    I would have fought against the fascists in the last world war, quite willingly. But no way on earth would I fight for what this country has become politically.

    It's not a serious suggestion. Just a milatary chief reminding people that the defence budget has been cut. 

    Its election year....there will be many more of these. Next you'll have the BMA saying you'll have to do your own operations as there are no Doctors left.

    Not disagreeing with you....but the 9am phone in (just finished) on R5L have been discussing it. It was a good listen.

    No need to apologise, you are not the one to suggest this is a ‘fun’ topic.

    If the Russians invaded us using inflatable boats we'd be overrun in no time.

    If it meant another war in Europe, I like to think we have enough boats.

    Or just light up Wembley arches in red white and blue. That should sort it.

    I've over 100 hours on MSFS, do you think they'll let me have a Typhoon?

    Was talking to a mate about this before the conscription conversation was about. We agreed that we’d sign up if this country was invaded, for the grandkids’ stories. But there’s no way we’re dying in an oil war to protect the current government

    If me and my mates are anything to go by on warzone, we will be camping for hours in the fire departments, malls and football stadiums.
