I only look that way at weekends.

I think they'd have a hell of a job conscripting the younger generation. King and country doesn't mean the same as it used to. What about the many foreign nationals living here,how would that work?
Apart from people being more comfortable with their lot now, history tells them that they're on they're own if they come back mutilated or brain damaged. Now if the war was fought on Fortnite (?)........

Just the other day in Liverpool a man was arrested for waving the Union Jack in front of Palestine protesters, so it's a bit of a mixed message they're sending out.

What do you think the response would be if the immigrants were offered British citizenship if they were to join the armed forces?

I’m not saying that it happen or that I think it’s likely but you never know.

Tucker Carson? FFS!

Didn't go too well for old Tucker from what I'm hearing. Vlad had him for breakfast. Might as well send Philip Schofield next time.

I thought it went particularly well for Putin.

He got some important messages across - mainly the one where he stated they have zero objectives/nothing to gain by invading anywhere, least of all Poland, and that Western mainstream media is bought and paid for by the deep state.

Shame they didn't venture into the delicate area of the 13 biolabs in Ukraine set up and financed by U.S. tax dollars, from which Covid 19 (and others) were developed before being moved to Wuhan.

It could only work if the immigrants share the same values as we do and wanted to protect our way of life .

Our own fallen from conflicts went in to battle to protect our way of life and our values and were prepared to make the supreme sacrifice .

It's very complex with younger generations and it's not really their fault either .

They've been educated in a totally different way to what many of the older end like myself were .

The world places feelings before what is actually reality today , an example is taking place in Israel and Gaza right now .

Israel had it's 9/11 on October 7th last year , 1200 of it's citizens were brutally murdered .

The perpetrators of this massacre then hide amongst it's own citizens in Gaza .

Clearly Israel needs to eliminate Hamas , it has to in order to protect it's citizens from further attacks or even the risk of losing its own country .

It has no option but to attack Gaza in the manner it is doing which means innocent people are dying , it's dreadful but that's the reality and there's no war that was ever won without innocent civilians dying .

Not everyone by any means but a substantial amount are outraged , perfectly understandable but none the less deluded because feelings have no place in a conflict such as this .

The whole future of Israel as a nation is on the line and feelings come in to it ?

Israel is getting judged on western values which are a bit feely today against an opponent with no values at all .

Israel , thankfully does what it has to do .

Let me leave you with this .

Remember the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in central London ?

Do you think we'd see the same outcome today ?

Conscription is a bad idea, there is enough lunatics in the army who volunteered.
I know.

Anybody else aware of them and their involvement in the Ukraine war?
