Dads Army?
There’s been a lot of press about the strength of our armed forces, and it’s ability to defend us, but worry not folk.
There’s a cunning plan!
The Government has confirmed it is planning to call up retired troops as part of major drills testing the countrys resilience for war.
The exercise involving veterans up to the age of 65 is set to take place next year, with the focus on testing how successfully they can be mobilised and equipped.
There’s just one teeny problem. According to former Defence Secretary George Robertson, co-author of the Strategic Defence Review, the MOD doesn’t know where most of them are!
Try going round town and city centres at night, George, and checking out bus shelters, doorways and railway arches.
You’ll find a good few of them are homeless. No HMOs or 4 star hotels for far too many of our veterans, it’s “here’s your demob suit and travel warrant, now fuck off ” for far too many of them.
“The link explains a bit about the strategic reserve, but Google James Knuckeys article in 14th September edition of the Daily Express. I’d tried attaching, but it’s paywalled.”

” We shall not fight on the beaches,
We shall not fight on the landing grounds,
We shall not fight in the fields and streets,
We shall not fight in the hills,
We shall surrender immediately ”
Fuck Off.

You mean we haven’t yet surrendered?
Could have fooled me.
Where is the British stiff upper lip?
Above the lower flabby, trembling one, that’s where.
And that shade of lipstick doesn’t suit it one fucking bit!

They’ve either kicked off due to cold or malnutrition or are hiding from war mongering bastards

Indeed, Uttercunt, as I’ve already pointed out in an earlier comment.
I always read through all posts before commenting. I want my comments to open up a new, fresh topic and not a rewording of something already said.
Do better.

I did 15 years in the RN, there’s more chance of Salman Rushdie opening a corner shop in Tehran than me coming back to fight for this veteran prosecuting bunch of government cunts. Fuck ’em.

Veterans are always fucked over, it seems.
My dad was crippled in WW2.
He was entitled to a disability pension, but it was kept quiet. Happened to a lot of vets.
He finally got it, 40 years later.
I’ll let you guess as to whether or not it was backdated.
The cunts that start wars never go and fight them.
Anyone agreeing to sign up, these days, should be immediately rejected on the grounds of insanity.
Also, remember, all wars are bankers’ wars,
