I have always understood Mr Windsor to be very supportive of our returned servicemen and was initially quite surprised by his words.

It also came as no surprise, however, to read Mr Windsor’s apology later the same day – it is a rare man, let alone a politician, who can and would admit fault so readily.

So, no loss of confidence from me, Mr Windsor.

A quick word of unwanted advice to all the venomous trolls on the internet who were so quick to jump on Mr Windsor – try putting it to paper and write a letter.

It might make you think a bit harder about how immature your words sound when you read it back.
