Teaching kids to hate our country then asking them to die for it is the stupidest thing i have ever heard.
Exactly.
Many kids don't even know that the so-called "united" kingdom is not even a country.
Don't worry. Migrants will step up and save us!
Do Hamas have a Navy in Gaza? They’d get plenty of recruits from young “British” muslims and the totally dumb, propagandised, useful idiots of our younger generations.
the vast majority love there country it’s a hate of government
Maybe some of the imported fighting aged men, who clearly love our country so much and have recent experience of boats, might step forward to fight for us?
Why fight for a country trying to kill your culture, your national identity, your neighborhood, & your ability to feed your family?
Simple, in the case of war, an act of Parliament compelling you to do so.
good luck most will just take prison out of spite so in the end they still wont have soldiers@@jjefferyworboys8138
@@jjefferyworboys8138I agree, Ukraine shows us that conscription does work (as if the world wars weren't enough).
Forcing families to draft their sons (and daughters) into the hated army serving a hated puppet regime for a hated Empire is a recipe for success!
Go Washington and Tel Aviv!
@jjefferyworboys8138 Only if you identify as the fictional dead man the goverment has set up using your name, yes. Because that's the slave name. Otherwise, you tell the suits to go and fight it themselves because they have no ownership over you what so ever.
@@togarnis8096 Yes, I understand the irony in your words, but some may not.
The youths have seen what happens when the armed forces no longer need you when you get injured dumped on the streets while invaders relax and unwind in luxury apartments top hotels..
Well said. Why would anyone go into the meat grinder for a country that openly despises its people and is trying to actively demolish the nation state!
We'll be fighting the Communist and Fascist regimes at home before long.
The history of Great Britain as pertaining to their Naval force should include the use of press gangs used to force ordinary men into bondage via conscription - but Nigel wouldn't dare mention those historically dishonourable and unsavory practices...
Tyranny & oppression were the order of the day - very similar to the system Communists employ.
We illegally invaded or offered air support in
Iraq
Afghanistan
Syria
Libya
Lebanon
Yemen. And you talk about illegal invaders WOW!!!!!!!!!!
@@Lee-wv8vnAnd always win.
How can we ask our kids to defend a country we have already given away ?
It's been sold to the highest bidder best thing you can do nowadays is network as that's your networth and just look after yourself as the government won't so be careful
Exactly, i was in the process of joining the army before i realised i don't want to die fighting for a nation in this state. No freedom, taxes like we're socialist but lacking any socialist benefits and immigration to the point that i'll never own a house. UK is on the knife edge of cultural and economic collapse
Or they refuse to work for a Woke military.
Does this hurt your feelings?
We are politically correcting ourselves into losing war.
What war? You are handing it over.
🤡
@@AngloSaxon66 what are you blabbering on about you fool?
No point having a navy when the Enemy is already within our borders!
Very good point.
Well said.
You'd probably be putting your life on the line to defend your enemy within,against their allies.
Insane 🥸
The answer is simple. We do not look after our veterans. We do not pay serving men and women enough. The country is hardly worth defending anyway because our politicians are giving it away to foreigners. Present recruiting is governed by "diversity".
What did you expect?
Well said
Spot on!
Go woke , go broke ! The Royal Navy isnt exempt
Very well said
if you took away the members of the forces who are not white you are lost.
the facts are simple look at the numbskulls supporting britain on remeberance day.
fighting the police, throwing stones, all lay abouts all wonderfully patriotic,
these are the guutless idiots who wont join the forces along with nigel farage.
ex commando forces 19 years, how about you, fought for your country have you
WAKE UP
To encourage people to put their lives on the line they need belief in the country they serve as previous generations had
why would any youngster fight for a country they have been taught to hate, it's a sad sad day, when the woke youth of today worry about hurty feelings, rather than protecting their country.
Are your feelings hurt?
The only protection this country needs is from the people who run it.
I dont hate my country, i hate the system it represents which has failed the majority of the people and therefore failed the country.
