@exRAF_Al Of course Russia is a threat to Europe. The Baltics, Poland and Moldova would disagree with you.

Russia is not the threat to Europe, China and increased migration are. The WEF vision is clearer for all to see. What other reason could there be to want to remove the greatest benevolent military deterrent, one that has a track record of defending you, from your homelands?
@amuse@amuse

NATO: If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe. If they get attacked by Russia we can discuss whether or not we have the time to help.

Workers are automatically docked 8% of their pay to be put into a pension - it will become a nice piggybank for Rachel Reeves and Torsten Bell to dip their sticky little fingers into. Why would anybody continue to save if the investments are politically motivated and dubious?
Josephine Cumbo@JosephineCumbo

Workers do not see their #pension pots as strategic national capital to be repurposed to solve economic problems. They expect their pension to deliver security for them in retirement. Government controls over how private #pension funds invest risk both security and trust.

@DrChrisParry For those unable to read between the lines here (especially the idiots who view Putin like some sort of messiah), the hostile nation is likely Russia. Yes, they likely funnel money into UK politics, but they are no friend of the UK.

OTD in 1991 the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany came into force. Despite how massively important the promise we totally got is & how it def was made, the treaty makes no mention of NATO allowing new eastern members. The USSR didn’t even ask for it to be.

@DrChrisParry He's not entirely wrong. The operation doesn't seem particularly joined up. A lot of elements are undeniably more reactive than would have been required of thorough planning and Int gathering had taken place. No doubt, the Iranian war machine has taken a beating.

I am not being disparaging towards officers. I am simply saying that to be a combat ready line pilot, if you have the appropriate skills and aptitude, 🤷🏻‍♂️ why must you be commissioned? You don’t even need to be a pilot to run the RAF these days, let alone the Armed Forces. Crazy.
Rush@exRAF_Al

Traditionally, the RAF has had officers as pilots because it once had a nuclear weapon delivery capability. That is no longer the case. There is nothing to prevent an NCO with suitable ability being able to operate, fly and captain an aeroplane. It was good enough in 1940..

@yozza370 @exRAF_Al No they were different times. Next, you'll be suggesting that the Lords of the manor, on behalf of the King elevate people to be pilots, because that's what worked with Knights in the Middle Ages. Today:want to be a pilot? 1. Join Air Force. 2. Become Officer. Simple.

Oikophobia, as coined by Roger Scruton, is a hatred, dislike, or repudiation of one's own country, culture, society, or national inheritance, often while elevating or praising foreign ones. How many of these people do we have ostensibly ‘serving’ us in Westminster?

@exRAF_Al The Officer entry requirements are 2 A levels & relevant GCSEs. Just like 'if you want to be a pilot, join the airforce' also, 'if you want to be a pilot, become an Officer'. It's a great thing to have Officers from a cross section of society. The pilot stream helps this.

Why should it not be a case of “not officers” or “not NCO”, but “just the best people”? I am not suggesting some sort of class war, and you should know that I am far from thinking that in the real world. But, as I discovered when I was posted to 1(F) 35 years ago, you could be a superb line pilot with a few A levels.

@exRAF_Al @Pete___Cole It does. Look at the minimum academic requirement. Amongst the 20% non grad there are a good number of serving soldiers & others from different backgrounds & work experience. Many grads have a try at other stuff B4 joining. The Army should recruit from the graduate pool.
