On July 2nd front page headlines in the Daily Mail proclaimed
“Britain’s forces not ready for ‘ conflict of any scale’”
It is a great way of telling your enemies that now is a good time to invade.
It was the conclusion of a report by a defence expert, Rod Johnson ( not Boris). Supported apparently by leading defence figures, including a lord, a colonel and a General. All in a team within the Ministry of Defence. You can’t make it up !
To make it more convincing, the best thing to do now, would be to take them out and put them in front of a fireing squad for leaking state secrets. Or at least strip them of their rank and deploy them on the front line, when Putin’s invading forces come over the hill.
Unless of course it is fake news 🤡 with just a bunch of civil servants clumsily trying to get more money for the armed forces.
HOLD YOU FIRE ! OOPS 🤡
This secret MOD team could of course have been very cleaver. Perhaps they were learning from WW2 when Churchill dropped a dead body in the sea off Portugal with a briefcase full of plans for Britain to invade Sicily, to deceive Hitler about the Normandy landings.
So now Putin has to double think there may have been other miss-information campaigns. Perhaps our new aircraft carriers really do have planes after all. Maybe our nuclear submarines can fire Trident missiles without them falling into the sea. Who knows if the SAS hasn’t secretly been recruiting thousands of illegal immigrants, who have been practicing small boat invasions across the Channel in plain sight?
Perhaps the Lords, Generals, Colonels and people called Johnson really are very cleaver after all?
🤡AND ALL FOR LESS THAN 2.5% of GDP 🤡

This article isa little disturbing and not what I understaood,was the defence of the UK and Europe after WWII.
For one reason and another we voted BOJO to impliment ‘BREXIT’ this was carried out in a fashion, but not to my mind as a deep and finial soultion with understanding of all European nations in Mind? Today we await the results and political intrigue of our newly elected Government to sort the issues out???
The Media and especially the ‘DAILY MAIL’ god bless their cotton socks are now writing in language , not of understanding and consilliation, but ‘OUTRAGE’ and DOGMA to my mind at 81 years. The Government of the UK Nation may be lead and held by a majority of Labour political Party thinking followers, but or however the PRIME Minister the rt. Honourable Sir Keith Starmer, must think not as our previous political masters maybe as to ‘what was in it for them; BUT what is best for the Nation The Whole of the UNITED KINGDOM.
WE have been divided too long by personal political dogma, and ‘MONIES’. WE need to think of us as a EUROPEAN Nation [AT OUR ROOT], and what we represent, when we speak of individual and nationalistic freedom?
The daily mail ‘god bless ‘ them, and the moeies behind their media empire, hail from where? There registered Office is in LONDON, But whom are their investors, and a question? are the Investors interested in the News and gossip of the world, The well being of the UK Nation, or their monetory returns?? Are they patriotic or would they, will they sell out to the highest financial bidder, from which ever nation that bidding party may represent?
SOBERING, you may call me small minded, however I still wish to be called an ENGLISHMAN, and have a vote for a democratic government, and all this ‘FLY ASH’ being thrown around, by the media is unhelpful. We need confidence in our choice of Political Masters, and a belief that they will do their duty and continue to see us as a ‘FREE and Independent SOCIETY’ in this the modern world.!!!!
May your god go with you!!!