@@viper_fanwhen the fate of this great country is in jeopardy to the corrupt old serpents and the deluded brain dead wokies that they weaponise you should focus more on retaining it then worrying about our feelings. Give it time and your daughters and sisters will soon have traumatic news about their lost dignity to illegal black gangs who don’t speak a word of English 🤦🏽♂️💀
Like you? Face it all brits are weak,the world knows this
As a former member of the armed forces, I do not blame the current generation for not wanting to join up. When I joined up 34 years ago, we still had a country that was worth defending. This is a problem that will only become worse as time passes because our education system is indoctrinating our children (the declining numbers that are actually being born) into hatred of our country and everything it stands for. At the same time, successive governments have shown a complete lack of concern for the needs and welfare of their native population whilst allowing rampant and uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration to swamp our country and destroy our culture. Then we consider that our armed forces have been totally consumed by wokery and openly discriminate against our indigenous population when recruiting. Am I surprised that they now have a recruitment crisis? Not one bit.
100% correct all the way.
Very well put!
Well said .
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well said.
I am glad Twmpa that you say legal and illegal immigration because most people don't mention legal immigration which is actually our biggest immigration problem.
I assume that like the RAF, the RN are only drawing personnel from a pool of diverse and woke candidates.
Unless the Royal Navy has changed
a lot; many of the draconian rules
and other traditional practices are
tough for someone who has grown
up in the Internet world with more
relaxed social rules. (I do recall that
the RN did abandon it's rum ration)
A couple of years ago, at HMS Nelson , a shore establishment in Portsmouth , flew the Gay Pride Flag next to the White Ensign , it was featured in the local Newspaper and highlighted on social media ,
When i commented i thought it was disrespectful to fly a rainbow coloured flag , next to the Ensign that untold thousands of men and boys had given their lives for over the last 300 years , i received a lot of vile responses labelling me as homophobic and bigoted ,
So i think its society that has changed , drastically , and not for the better
Mainly gays
I was in the Army in the 2000's - women were given much more leeway for time off sick / failing physicals etc (women would be given second chances, men would be binned). But they got the same title and promotion opportunities despite their lower proven ability.
As an American, we were all taught in primary school, that Britain rules/ruled the waves. How sad to see the Royal Navy, reduced to a mere husk of it's former glory. That Navy man is correct. There are major conflicts coming our way, in the near future. And we in America, need the UK, Canada, Australia's help. We cannot do it alone. Love from the States.
The UK is finished it will soon become another Islamic state.
Then you were taught rubbish because after world war 2 British empire was finished and has never truly recovered
I think China will give the US a bloody nose so best US keeps out and stays home.
We in the uk ,as well as many other countries are being destroyed from within,I personally do not trust any politician.
@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus There is actually a historical precedent for the situation that we have, although it didn't have a good outcome.
In the years between WW1 and WW2, the French govt massively reduced spending on the military and on the defence of the country. It even prompted one minister to say that the problem was democracy, as the govt was prepared to spend money on any voters that were complaining about anything, but were ignoring the long term necessities for the country, such as being able to defend itself.
Eventually WW2 turned up and the country that didn't spend sufficient money on it's own defence was occupied and split into two parts, while the govt was in exile in the south of England.
Patriotism gets people to join, fair pay would get them to stay in. The pension has been gutted, budgets slashed and numbers cut. No wonder they cant recruit
Can't blame them, the pay is poor, the work is hard and they get treated crap plus discarded when used up.
The streets are full of people who gave everything but aren't even worthy of a rundown council house for all their service.
Meanwhile foreigners are treated like royalty.
You can't even con people with patriotism anymore as each day England is less and less British, both in population and culture.
Our own flag is illegal to show but foreign hate flags that support terror groups are fine.
People won't fight for that, fighting for England these days is like fighting for a country that isn't your own and people just won't do that for crap pay.
The wars we've been involved in have been a disgrace. Who would join up to fight corporate wars and bankers conquests on behalf of Wall Street?
Only to be dropped like the Veterans are dropped? Prosecuted?
Oh and then there's the problem we have with straight white men... are the ethnic minorities and women not filling the ranks now there are no competent white men there?
Colour me surprised.
