Not going to happen as long as Capita is running recruitment, perhaps we could stop the Russian army by offering Capita to consult for them?
The UK is not really threatened directly by Russia. The issue is that Europe as a whole needs more cooperation and capability and the EU still doesn’t take its defence as seriously as it should.
Reform voters your time has come.
The truth is, we as Europe need a stronger army. And i think allot of men and woman want to have such a profession, we just need a European standard if we have that we can make it efficient and effective.
We’re not going to win a war by fighting Russia with mass levies of troops. We need better technologies and equipment including better cyber-war assets. We will have to spend more on defence, and work much closer with Europe – the last will be a hard sell to those right if centre, as the US is no longer a reliable ally, and might leave NATO.
hmmmmm ?, who’s sons and daughters exactly ?
what money / privilege based carveouts might there be in this scheme / call to arms exactly
i foresee an outbreak of „bone spurs“
How is this “breaking news”?
At this point, there’s pretty much has to be intelligence that says Russia is going to invade a NATO nation by whatever date and this is us being prepared as the public.
Where’s all the patriots now?
UK’s top general: „Sons and daughters, get ready to fight Russia.“
Population: 67M. Active army: 73k.
Math are not there bro
I wonder if the rich will be fighting too.
Whenever I read serious analyses of Russia’s threat to NATO/EU, it tends to predict that the threat will be more along the lines of cybersecurity and infrastructure attacks rather than a conventional army vs army war.
So if you want to tell your population that they might have to be aware and resilient, then fine, but it always seems odd to me that they imply conscription is a possibility.
Hopefully I’m not tempting fate, but it just doesn’t seem like the UK will be forced into that type of total war where wider mobilisation is needed.
Then the UK needs to give them something to fight for. Right now the younger generations have absolutely nothing and no reason to put their lives on the line for problems created by the generations before them.
Can’t afford to own a home, can’t afford to eat healthily, can’t afford to heat the rented flat and the water gets a hose pipe ban every summer. But sure, have the blood of ours sons and daughters. Get fucked, send the rich kids first.
Time for all the flag shaggers to stand up
They barely got 20% of Ukraine in 4 years lol the fuck are they going to do anywhere else?
I work in a facility that the SAS and MoD use for training. For the last year they have been on site more than actual staff. Do with that what you will.
Forgive me but if Russia is struggling to take on Ukraine, how are the combined forces of NATO in any way concerned?
The biggest worry would be a nuclear strike, but conscription would hardly help us against that.
Russia are struggling to invade a non-NATO country with a military budget 15x smaller than that of the UK.
Unless invaders are literally marching down my street, no thank you. Though I’m probably too old for them to want me anyway.
Can’t wait to see Starmer’s kids on the frontlines!
Maybe give us something worth fighting for before you sign our kids up to the meat grinder?
Reports claim that more than 16500 British millionaires are expected to depart in 2025 – 2026 .
The rich sons and daughters have already started to run .
Just 11 years late, not bad for European standards I guess
They need to give us something to fight for
That is, they need to make us realise how different things are going to be once war properly starts. We might not feel a sense of national identity, but most of us have a reasonably comfortable life compared to some less stable parts of the world and that comes with peace. Ironically we need to realise that we need to fight for peace
Good luck.
War/fearmongering at its finest.
“Why aren’t people having children anymore?”
The sons and daughters of the UK say a big, get to fuck to the head of the armed forces.
