Where would you start to explain Trump. Simple answer is no there has never been a worse President of any Country let alone the US. I don't understand why people talk of Starmer the way they do. He is boring to listen to for sure but just because he is boring doesn't mean everything he has done or tried to do makes him a weasel or even useless. The Tories were in power for 14 years and in that time did nothing to improve anything and even were the catalist for Brexit the biggest debuncle of all. Just as a reminder it's why the EU appear to pick on the UK more these days and not who is in power. I used to hear "bring back national service" spouted quite often even when I was serving. I shudder to think of the consequences that would bring to the forces these days. Two things that make my body shudder about that. The first is that young people today would volunteer if they wanted to serve and would not be impressed by being forced to sign on. By strongly being against it they would probably kick off big time and would create mayhem. If push came to shove and they had to go forth and defend it would be a nightmare trying to keep the dicipline required to be any good at it. The second is that people in the "old days" had a much more subserviant attitude to King/Queen and Country. The powers that be were allowed to kick ass and bully in bygone days which would definately not be allowed now. The other argument is that the Sargeant Major would sort out any oaf who played hardball. No he wouldn't and anyway why should the Services have to sort out the Countries indiscipline that isn't why it's there. It was also the Tories who have run down the numbers with cuts not Labour. This increase in service personel isn't free so who is going to pay for it? I know lets take the pensioners heating allowance for a start. There is one solution which is lets all vote Reform and get Farage in to sort out this country and then the world. I mean he would never suck up to Trump or Putin would he and no doubt every youth in the country would sign up for service immediately.
