O/T Mandatory National Services to be brought back in by the Tories

[crashbang]

Said it before we feel safe, but what would you do if we were in a Ukrainian situation?
Hammer your keyboards while the enemy were clearing your street out.
Makes me laugh.
Who would you expect to protect you and your family.
Neighbour hood watch?

Who would you expect to protect you and your family. Neighbour hood watch?

What a ridiculous suggestion! Who needs them when there's Captain Mainwaring and Corporal Jones

Some of this generation wouldn't know whether to sh7t themselves in a male or female bog. A massive reset is needed and will surely come one day soon.

We're an island, so we wouldn't be.
There's no dispute over the land, so we wouldn't be.
We're in NATO and have allies all over the place where Ukraine were limited.

There are many reasons people choose to invest on these shores, and security is one of them. Throwing more money at our military is a waste, but throwing kids into any sort of national service because the generations before them who (in 95% of cases) have never seen a gun say they should, is utterly stupid. There's no more wrong with the youngsters of today than there was with the youngsters in past generations, there's just a lot more light thrown on them by tabloids with an agenda, or via social media and other such platforms which didn't exist when people were dressing up like Bowie or Boy George.

People need to stop buying into the rubbish the ruling classes feed us through their media outlets.

Yes. Exactly this.

Oh, and it's these tossers and their connections who control the narrative, so this is just the smell from the huge pile of **** that's really going on.

Yeah, time for a change

Time to put our faith in a millionaire lawyer that lives in London

If the crux of your argument is that wealthy/successful people are all inherently problematic for the working class, you're destined for some very short conversations.

Well for one it isn't an argument just a thought that a Labour leader with Starmer's background won't do much for those living north of Watford.

His promises will be as empty as Rishi's

[Eternal Optimist]

...His promises will be as empty as Rishi's

...and that's because they're both controlled by the same people.
