have already received and the zero tolerance towards racism is still the order of the day.
