Sir Ben,i can only agree with Anthony Barking Mad McLoughlin and Rod Spinks...!!!
You are so right, I get so mad and angry when I hear reporters and newcasters saying that footballers and sportsmen and women are heroes and these are the people who earn salaries far in excess of what they do and get celebrity status and all these awards for nothing whereas all our brave military personnel who put their lives on the line every day and face death every day and continue to do so day after day get nothing, get no true reward or their sacrifices.

…You are so right, I get so mad and angry when I hear reporters and newcasters saying that footballers and sportsmen and women are heroes and these are the people who earn salaries far in excess of what they do and get celebrity status and all these awards for nothing whereas all our brave military personnel who put their lives on the line every day and face death every day and continue to do so day after day get nothing, get no true reward or their sacrifices. What has happened to the Victoria Cross, it is supposed to be awarded to military personnel who put their lives in danger for their colleagues in time of war, how many of the dead and injured military personnel have died or been injured putting their colleagues lives before their own?
Rod, you never said a true'er word, Fuckballer put a uniform on them then see them howl, not right REF: need a card os something here??????, certainly need recognition, BEN YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST RESPECT
Michael Stalley Pls contact me on my timeline...maybe I can help...ex-Flippine ex-pat. Let's get this petition rolling, Ben is worth all o0f hthe footballers put together.
Lol, I hear this all the time about footballers, not taking away from the soldier's story but it REALLY is more than running around for arf hr lol, TRUST me, at that pace running for 90mins is Feckin knackerin lol, I certainly agree they are paid WAAAAAYYYYYYYYY too much tho, especially those earning millions have their money in accounts that are getting away with payin the 1% tax! Just out o interest what has this fine soldier done? Not bein rude, just don't know n I would like to ;)
Ben deserves this not just for the personal sacrifice he has made for his country but for his continuing courage and determination to live as normal a life as possible and for his concerted and heroic efforts to raise funds for charity to assist other injured soldiers - many far less injured than himself. A true HERO in every sense of the word x.
HIS BRAVERY AND COMMITMENT DESERVES THE AWARD ON IT;S THEN WE HAVE THINK ABOUT ALL THE TRAUMA AND PAIN THAT FOLLOWED AND OUR GOVERMENT SHOULD LISTEN TO WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR HEROES.
One would hope the powers that be might make an exception in this case, but I fear the worse.. I served 30 years in the RAF and I know from experience that Knighthoods are only normally given to high ranking staff officers of the Armed Forces... But hope springs eternal in Ben's case.
This breaks my heart, to many are getting awards because they have money, not sure why, but then you have a hero like this that deserves so much more, have we forgottenm our heros, who suffer to make our lives better, I certainly have not, and thnak you Ben, may god bless you for all you have done for England, now lets see England do somehting for you.
Thank you Ben Parkinson, you deserve the highest recognition for your courage in the fight for freedom and we need to be reminded today in the 21st Century of this honorable purpose given the flash-points worldwide as a result of dictatorial power and the killing of their own people.
Let's help this Hero, footballers are classed as heroe's what a load of bolx , Ben is a true Hero so lets all fight his corner!
