you’ve said that “ethnic” young people are not willing to fight in this imaginary war of yours. Then within the same post you’ve claimed that “ most youngsters of ‘fighting age ‘ would run away rather than enlist”


If it’s “most youngsters” why did you initially single out “ethnic” youngsters?

Because I listen to what many ethnic youngsters say on the radio TV and in various publications saying they feel more allegiance to the countries where their parents originated from primarily , which to a certain extent is understandable. The important point is the average youngster these days does not have the courage and spirit of the First World War generation, not that it was right to enlist and defend our freedom today.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my kids were born in australia and at 9 and 12 see themselves as australian.

As for courage of the first world war generation, how would you know, it's not until you're thrust into the situation that you really find out how brave you are.

Z generation cannot work out what sex they want to be and could get upset if a Sgt Major did not get their pronouns right. Many young ethnic men have no allegiance to the King and Country. (I have heard young callers phoning up radio stations saying precisely this). We would be fcuked if war broke out. I do not think the Government are that daft not to realise this and that is why they have built our defences on wars than can be controlled from a room and no reliance on weak willed mummy’s boys who cannot iron a shirt, get their own dinner , get upset if a spot pops on their face or have a panic attack if their phone signal goes. That will be one of the biggest setbacks , mobile phone loss anxiety Asni way would they be allowed these in combat. It is truly alarming how pathetic some of our youth have become.

These were as a result of military risk assessments, that assessed the likelihood of British armed forces directly engaging with a foreign military power were increasing.

Well, it appears that the target age group are just not interested in joining up. The navy is even having to consider scraping some of its vessels, as it cannot recruit enough people to operate them.

Now, today, we have articles like this one appearing, with military chiefs hinting at conscription (although the MOD then denying it) and saying the public need to get ready to fight and be put on a war footing - www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/24 ... ght-russia

And Tobias Ellwood has been doing the media rounds this morning, also pushing the message.



Depending on your circumstances, and the age of your children/grandchildren, I think it's time to start considering your possible exit options. Also, if defence budgets are to increase, you'd better get used to a lack of public services.
