As the nursery rhyme goes” Old MacDonald has some medals” ….just not his.
Say hello and a Big Mac and cheese to our latest offering of cumpfuckery Nick MacDonald.
Nick came to our attention after several members were concerned about the claims being made by MacDonald, not only on social media, but press reports and during public speaking and always with an impressive rack of medals including the MM with WO2 rank.
Questions were put to MacDonald about his service in the Parachute Regiment and Royal Military Police and on one veterans forces Facebook page those asking the questions were banned. Meanwhile MacDonald said nothing and carried on enjoying the likeminded pages knowing genuine veterans had been banned.
So we had a look as having searched the London gazette we could not find him….strange as all MM recipients would have been annotated on.
More began to bubble to the surface as google search history uncovered several interviews MacDonald had made.

” Among those fighting on the frontline was Nick MacDonald, a Royal Military Policeman and member of the Parachute Regiment who now lives in Farnham Royal. Engaging in the battles of Goose Green and Wireless Ridge, Nick had been in the army for six years and was one of the older soldiers at 28.
“It happened a long time ago and it feels like somebody else’s life,” said Nick, now 57.
I can’t talk about things I saw because people don’t understand, and when I’m with the guys who do understand we don’t have to. I’ve seen some pretty nasty things and sometimes they wake me up at night.”
More than 900 people died during the war. By his own admission, Nick was one of the ‘lucky ones’ who survived despite once watching a mortar land within metres and ‘fizz’ without exploding.”
Nick does not want to talk about it for a very good reason…..He was never there in the first place.
More links with direct claims by MacDonald
Photos then surfaced of MacDonald taking remembrance parades representing the Burnham Royal British Legion. Do you do any due diligence guys?
After our checks and CC1’s MacDonald became aware we were checking his story out.
This hum dinger of an excuse then made its way to HQ.
Have some tissues standing by!
Admin: Burnham RBL Fb page applied to join this page a few minutes ago, asking for urgent contact. We responded and were asked to phone the president of the branch, B………. (retired RAF), on his mobile, in relation to Nick MacDonald. I’ve no reason to doubt that B is who he says he is, and he invited me to phone the branch to confirm his bona fides.
Long story short, Nick has been in hospital for over 2wks with pneumonia (he is apparently monitoring this thread, hence B contacting us) and has, in the past day or so, been bombarded with allegations of being a Walt. B tells me that the pics that Nick has shown him (with the medals) bear no resemblance to how Nick presents himself at the Branch. He only wears a Veteran’s badge and a scarlet beret on Remembrance Sunday.
Nick was at Depot briefly in ’74 before suffering a serious leg injury and being discharged. He’s never put himself forward as a retired WO2 in the RMP.
He is a valuable member of the RBL and does a lot for community relationships. And here’s the rub. About six weeks ago the branch was approached by (believed to be) members of an extreme right-wing organisation. They asked for Nick’s address (this was refused). It seems that Nick has put his head above the parapet on occasion to counter anti-Islamic rhetoric.
So, it is being put forward that Nick is the victim of a smear campaign.
Now that is by far the best excuse we have heard to date, but hang on. Did these so called Right wing groups only start this smear campaign Six weeks ago. The first link was dated April 2012.
Plus if what the admin of the Burnham RBL claim is true in his defence about never witnessing MacDonald wearing medals, then what is this picture all about then.
The very same B from the RBL ostanding next to MacDonald
The facts are MacDonald is a full blown Walt having never passed basic training and putting himself across as a former Falklands vet and winner of the MM and MID on his GSM.
He had received none of them and had attended P Company or Basic Para.
He was not known by 2 Para or showed up on SAMA82
He was not known by former and serving members of the RMP. MacDonald claimed despite wearing WO2 to some to have have reached WO1 rank yet was not known for either.
He was however a joe bag who went on the Biff and got out soon after.
What a CUMPER
