Two adjacent links above seem to indicate that we could end up with a British army manned (if that is a permissible term these days) by foreign born Muslims.
Does anyone else see the flaw in that?
In former times the army was kept deliberately small by the ruling powers in case it turned on the government. In addition regiments were moved around the country so that they could not form a local base and alliance with locals and then refuse to act against them if ordered to do so.
Nowadays army bases are consolidated and regiments stay in one place. What will then happen if the regiments are all “foreign legion” types?
Finally what does really go on at all the “Turkish barber” shops that have sprung up in every town and city?
Even France was clever enough to keep the foreign legion in a foreign land just in case the foreign troops that made it up should turn against its masters!
We, no doubt, will just invite them in, what could possibly go wrong?
Everyone who wants to see the flaw in that, can! A lot just want to do a ‘three wise monkeys’ on its ass, like with much of today’s nonsense, a lie will eventually become the truth if you repeat it offen enough!
We could always send the overseas contingent to Ukraine.
I think they will send the “UK” contingent to Ukraine leaving the “Foreign Legion” here to hold the fort…
More than likely.
Yes, it’s called “Treason”.
The Globalist plan has long been to drive Ethnic Europeans out of the Armed Forces of the West, by legal persecution, substandard housing, ill treatment of veterans, racist “diversity quotas”, and outrageous orders not to fire on the enemy in Afghanistan, for example.
Successive governments have been importing a Muslim Army for decades, being placed into every corner of the West, awaiting the signal to attack the helpless, disarmed native population.
Putin doesn’t need to attack the West. His minions have already undermined it from within. He has had no trouble with Muslims since he ditched his Russian wife and married a Muslim athlete who bore him two sons, reportedly being raised as Muslims, though faking conversion to Orthodoxy. Part of the Unholy Muslim-Marxist Alliance.
Remember what the Bible says:
“Never let the enemy into the camp.”
Given recent speeches, the House of Lords seems to catch up with “conspiracy theorists” who were warning of the transgender-agenda being the next big thing almost a decade ago.
That video clip above is well worth watching and I agree 100%. It is a cult. And when the woke mind virus invades even the armed forces ( as in the Telegraph article above, worth reading also ) what are you going to do? Anyway, no matter how patriotic a person may be who in their right mind would be keen to go out and serve King and country nowadays? The royal family is a shambles and the corrupt politicians who run the country have excelled themselves in recent years, and continue to do so of course, in showing their complete disdain for the British people by their constant persecution of citizens across all of the agendas they’re pushing. So is it any bloody wonder the armed forces can’t manage to recruit anymore? Who’d risk their lives for a country that demonstrably doesn’t give a sh*t about them?
Abuses of human rights are just par for the course in 2024 Britain and people are awake and sick to death of being screwed over by the out of touch mafia that sit in power making all of these extremely damaging rules that make day to day living much more challenging. People are also awake to the fact the social engineers and woketard cult are hurting their children, doing irreparable damage in some cases. Name one agenda, one area, where the government have done anything which actually benefits the ordinary people. Because the only people I see gaining any benefits are the invaders, the Islamic extremists that already have citizenship and the trans nutjobs.
Case in point regarding the latter. Yet another predatory man pretending to be a woman so he can harm children. And see how the press reports on such stories. This man is a ”woman” according to these disgusting enablers! And if you take just two minutes to scroll through this website you’ll see umpteen examples of dangerous and deranged individuals maximizing the golden opportunity that arose thanks to the woke cult, because now they have been afforded rights they’re going to damn well make the most of it and vulnerable kids and people, as well as the public at large, are at high risk as a result;
”A trans-identified male in Witney, England, has been charged with child sexual offenses following the alleged assault of a teen boy. Osareen Omoruyi, 51, was charged on February 9 with two counts each of sexual assault by penetration and causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Multiple news outlets reporting on the charges have failed to mention that the suspect is male and identifies as transgender, and have instead referred to Omoyuri simply as a “woman.”
The error in reporting appears to stem from a press release issued by Thames Valley Police on Friday, which announced that “a woman has been charged in connection with sexual offenses” and made no mention of Omoyuri’s self-declared transgender status.”

The Lunatics have now completely taken over the Asylum !
Yes, when you look at the Parliamentary discussions on anything related to immigration, it’s shocking how almost every question and answer and speech is concerned primarily with the welfare of the Muslim Army of Fake Refugees, and never about the ordinary British Taxpayers whose country is being overrun and destroyed.
Is “extreme” the right word?
There isnt an extreme trans ideology and then a moderate one. The whole thing is a made up delusion. The idea that there is something called gender that is distinctly different from sex is a made up fantasy.
It is as patently absurd as having two words for race. One, the biological one and another the one you “feel”. And that the one that you feel is on a spectrum and fluid. So today I’m feeling quite black, but yesterday I felt more oriental.
No doubt an entire dictionary of terms and concepts could be made up to describe all the different states of racial delusion one might have, but it wouldn’t make it any more real.
Part of the problem is that we have tip toed for too long around this not wanting to cause offence, in the spirit of tolerance but what we have done by failing to call a spade a spade is allow and even encourage mad, delusional behaviour that is now rampant among the moronic ruling classes.
Agree 100%.Many years ago I read a fascinating book called ‘Congo Journey’ by Redmond O’Hanlon, who goes off in search of the ‘Congo dinosaur’ Mokele-Mbembe. I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say he doesn’t find any Mokele-Mbembes. His conclusion(as far as I remember) is that, living in the tropical rainforest all the time, the local people have a very strong spirit tradition and the ‘dinosaur’ is a sort of spirit-animal. ‘Real’ – to them. But not really real. That’s gender. It will keep future anthropologists in work for years.
UNRWA gaffer, Lazzarini; ”How did that get there?”
Crikey, they’re not just ‘tunnels’ in the normal sense are they? Plumbing, electricity, tiled walls, cages for the hostages….man, these are some top of the range, very expensive, ‘couldn’t have done that without everybody in Gaza knowing about it’ elaborate maze of tunnels. Thanks Western governments!
”EXPOSED: Hamas built an underground server farm underneath @UNRWA
‘s main HQ in Gaza City.
That made UNRWA’s HQ literally the nerve center of Hamas’ terrorist army, which perpetrated October 7.
UNRWA is a Hamas front. Shut it down.”

Inconceivable that the Israelis didn’t know about this.
Indeed. All those collaborators, monitoring technology, and high-tech fence rendered useless by the Earths surface.
We are supposed to accept these headlines, be outraged and then forget about it when the next story comes along rather than expect something resembling an investigation.

“If the Gucci-heeled Downing Street dwarf Rishi Sunak could jump high enough he’d undoubtedly be met by two slaps in the face later this week, as by-elections are about to be held in the comparatively safe Conservative seats of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, and Kingswood, South Gloucestershire.”
Oh yes this will make glorious viewing ! I don’t even care anymore about Starmer & the Ginger Growler taking the reins soon enough , The Tories need to die on the cross they have made !!
…Gucci-heeled Downing Street dwarf Rishi Sunak…
brilliant description
Not half.
Considering the whole planet to be (more or less) a closed system, the ‘law’ of Conservation of Energy would suggest that if the Northern Hemisphere suffers glaciation (an ice age) the heat energy lost would have to go to the rest of the planet. So, a hot South and a cold North. In which case why wouldn’t the energy flow back and reach equilibrium again (Second law of thermodynamics)?
Hybrids are the only electric vehicles that are practical, but they still don’t make any sense. The extra mass more than outdoes the effect of the smaller engine and the minimal contribution of regen braking. And then there is still the threat of the battery exploding.