I loved my time in navy and have a family amongst the people I trained and served with. I received £38 a fortnight on joining and £100 a month when I left as a qualified naval nurse. Many of my colleagues were in the Falklands conflict and we lost a lot of them. It is disgusting that fairies with hurty feelings are allowed to make a mockery of our services and I bet they are the first to jump ship .
@@dave4803well said 👌🏻
@dave4803 why don't they just buy a house when they are in the forces?
Flying the pride flag from the main mast, or projecting the pride flag onto the superstructure of RN warships, does not inspire. Unfortunately, both the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force have pursued policies that actively discourage young men from wanting to join. The army isn't quite so bad but is gradually going the same way. As General Dannatt has said previously, the MOD has undermined the whole ethos of being a soldier.
Actively DISCRIMINATED against white, heterosexual, males. The very core of what armed forces require.
Whenever I see recruitment ads for the RN on Facebook, it's always girls they show in the pics.
@@jimsimpson1006 Tends to suggest that is who they are aiming at recruiting - presumably so that they can have a "gender balance".
Note to top brass: If your recruiting is aimed at girls, don't be surprised if you have a shortage of men applying.
@@jimsimpson1006 Yep, white, heterosexual males need not apply.
@@craigs3007I just don’t understand why they want a gender balance. Because I can assure you when the shit hits the fan and you’ve got casualties or heavy weapons to carry you want a 20 stone man not a flimsy little woman. Facts are facts and there no room for feelings in combat.
What is the point in joining the army, navy or airforce when we can't even defend our Country from boat people? My town has a hotel full of young boat men who seem to love to kick a football about the hotel carpark. I know nothing about these men or even if they're dangerous or not.
All of this is occurring because this
is what the elite want. All three
groups of the people who want a
one-world-government are working
together to undermine the UK
and Western culture/societies.
1.) Socialists/Marxists/Communists
2.) WEF crowd
3.) Islam
All 3 groups hate each other but
they have a common goal to
defeat traditional values and
Western culture.
Socialists and Islamists use
common methods. CRT and
DEI are just tools to oppress
their enemy (White Europeans)
The WEF crowd encourages
illegal migration and the
lowering of wages as well
as the standard of living for
people in the West.
All three groups have already
raised havoc with people all
over the world!
Oh no, they play football! 😮

2.) ALL of them arrived ILLEGALLY

FYI: Putin was and still is KGB .. you never

control Russia ... i.e. "Siloviki"
FYI: CCP has set up "police offices" in both
Canada and USA to monitor,
intimidate and (if necessary) kidnap and
kill Chinese people in USA and/or their
children who are here. CIA and FBI are
chasing down leads about these offices
all the time shutting down these offices
and trying to prosecute the leaders
(most of whom escape and leave some
"useful idiot" to be arrested)
I am sure that something similar is
going on in UK with various groups
and countries (e.g. Russians poisoned)
FYI: Communist party is alive and well in
both UK and USA. It's operatives
seek to undermine Western societies.
Condolences to your loss of the last SAS warfighter. They were the greatest generation 🇬🇧🇺🇸
More needs to be said about the recruitment process; when the recruiters are screening candidates based on meeting diversity quotas its doomed to fail, Just take a look at the RAF (I have first hand experience of this). Its a joke and I can only assume its being done on purpose.
Yes, we do it on purpose.
What are you going to do? Cry?
@@viper_fan nah mate moan, like your fathers wife
No soldiers = no defence = an easy target….. it’s DELIBERATE. Same thing is happening in the USA where military service has always been highly regarded and respected. If it can happen there we are all doomed
If only we had the Empire we could meet all the diversity quotas by signing up all the Indians and Caribbeans.
Maybe our youngsters don't want to defend this country when they'll NEVER even afford a roof over their head at this rate...
Can you not afford a house in the forces?
Most of the UK has been sold off to foreign banks and the Qataris......
Does your military not provide for housing for retirees? In India we have the Army Welfare Housing Organization that provides apartments to serving and veteran Armymen on a "no-profit no-loss" basis. Other than that various state governments have their own offerings. Yes you have to pay for it, but the price is usually reasonable compared to the pay.
