TheScarf Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I think this all a Tory 'Rule Britannia' ploy from a dying government to win votes. If Russia tried anything the NATO countries would turn it into a barren wasteland. There would be zero requirement for civilians to sign up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Rhubarb Crumble was invented during the Second World War. I wonder what other tasty treats would be invented if we had another one. Just a thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'm on the wrong side of 60 for charging a machine gun nest, but I suppose if I thought the cause was just..... well maybe. I was pretty handy with a sniper rifle in Mass Effect Andromeda so maybe they could find a place for me. A prerequisite would be that I'd not be signed up, let alone be sent into action, until every over 18 year old relative of every MP, Member of the House of Lords, General, Admiral, and Air Chief Marshal was there before me, along with the family of the high heid yins in every arms manufacturing or exporting company. Well, why not? Fair enough, IMO. If it would be good enough for the likes of me, it'd be good enough for the "great and the good" who would be proud to send all their offsprogs like Sixtus, Peter, Mary, Thomas, Anselm and Alfred Rees-Mogg in too. I know they're under age at the moment, but they grow up so quickly. Until then, no thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The Chief of the Army said that we should be defending our values. Given the current Government's values I therefore shall be stealing all the weapons, selling them to the enemy, fining the squaddies for losing their weapons, selling them new weapons at double the price and then saying that it's good for the economy when the same squaddies get shot by their own weapons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems more like a play from within the military to whip up public criticism of the goverment and reverse cuts in the military. Either way, nae c**t is getting conscripted, agreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
