Phatz Bar in Maidenhead

Phatz Bar is a modern bar with a lean towards funky soul music. It offers many different flavoured vodkas, cocktails and shooters. The bar, also stocks draught and bottled beers and conventional spirits. The bar attracts a wide range of people, but is aiming to attract those who are 21 and over. BUT NOT IF YOU ARE A SERVING SOLDIER.



Grieving soldiers who attended the funeral of a comrade killed in Afghanistan were stopped from entering a bar because they were wearing military uniform. The three soldiers and one Royal Marine were not allowed into the Phatz bar in Maidenhead after they attended the funeral of fallen Rifleman Daniel Hume, 22. The bar's door staff adamantly refused to lift their "No uniforms" policy, despite the fact that the group was accompanied by Rfn Hume's distraught father.

Rfn Hume was killed by a roadside bomb on July 9 while on foot patrol with 4th Battalion The Rifles at Nad e-Ali, in Afghanistan's Helmand province, just weeks into his first operational tour and only months after passing out as the best cadet at his training regiment.
His body was flown back to Britain and his funeral took place last Thursday afternoon at All Saint's Church, in the Humes' home town of Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Members of the public applauded spontaneously as the coffin was brought into the church, which contained hundreds of mourners including over 50 servicemen and women in uniform. Rfn Hume was given an honour guard of riflemen.
Afterward, a group of around 50 mourners went for a commemorative drink in Maidenhead town centre. It was around midnight when 12 members of the group - which included three soldiers in fatigues and a Royal Marine in full dress uniform headed to the late night Phatz bar, which normally remains open until 2.30am.

Rfn Hume's father Adrian said "They arrived at the Phatz bar, which Daniel had been to on occasion when he was on home leave, before me. When I got there they appeared a bit upset.
"They said the guy on the door had told them 'you can all come in, apart from the squaddies'. He refused to let the four who wearing uniform into the bar because they were wearing their uniform."
Mr Hume added that the servicemen were resigned to the situation, having experienced similar situations in the past.



Grant Page, manager at Phatz, said he turned the men away because "he had been told that there were 100 soldiers had been drinking all day and that some of them would be heading for his bar and I have to protect my customers' interests" (but not if its 100 people out on a stag or hen night)



Now im not a spiteful person and I wish no ill on any decent person and im sure any decent person would agree with me when I say to the people of Maidenhead and those that choose to visit Maidenhead for a night out to boycott this is the place which employs *Grant Page

A soldier who refuses to return to active duty in Afghanistan has indicated he will plead not guilty to the charge of desertion.
Lance Corporal Joe Glenton faced court martial at Bulford Military Court Centre in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
He did not enter a formal plea, but defence lawyer Hugh O'Donoghue said the soldier would deny the single charge against him.
Mr O'Donoghue also told the court he may call an expert witness to give evidence on the lawfulness of service and current operations in Afghanistan.
L Cpl Glenton handed in a letter to the Prime Minister to explain why he believes politicians are wasting soldiers' lives in an unjustified war. He is the first British soldier to speak out publicly against the war in Afghanistan.



L/Cpl Joe Glenton's letter to the PM

Dear Mr Brown,
I am writing to you as a serving soldier in the British Army to express my views and concerns on the current conflict in Afghanistan.
It is my primary concern that the courage and tenacity of my fellow soldiers has become a tool of American foreign policy.
I believe this unethical short-changing of such proud men and women has caused immeasurable suffering not only to families of British service personnel who have been killed and injured, but also to the noble people of Afghanistan.
I have seen qualities in the Afghan people which have also been for so long apparent and admired in the British soldier. Qualities of robustness, humour, utter determination and unwillingness to take a step backwards.
However, it is these qualities, on both sides, which I fear will continue to cause a state of attrition. These will only lead to more heartbreak within both our societies.
I am not a general nor am I a politician and I cannot claim any mastery of strategy. However, I am a soldier who has served in Afghanistan, which has given me some small insight.
I believe that when British military personnel submit themselves to the service of the nation and put their bodies into harm's way, the government that sends them into battle is obliged to ensure that the cause is just and right, i.e. for the protection of life and liberty.
The war in Afghanistan is not reducing the terrorist risk, far from improving Afghan lives it is bringing death and devastation to their country. Britain has no business there.
I do not believe that our cause in Afghanistan is just or right. I implore you, Sir, to bring our soldiers home."

Yours sincerely,
Joe Glenton
Lance/Corporal, Royal Logistics Corps.

L/Cpl Glenton has since joined the Stop The War Coalition and Chris Nineham from the STW Coalition said "There is no question there is a lot of dissatisfaction and discontent among the armed forces about Britain's involvement in Afghanistan and L/Cpl Glenton is the first serving soldier to express these views."


*Since the war in Afghanistan began eight years ago, 191 UK service personnel have died.