If a retired Copper foiling a shoplifter gets hung out to dry by the system, why the F would you want to put your life on the line to defend that system
Im near to retirement but sadly if i was young again looking around me the state things are in i wouldn't be keen to fight for this country now. There is no sense of community the youngsters have lost interest in anything and the people that are living as guests here are only in their own self styled ghettos in our cities. The west not just Britain is the same and leaders like Putin must notice this most of our politicians like Rishi Sunak have no ties or historical sense of purpose with this country. We are now a rudderless ship just drifting towards the rocks.

@@Pius-XI Times have changed.
Actually most young men are not woke but the adverts for the forces have gone very woke.
Most young men have wisen up the past decade alone, we view life as a expandable resource and not a unique experience when it comes to war and people in power.
This is not true. The countries has been given away to foreigners and there is nothing left to fight for anymore. This isn’t 1940
Why would they defend something that they are taught to hate in school?
Eight million quid a day on housing migrants who shouldn't even be here in four and five star hotels yet we can't pay our jolly Jack Tars any more than burger flippers in McDonald's!
6 Billion off in a single day under Truss. I don't think migrants are really a reasonable target for financial concerns given recent events.
Four & five star hotels, 😂😂😂, well & truly hypnotised by gbnews.
Maybe it was the navy's woke recruitment that has put people off choosing the navy or army, etc, as a career path !
I admire the Ukrainians.
They have an obvious love of their nation and the commensurate willingness to sacrifice their lives in the pursuit of repelling the invaders.
In the UK, they offer no resistance to invaders, instead house them in quality accommodation, offer them health and dental care, pocket money and pay for their legal costs for human rights to be pursued.
The difference between a country with a backbone and a soft weak country with none
You admire Nazis?
Ukraine's invaders are the US corporations but they wont realize that till they notice they dont own anything anymore
Is that why there are so many Ukrainians here? Are they planning to go back home to rebuild their country? Or do they prefer to stay here?
Agree about the invaders though. The govt acts as if offering all those goodies will act as a discouragement.
I’d disagree with that. Many of the Ukraine men fled and why wouldn’t they. Zelinsky is a con man and has turned his country to rubble for back handers
This country is so lost! God bless Mike🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The so-called "united" kingdom is not a country.
Gone forever.😪
Britain used to be a relatively homogeneous society. There was some bickering amongst Welsh, Irish, Scots and English but overall they were culturally compatible and assimilated into whatever local area they lived in. Multiculturalism (i.e. you can keep your own culture rather than assimilate) has balkanized western countries to the point people wonder what culture or way-of-life they are supposed to be defending. What does being British even mean anymore? I don't think the people of the Great War or WW2 thought it was having the same passport.
If you recall, sometime last year there was a bit of a dust up in Sudan. The RN had to go there to "evacuate British citizens". You couldn't actually tell the difference between the "British citizens" and the locals though.
So clearly a Sudanese can turn up in the UK and become British by living here for a few years and passing a test. Then they can go and live in Sudan with a British passport, and presumably receiving benefits that they don't have to physically go into the unemployment office to sign for.
It's almost like it's been done on purpose... A once proud island race, responsible for so much greatness, taught to hate themselves. A bitter tragedy.
Irish and English culturally compatible ? When was that ?
When the hell were the Irish & english culturally compatible? The Irish hated the English for centuries
@@chunk9480 That sounds like karma. Because when you say "a proud civilization, responsible for so much greatness, taught to hate themselves. A bitter tragedy", I am reminded of what the British Raj did to India. That said, I hope this nonsense stops. India today doesn't benefit from the death and destruction of British culture and its replacement by Pakistanis and other similar breeds. On the contrary, it might be harmful to India. So I hope you are able to stop this cultural warfare. The world needs a resurgence of nationalism to defeat the globalist elite.

People marching for Palestine and Ukraine and then on Remembrance Day the natives are getting attacked left right and centre by the woke police. Not even a country worth saving at this point, immigration and influx of cultures have ruined this once great country
What is the incentive anymore to join and possibly put your life on the line , you allow the people from questionable associations come and become citizens , than once they are allowed to stay they start protesting in favour of the enemy . So if the politicians don't care who is living in the country it certainly doesn't inspire anyone to go and protect it .

