"Britons could be called up to fight in war with Russia, army chief to warn"

Oo, er!

We should be safe on here given that the average age of the Forum is about 82! Perhaps we could have a BBS (Dad's Army) Platoon.

 

Don't Panic Captain Mainwaring!

or tell 'em your name Pike!

 

I kind of thought 'Captain' Dawson, with Bossman as Sergeant Wilson!

 

Do you think that's wise, Sir!

 

I nominate JLWBL as Godfrey the gentle nice to every body old dude ,Supertyke as Cprl ‘ don’t panic Jones’ And Scott as Fraser ‘we’re doomed’ !

 

If you want to sign up to fight and potentially kill people on the other side who are just like us, at the behest of the rich and powerful, then more fool anyone that does. 2024 and we're still killing one another to satisfy the egos of people who wouldn't p*ss on you if you were on fire. No thanks.

 

We're doomed! Doomed I tell ya!

 

oo better yet , edited! ​

 

There's a virus, get inside, lock your doors, don't come out.

There's a Russian, shoot him.

 

Nar, the Tory’s will claim that Concencious objectors are not of sound mind and therefore don’t have a say. This then will mean if you don’t have a say you don’t disagree with them.

 

That can't be right can it? Because wasn't one of the benefits of Brexit that we couldn't be called up to fight for the "EU Army"?

 

I think the idea was more about patrolling the boundaries of Dod'eth to guard the good citizens thereof from foreign intruders! We'd need to conduct particularly lengthy enquiries in the Wheeltappers', I'd imagine!

 

fk me I’m glad our folks weren’t like you for the last 2 World Wars

 

There’s quite a few of us oldies up here to watch the Dales and watch out for paratroopers!
Or even worse intrusion up the Nidd …ooo err

 

It’s not fighting the last 2 World wars is the issue, it’s because of what happens in peacetime to the ‘ordinary folk’ that irks. The rich and upper classes gleefully plot, plan and implement their greedy controlling ways and then proceed to blame the ‘ordinary folk’ when as usual it all goes tits up

 

"
I was a miner
I was a docker
I was a railway man
Between the wars
I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry
Between the wars
I paid the union and as times got harder
I looked to the government to help the working man
But they brought prosperity down at the armory
We're arming for peace, me boys
Between the wars"

 

So, in hindsight after two world wars, millions dead and we're STILL fighting eachother? Are people so blinded by nationalism and brainwashed by media that we can't see that we're being played at every turn.

Russia isn't going to invade Britain. We aren't going to invade anyone either. I think it's time, as a species, we grew up.

And the fact you seem to have a problem with someone not willing to kill someone else who has done absolutely nothing wrong is quite baffling.

The guys and gals who fought in the first and second World Wars are absolute heroes, I want to make that clear. But we need to be done with senseless killing and fighting. The truth is, wars are rackets, drummed up by people with vested interests. And they send us mugs to go and die for their wants.

Take the Second World War. It's known now that if Standard Oil in America hadn't provided the Luftwaffe with Tetraethyl Lead (used to stop "knock" in aircraft at the time), then the Battle of Britain, and the Blitz wouldn't have ever happened. So that's people putting money infront of lives. That is war.

I'll defend my family from any threat I deem to be so. So please don't think I'm a coward, I'm not. I just value my life and the lives of others.

Strange how some peoples' views can be skewed by the drums of war isn't it?

 

Watched PMQ earlier and saw our intimidating leaders who will I’m sure send shivers up any Russian spine.
Dowling / Sunak / Shapps.
Haha none imo could fight their way out of a paper bag but very eager to inflict death on others.
All cnts of the highest order.

 

Can I put you down for the BBS (Dad's Army) First Highland Division, Ian?

What are you like with a set of bagpipes?

 

You would not like to know.
