Cleanse The Palate

 


The UK still has some soldiers, not many, hardly any, but some. Do you think UKGOV got rid of their Army because they thought it was disloyal to GloboHomo power? As in can't have those Praetorians hijack our rainbow power grab.

Maybe so, and weird calculus given the UK is baying for war. Anyway, here's what's left of the Scots regiments, doing  their thing:



Cheers,

The UK military keeps shrinking. Now they're dumping two frigates both because of their age and the inability to crew/man the ships because of dwindling numbers. I know that the remnant doesn't want to drop numbers to the point where they can't train enough to keep the ball rolling, but it takes a certain level of training in a number of very technical disciplines to keep a navy going.

So I read that the last steel mill in Britain is closing. Now I know that they are able to get cheap Chinese steel for probably less than making it themselves, but still. Forth Bridge? HMS Dreadnought?

It's weird, LL.

On the one hand they're baying for war and on the other making it impossible.

Two separate streams out of synch? Seems that way to me. And yes, a house divided cannot stand.

LSP said...

DOS, I saw that too. And granted it's vaguely complex but yes. If you can't make raw steel and your enemies can, in abundance, then how are you going to fight your enemies with steel things, like guns, tanks and ships.

Bloody insane and treasonous to boot.

The pipes and drums reminded me that my Lee Enfield No.4 Mk 1 needs some practice.

Perhaps the type of EFFECTIVE recruit - that is sorely needed -cannot be found and those available are woke at best and need transitioning from Mom’s basement in the worst case. Just like here in the US. I recently read that most are too fat for entry into basic as well.

What is needed, there and here, is to restart the draft. Drawing on history, Britain needs press gangs.

Britain needs politicians and leaders who see themselves as British above all other identities, and who put Britain first. What it does not need are “citizens of the world” globalists, nor the resentment-filled spawn of former colonies (who cannot shut up about their claimed oppression and victimhood when in fact they come from the 1% of their shithole country), nor City of London types, nor other such vicious, yet smug and sanctimonious parasites.

With the likes of the above remaining in power, all a draft would do is harvest more bodies to feed into the war/usury meatgrinder of the Global American (in name only) Empire.

If we are going to go about overthrowing governments and sucking the wealth out of sovereign nations, let it at least be us as a whole benefiting from these crimes, and not a tiny bunch of narcissistic, self-pitying, and often perverted psychopaths who are bottomless wells of self pity and masters of “reverse victim and offender”.

Crusty Old TV Tech here. Sadly, Scotland is no longer The Brave, if one believes the bilge coming from Holyrood nowadays. The Scotland of 2024 appears to be nothing like the Scotland of 1944.

That having been said, when those pipes start up, if ye hae any Scots in ye, it makes yer blood rile straight up...Ladies from Hell indeed!

LSP said...

Totally with you on Lee .303, Seamus. Need to put a few rounds through mine, too.

Heaven help us if we have to go all-in and call these kids up. People like my eldest will be in charge of shaping 'em up. There's a measure of hope in that, I think.

LSP said...

Good call, WSF.

LSP said...

Whoa, Mike, preach it.

Right on target.

Tech -- the last time I was in Edinburgh I strolled down the Royal Mile. All was good. Then we got to the EXCRESENCE that is the Scots Parliament.

I won't go on.

Britain is so short of troops that the stock photo shows three French TDM soldiers.

Anon, it's a weird calculus. Destroy your army and bay for war at the same time. Open to analysis, please.