This isn't about a woke generation seeking glamourous careers.

A government that does not serve the people cannot expect the people to serve the government.

Men went to fight at sea for Christendom, but now that christ has been booted out of this land whats left?

Could it also be all the diversity hires and lowering of standards to allow female recruits to join has made the job unattractive for traditional sailor types, most men used to join because they wanted to be part of a tough group of men doing a dangerous job, now looking at how weak and woke some recruits are they just don't want to be seen in the same group.
I suspect it is the opposite. Lads don't want to join the forces BECAUSE the very services themselves are too woke.
How many people in Birmingham would join the British army??
By voting for the same parties and politicians we are all to blame. Time to think outside the box.

I served for 10 years in the RN Fleet Air Arm, they were the very best unforgattable days of my life ... Once Navy Always Navy :)
I did want to join the FAA as a engineer once I get my driving license, but I’m not convinced anymore.
I joined in 1959 and to think back to the number of ships we had at sea then compared to today is heart breaking. All the great garrison towns and dockyards, Chatham, Portsmouth, Devonport et al, withered away to nothing.
Yes it is disgraceful
Same as the fishing boats. In Aberdeen in the 1950's there were hundreds of fishing boats, now there is only 7. Our Governments gave away our fishing lanes to other countries.
Through years of neglect and downsizing.
This sad attempt divert from the real issues demeans and insults serve personnel
@HmsRoyalNavy
....the second biggest carrier fleet, with no %^&$ing planes 😂😂
Please spare me.
I joined some ten years after you, not long after the Victorious fire. The dockies said at the time, saying that the damage would reasonably easy and quick to repair, so what did the government politicians do, scrapped her because they needed to cut, even in those days, the defence budget. Ever since, successive politicians have cut, cut and cut some more. Even Maggie Thatcher's government, with John Knott, slashed the navy, making the Argentinan's think that we didn't care about the Falkland Islands, hence invasion, hence the Royal Navy was spared for while. However in the past 30 years it has been cut beyond all recognition. I have been based in Rosyth, Chatham, Portland, Plymouth and Portsmouth during my career, now look at it. A total disgrace!!!
Having served in a TA & RAF for a total of 24 years I was horrified to find out recently that the standards of military pensions have been severely reduced. I received my pension after serving 22 years so aged 40. It’s not a lot due to my rank when I left but it’s definitely a great help. Apparently that system has now ended & you won’t receive your military pension until aged 60 or 65. This was one of the main incentives, if not to join up certainly to stay in service for 22 years. Add to that the excess workload, the laughable (& illegal in some cases) diversity & equality policy which reduces a meritocracy to a race or gender system of advancement & you’ve got an unworkable & undesirable environment into which you have to recruit from what is a rather sad & overly protected & triggered generation who feel they are owed or deserve everything in life. We are going to have real problems over the next 20-30 years with our military.
We've seen nothing yet, I can see lots more things axed and amalgamated within our military possibly replaced with civil servants and agencies. We are on track to become a small island defence force. I think all this is planned out anyway, Capita helping within the process of recruits deliberately turned away for ridiculous minor things in medicals. It's a backdoor tactic to reduce the size of our military without the government receiving backlash for it.
My son was keen on being a Navy reservist and worked hard and enjoyed it. Then they started sending people in with Wokey lectures and he really couldn't stand the political indoctrination. He's always been courteous to everyone, but the thought that one little slip for something you could be punished, he decided to chuck it in. The word diversity made him ill. He loves his country but we have falled to the Marxists.
Your son chose wisely, good luck to him in what he does…🇬🇧👍

I recommend moving to Ireland or somewhere remote now it sucks in built up areas
in addition to that, my own company have just taken on about half a dozen Ex navy lads in the last few months. Young lads. All of which are sick of how pompous the navy upper command is. Or how indecisive the navy now is, They make plans to go away, then they cancel. put all the guys on leave, 2 days into leave, they are all recalled. told they are shipping out, they all come back, to get back onboard to then be told. no sorry, it is cancelled again. for 6 months the HMS prince of Wales was planned to set sail. to get to the date and nope. cancelled lets go sit in Scotland for 3 more months. then 3 more in the channels docked, to then be told they are all shipping out overseas. for that to then get cancelled yet again.
