Woah! So Facebook will now let anyone in the world find a list of over 1000 individuals in a nation’s military, including their full name, photos, location, age, interests, friend’s & family, relationships and more. Wow, I sure hope nobody lets China/ Russia or any of the UK’s supposed enemies know about this…

This is why the Constituency Surgery held by Cllr Govett on Facebook was wrong. As I informed her she should have given you the choice.
