To paraphrase, "The UK is combat ineffective". Our political system has failed. Multiple public services are failing. Our infrastructure is failing. Our nuclear deterence has failed in multiple tests. Our military are poorly resourced and inefficiency that has grown over the last few decades has moved us further from a sustainable service. Austerity was actioned at the worse possible time in history. At the point of record low borrowing we decided to cut borrowing. We cut investment, so now all that we needed to do is needed, plus more. And on top of this it will cost more as interest rates are so high. THE PROBLEM IS LEADERSHIP! These people, who are in these videos are the point of failure.

They are all civil servants or company employees - some of whom may well end up having to be convince with huge salaries to go abroad and service the war machine. Bloody disgusting and it was the Conservatives who were the driving force behind this hollowing out for decades.

If we genuinely want to have a serious military then we have to make other changes too. Firstly we need to forget about Net Zero because making weapons is very costly in terms of energy. We need to nationalise military production because the current arrangement is simply money laundering. We need to re-establish heavy industry such as steel production, we can't rely on China. And that means opening up our coal mines to get at the 300 years of coal under our feet. And we need to recruit people who want to fight for our values. Russia has all of these in abundance.

To see what going on a war footing looks like consider the 1930s - From 1394 to 1938 British defense spending increased by almost 50% PER YEAR, quintupling in just four years and this in a period when Britain’s economy was in much worse shape.

Ukraine was being allowed to decimate it's own, just like Israel is now, but the Donbass fought back for their lives and managed for 8 years, Gaza has nothing to fight back with but the parallels are almost uncanny... West supporting fascists...

The UK has allowed in more illegal migrants than it has a standing Army. There are only 75,979 full time trained regulars in the British Army. In the last few years the government has deliberately allowed in 114,000 illegal migrants to cross the English Channel. The majority of them are Hezbollah types from Iran with a smaller number from Iraq. William the Conqueror only brought 8,000 men in 1066 when he invaded. Even if Defence spending were to double we are not in good shape to fight any wars and nor should we be continuing to get into endless wars. Grant Shapps is a big government statist who has lied to us for years about electric vehicles and now he and Sunak the Wimp in Chief want to take us into a full blown war after cutting our military for the last 14 years and totally mismanaging our defences. We are incapable of defending the borders of friends and allies when they are attacked when we can't even defend our own.

The media goes along with such narratives. The politicians in the US are board members of arms companies or recipients of funding from the likes of Lockheed. It is very high corruption.

Whilst it's difficult to go against that notion it should be understood we needed to have been thinking and acting on this 6 months into this war. Increase to 2.5% from appprox 2% by 2030 is hardly putting the country on, "A war footing". Where is the evidence that industry has been given the kickstart it needs to gear up the hardware our mlitary requires? Why have there not been added machinery lines to produce the 105mm/120mm/155mm ammo and the 120mm/81mm mortar rounds/the Sky Sabre production line takes how long to deliver one complete system to the military? We lose 6 Challengers in an engagement and how long before we have replacements ready to take their place? Then how long does it take to transport these items to where the business is being done? What heavy/medium lift capability do we have? This is just woeful and there are enough ex military MP's sat in the commons to have made their prescence felt long before now and fighting for everything from more and better married quarters to getting catering put back into the hands of the excellent Army Catering Corp and to innovative ways of getting youngster interested in going into the Armed Forces for short engagement/training plan with a reserve obligation afterward - on full pay of course. Everything except the ability of the service people themselves just seems to have fallen into a stagnant mess from which nobody seems to know how to extricate it all. Maybe we've just been at peace too long!?

What if we did nothing and left it up to Putin to decide to invade or launch a war against the UK, then it would be 'if only we had strengthened to deter him but didn't and now it's too late to stop him'!

Isn't Sunac being deported to Bangladesh? 😂

NATO is not a cast iron guarantee as article 5 is weak. As we left the EU article 42 no longer helps us either. Best we get busy spending money on defence. 5%

The U.K. is not in a pre war situation it is in a make the public fearful situation. The U.K. would be far better understanding that it is a pipsqueak and declare neutrality rather. Think about it, invading the U.K. is difficult and if you do that ….what is your reward? Exactly! We would be very safe.

"Project fear"

We've sent 50% of our munitions... And Ukraine has just had it all blown up in another ammo dump bombed...Again. Somebody has got to start asking, is this even an accident anymore?
