    Yeah, I don’t really like the idea of training everyone to be killing machines. But a national program to do all the other things associated with military training, such as fitness and basic survival training seems like a good thing.

    But arguably these are things that could be done in national education programmes anyway. The Tory scumbags are just trying to appeal to bloodthirsty gammons. They have no interest in actually making society a healthier and happier place, they are always only interested in wealth and power.

    Although, there may be a potential pragmatism in being prepared for shit kicking off with Putin. But it can’t be forgotten that they have blame in that rise to power too, taking backhanders and advantage of the right wing populism campaigns Putin’s been running for decades now.
