UK: No Room At The Inn (If You're A Soldier)

THE Armed Forces Minister demanded an explanation today from a hotel that refused an injured Welsh soldier a room because he was from the military.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said Bob Ainsworth had written to the Metro Hotel in Woking, Surrey, regarding its treatment of Corporal Tomos Stringer.

The 23-year-old, from Gwynedd, was visiting a wounded colleague in Surrey when he was turned away from the hotel under its “no military personnel” policy, forcing him to spend the night in his car.


You know, I just wrote about a similar outrage last month. What the hell is wrong with you people in UK?