From what i have heard from my recent new starters that left the navy, they are sick of being messed around. These men have families, and that indecisiveness is messing them all around. if the navy / ship decides they are going, then they should go. unless absolutely necessary to cancel. If the boys are on leave YOU LEAVE THEM ON LEAVE. it is not their fault you failed to have back up units to cover. again, only in the absolute urgency should they ever be recalled. such as a war.
I dont they want to join the royal navy to be a taxi service for 100s of 1000s of immigrants from france to uk . They are adding insult to injury !
I served 12 years in the Royal Navy and I wish I stayed in but from what I read and am told by serving sailors, it is not a Navy that I would recognize or wish to be part of.
What has changed since you left the Navy
Wow. Having served in the RAN, this is the first time I have heard an officer who actually has some understanding of what is wrong with both our navies.
I’ve a son in the RAF and a son in law in the Navy. Their living conditions are appalling and wages dreadful. My son in law has 5 years service and can’t wait to get out. Retention is appalling and nothing is done to address this.
RAF is best to join out of all three in my opinion.
It is being done deliberately in my opinion. Rendering us unable to defend ourselves from a hostile takeover - men without these skills will leave us completely vulnerable whether in the armed forces or on civvy street
Yep FTN bro better off on civvy street with a gun licence than joining those racist fuckwits in the RNZN.🇳🇿🤔

The Army I joined in 84 has long gone, totally unrecognisable now, the rot started in the mid nineties.
Why risk your life and limb to fight unjust wars in the name of corrupt UK governments for a crap pension and salary?
Who wants to fight for this crap country? Politicians have ruined it
The so-called "united" kingdom is not a country.
I ain't fighting for open borders and the pride flag.

I, as an ex Royal Navy serviceman, am totally disgusted with all the politicians. When I joined the service it was not that well paid, but was a vocation. The navy had cat and trap carriers, cruisers, guided missile destroyers, frigates galore, over 50 submarines, 50 plus minesweepers and a good smattering of specialist vessels. Each one of those ships had almost double the crews of modern ships, apart from submarines and crewed by men only, so I am at a loss as to why, with a much larger population and women serving in all roles there is no man/womanpower. The less personnel that are available, puts a strain on the people serving which eventually ends up with those asking, "is it worth my while"? as I can get the same pay, for less stress and a better family life, ending with those leaving, so placing even more strain on those left, a catch 22 position. Politicians need to treat servicemen with respect, pay them well and ensure that their welfare and that of their families are a high priority. Also when leaving the service, veterans should not be just thrown on the scrap heap, which seems to be the norm and has been for decades. Everyone who joins any of the services are willing to put their lives on the line for this country, a fact that these career politicians just don't get. Anyway rant over.
People are sick of fighting bankers wars!!
Spot on. The army should be for protecting the nation, not the interests of corrupt politicians and corporate interests.
And train drivers are paid a fortune for striking
They might have to reconsider recruiting the patriotic English, Welsh, Scots and N.Irish instead of replacing them by voluntarily hiring the fifth column.
You have alot of young fit men arriving in Dover set up a recruitment office on the beach ⛱️
They would be fighting for the wrong side and I wouldn't trust them with a piece of string. They are already smuggling arms in and nothing is done.
We don't want those people in our armed forces they are a threat to our national security.
I was in the army 06-17 retention is a joke in all of the services
This country has been ruined.
It’s lost and there’s nothing we can do now.
What a coincidence. The same issue is on our news at the moment in Australia with a pathetic PM Albanese simply side stepping the issue when asked. I believe the neglect is symptomatic of the diseased left leaning politics of the last 10 to 15 years especially. 🤔
Same across the whole West. It is not a coincidence. We are being rendered unable and/or unwilling to defend ourselves and made ripe for a hostile takeover
Yup the left turns all to utter shyte
Who wants to die for Bidens re-election?
