I can see you are still struggling with this.
You need to be more precise. Which bit of what I've said do you thing is wrong?
A general, "it's all baloney" will simply not do. You need to be precise about what it is you're disputing.
Ex servicemen with an honourable discharge are granted such permission.
It appears very straightforward and relatively simple.
If you're not an active service person, you need specific authority:
It shall not be lawful for any person not serving in Her Majesty’s Military Forces to wear without Her Majesty’s permission the uniform of any of those forces, or any dress having the appearance or bearing any of the regimental or other distinctive marks of any such uniform:
An Act to regulate and restrict the wearing of Naval and Military Uniforms.
www.legislation.gov.uk
I'm pretty sure the fellow was not on active service.
Additionally, you may be missing that according to the press, he served in the signals at a time when the signals and paras were part of the same.
Link to this info', please?
Assuming this is all correct, that may now give him the right to wear both the parachute regiment beret and the signals (blue) one.
a) assuming all this is correct? Any idea if it is correct?
I suspect you're becoming confused between the Parachute Regiment, created in 1940, and the (Parachute) Signal Squadron formed in 1959. They were not connected to the Paras at that time. It wasn't until 1999 that the 16 Air Assault Brigade became connected to the Paras. And I'm pretty sure the fellow wasn't serving in 1999..
It looks like he may have fantasised the assault. Perhaps he fantasised his military service as well?
And you need to prove your claim :-
Ex servicemen with an honourable discharge are granted such permission.
Again.. always jumping to the conclusion that people are dishonest.
No jumping to conclusions on my part. i did a fair bit of research about him claiming to have been assaulted about 15.30 while he was being escorted from the station, but he was video'd happily elling poppies at 15.50.
I rasied the question about the veracity of his claim. I didn't claim he was ,lying, that was your misconception, and your subsequent false and dishonest accusation. But it's beginnig to look like my suspicions were correct.
You may also want to give the act you quoted another read, you appear to have misunderstood it.
I suggest you give it another look and find where ex-servicemen are allowed to wear their uniform whenever they like.
