I would say that on the face of it,members or ex members of the armed forces are not discriminated againt. Nor should they be treated with positive discrimination. They join the waiting list just like anyone else. Sorry but its a tough old world.

dooper, whilst you were (phew) paging forward quite a bit, you must have missed my previous post (and the others by other posters) which pointed out it was about equality, not positive discrimination - they would love to join the waiting list on the same terms as everyone else, but they are not allowed to.

I would like to say this about local connection points, if you do not have a local connection to the area that you are asking to live in, then you have no chance at all. However a civilian only has to live in an area for six months to get a local connection??."