Australia has mostly had the Liberals and National Party in power for those last 10 to 15 years you mentioned.
@@Bella-tx1rz but Albanese has really dropped the ball.
This once great and proud nation is now finished .
If you tell all of our children that they should go to university none of them will want to become an apprentice plumber will they? We no longer educate pupils into relevant skills.
OK boomer. I guess your grandchildren love being educated by you. 😂
Twenty year ago I was a Lecturer in a College. The Principal stopped all the trades like Masonary,Plumbing,Electrical skills etc and got a bonus from Government. It's all in the WEF plan.
@@viper_fanabsolute waste of air you are
@@HereicomeOz joke is on you. I am a bot. I am not a waste of air.
This started around 25 years ago when my stepson joined the navy. Part of
the basic training course, which everyone must pass to get in, involved being
able to run a mile and a half in 11 minutes or under, he asked the Petty Officer
training his unit why this was necessary on ships. The answer was that if the ship
was under attack by aircraft, crew must be able to shin up ladders and run across
decks to meet the threat, manning guns and fire stations etc; He asked why the
girls in the group got 13 minutes, the PO just rolled his eyes and said, that's the way
things are son. So, a discipline deemed essential was immediately compromised
by the ludicrous decision to allow women on warships, no wonder nobody wants to join.
Some of the best people that I have been lucky to work with were WRENS
Working class lads, like my brother, joined the Royal Navy to see the world at HM Government's expense, which he did for over 20 years, before becoming victim to HM Government military budget cuts in the 1990's. Now you can get cheap(ish) flights around the world, so why restrict your freedoms by joining the Royal Navy??
So with that as their reason to join I don’t feel much sympathy. You should sign up because you also want to serve your country
@@mogznwaz As a working class person, you join up to earn a living, and certainly in the 1970's and 1980's just to have a job, which was why so many RN personnel came from Northern England at that time due to de-industrialisation leading to high unemployment levels in that part of the country. Serving our masters was not the main motivation.
Flying will not get him all the bum fun tho.
@@mogznwazYou can serve your country in a hundred other ways rather than joining an elitist navy
As white man myself, I would not join a West-European military. You would be discriminate and dont have chance on promotion because of your white skincolour.
Its not just the navy that will run out of recruits. It will also be true of the Cof E. We can expect all future Cof E clergy to be either clueless women or dubiously sexually orientated men.
CofE are selling churches off. Muzlims turning them in mosques…that’s sacrilege…and nothing is said 🤬🤬
The country they fought for 40,50,60,70,80 years ago no longer exists. Now what "Britain" are we fighting for? Not pride in our country, not to preserve the culture and beliefs we once held because they are no longer acceptable. I know some people are happy about that but when your country no longer thinks you are required then why bother?
My father had 4 covid jabs. Each and every one he deteriorated more and more. Now he is dead. After his 4th. Just for context. He went from going to the toilet on his own, to needing adult diapers and a care team, to not being able to lift his head, then developing pneumonia and dying. Each stage, after each jab. I fkin hate this country. It killed my dad because he listened to the news.
Whether it is Film, TV, employment, whatever, it is a recurring broken record of a story wherever ‘diversity and inclusion’ is concerned.
All you here is “we demand that you accommodate us”, and the companies say “okay, we have accommodated you above every one else, ready when you are”, to which the response is “oh, we aren’t interested in taking part, we just demand to be accommodated”.
End result, the masses get excluded, the minorities get pandered to, the minorities aren’t really interested, the project fails.
Farage, Rees Mogg, Anderson and the other presenters didnt serve in the military as they also preferred more glam careers.
I left the RAF in 1985 after 25 years of service. During that time I saw one defence cut after another. When I first joined the sun never set on RAF air bases. Until 1966, that is, when the Labour government's policy was to withdraw all our military east of Suez and to concentrate on Europe.
