I stand behind every single point laid out above. This government t have treated and are continuing to treat our armed forces and veterans atrociously. At no time should our soldiers or veterans be prosecuted for following orders given by a government, past present or future. Also we do not believe in this war. Our country needs all the help it can get right now as we have an invasion of illegal men with culturally unaligned beliefs and behaviours. Send them all back and protect our borders. Protect this country first at all costs. Get Starmer et al gone for they are determined to destroy whatever is left of our country and our people.
The great scandal of the political class, which Starmer epitomises, is their cowardice. They have never led anyone, anywhere, outside their political parties. They have no political acumen beyond surviving the next ten days in Westminster. They take no personal responsibility, hiding behind cabinet and committee decisions. They have no honour, and cling on to positions after it has been proved they lied or misled the public.
I really believe that if the generals and commanders in chief had more prominent roles in Parliament - as in the Roman Senate where you were forbidden from becoming a senator unless you had commanded a legion and also had victory - the world would be a safer, better place.
Stalin, like all dictators, does not listen to anybody.
Agree with all points made in this post.
I feel saddened by the whole situation and ashamed of successive governments that have treated both serving military personnel and Veterans so shoddily. It is simply disgraceful.
It is essential that Starmer listens to wise patriotic military voices . But he won’t - he only listens to his BBC-trained PR advisor and his ideological handler , ACL Blair . So he is going to get us into another dead end , adding to the list of catastrophes currently making our country an international laughing stock .
No troops should be sent to Ukraine without the Labour government politicians putting their sons and daughters first. Troops have been used for illegal wars for far too long. Iraq was against International law. The Syrian attack just lately was this legal as NATO and the UN are not at war.
It’s disappointing to note that the enormous crime and horrific destruction of the Iraq war is not put forward as an objection. Have the British already forgotten that the helped destroy an entire country based on lies, and that after the tragedy not a single liar was held responsible?
Brilliant post and absolutely accurate. Not only is the country’s military not ready but even if Starmer started throwing money into defence today, it would take years for us to be ready. Poor recruitment and retention caused by farming out the process to incompetent contractors. Poor procurement of equipment costing millions more than originally agreed and not on time has left our capability way behind where we should be and unable to catch up.

Thank you for relaying this to us.

Excellent commentary. If elites want war it's their children and client groups first.

Brilliant piece 👌 I've restacked it, thank you.
Thanks, Colin.

I worked directly for General Shireff. He’s always spoken with clarity and common sense.
I doubt the PM will take note of anything former 4 Star generals are saying.
You are unfortunately right . Hence Britain remains the laughing stock it is .
I cannot fault the awful facts at all.....
Mister Starmer! Mudaro thought he was safe in his bed! Pay Attention to the wrongs you are doing! And start to put things right!
Starmer needs to be made to listen - before there's nothing left of England including the end of the UK.

For goodness sake, enable payments!

…… not when ACL Blair is the Obama-like ideological handler , leading Starmer into all these catastrophes .

Starmer hasn't got a clue !
