Excellent idea.

Let's ban dancing and Xmas, and that Zeity chap would make a tremendous Lord Protector, no more Mr Nice GAL this time.

Xmas should be banned! Its Christmas .....

Ireland. It also resolves one of the issues with *rexit.

Once we have united the island we could then let them have self government. Perhaps call it Ireland2.....

Bit worrying that frontline combat units are operating as much as 40% below strength:

UK army combat units 40% below strength as recruitment plummets | UK news | The Guardian

Bit puzzled by one paragraph



So what exactly have soldiers always done when there's no wars on? Maybe the forces should be responsible for other tasks like firefighting or policing during peacetime. A sudden shortage of those duties during a major war would be the least of our problems.

Crapita are in charge of recruitment, nice to see they're not just useless at IT...