There has been defence cuts regularly ever since 1966, which have decimated our forces, except for small scale 'bush' wars. A few years ago, I wrote in another blog post that I believed cutting our forces was deliberate in order to prepare the way for the UK to join an EU army. I believed the politicians would try and justify this by making claims such as 'Britain's defence interests are best served in cooperation with our European allies', or some other such mealy mouthed rhetoric.
It now looks like our treacherous politicians are going to sign the UK up to Europe's Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), which will be the precursor to membership of the nacent EU army.
If they actually do this, it wilk mean we will lose the ability to deploy our forces independently, have a sovereign military equipment manufacturing base and even have our foreign policy dictated by the EU.
That is why I believed and still believe our defence cuts are deliberate and planned managed decline.
I've thought for years that our politicians don't want Britain to exist as an independent country.
I believe this was the aim of Blair and Brown . To shovel the broken bits into the EU armed services.
God bless you Mike Sadler . A true legendary rest in peace
Thank goodness I did my22 in the RAF from 1968 an escaped to Australia in 1990. How say these scumbag politicians have ruined my beautiful country. I really am sad. Unfortunately Oz seems to be going down the same track, but not yet and I won’t see it. My children are middle aged .But I will protect my grandchildren as best I can and advise them never get involved in the service today.Can’t believe I am saying that so sad. One last thing, get out of the UK if you can.
The younger generation says : 'nothing to do with me'. They do not understand what loosing their country means. Especially with the govt giving in to Islamic rallies here.
why would a working class man join up when the the working class are treated as 3rd class and have to pay for the 4 star hotel costs of the dinghy divers from France
Bring Back National Service for All lets see how Patriotic the Bretherin Are??
No. I want nothing to do with the British state. It's the enemy within.
They will exempt them all, and you will have even more immigrants running a mock in the streets and the natives will be in camps.
It's not just the Navy, it's happening all over the MoD, wages are poor and no progression anymore.
IMHO if there's no perception of anything worth fighting for, why would you bother, I'm sorry to say, I, for one wouldn't.
I didnt realise we had a navy😂How are all these dinghies getting over here then
God knows 😅
Younger generation seeing through the BS ?
exactly!! no one wants to fight the rich mans wars anymore..
But they enjoy living in a free country, do they not?
Compulsory military conscription in UK for all males 16 to 25....those who refuse jail them
More like the TikTok generation have no interest in it.
@@henryvagincourt4502 Well it is free for illegal migrants. ?
Surely there are enough people that are willing to fight for the preservation of open borders and the pride flag? New times call for new recruits.
Why should you join up and go to war for some dumb politians,
They need recruitment offices back in the towns staffed by military, this all went wrong when they changed all of that. The serviceman working in those offices won’t work to quotas, they’ll recruit any who qualify.
I joined the Royal marines at 16 yrs 1 month in 1972 my training was 40 weeks duration and i certainly did not join for the money, we were paid pennies and we either passed or failed, we started at RM deal with 57 recruits 26 weeks later when we arrived at the commando training centre we had 11 recruits left. there too It was pass or fail we were encouraged but not carried. this is why today's youth and females fail miserably, our only aim was to pass the course get your commando flashes and green beret and get to a commando unit. training continued at your commando unit and you learned by doing not talking about it, if given a job you did it failure was not tolerated standards were extremely high but it was not as a group but as an individual. you did the best you could at all times and it became a habit , you would collapse before failing and if you did collapse then you would get back up and carry on. it was personal pride that got you through. if the Marines were disbanded it would be a catastrophe for our military,
No surprise. Go woke go bust.
National service would see a busy time at air & sea ports of the so called British heading home till they were too old to do service & governments would let them back .
I'm waiting for Isobel Oakshott to step-up and declare that the disabled and chronically-sick could join-up.
Britainabad. finished. Rump state. Capital: Londonistan.
Well with all these recent guests arriving who have shown us they have a natural propensity towards life at sea. How about a deal whereby after 5 years service in the navy as a rating they get a visa.
so when hamas and other terror groups come here by boat you want us to train them and then give them guns great fcukin idea
Why would you let the enemy into your military ranks?
I agree it seem daft but you know indoctrination can work two ways. Keeping any young male out of the military control of the Mosques might be a good place to start.@@tomg3131
