Good grief, the British have lost their minds. My husband is a Marine and he says the British Royal Marines are some of the toughest individuals he has ever met. I'm sure these policies will go over real well with them. What a disgrace!

This is the result of the world succumbing to the mental disease called "Liberalism."

Chapter Two: 'I Am Nailed To The Hull'.
"It having been determined by my benefactor that a term of service at sea would make a man, I accordingly left Pinckley Hall in the company of Captain Ned, and put out from Bristol aboard his ship The Raging Queen.
Captain Ned, I learned from my shipmates, was a very manly, virile, manful person, and a firm believer in strict discipline, corporal punishment, and nude apartment wrestling. How truly strict he was, I learned on our first day out of port, when out First Mate called all hands on deck for an important annoucement."

The British Navy's New Slogan: "Be all that you can be--on your knees in a toilet stall!"
Are they going to have recruiting for alcoholics and kleptomaniacs? Good grief, have they lost their minds?

Redux of old glory.. Britania ruled the seas by Rum, Sodomy, and The Lash for 150 years

Note what the article says - it isn't exactly a comfortable atmosphere in the Royal Navy at the moment for gays to be out of the closet. I think this Admiral is off his rocker; I have sincere doubts that in spite of his efforts that even if more do come out of the closet, it will be any more comfortable.
To conclude, it's another social engineering attempt on a branch of the armed forces that obviously is resisting "change". It is very likely to fail - and homosexuals in the Navy would be well advised to remain closeted.
Regards, Ivan

Vice-Admiral Sir James Burnell-Nugent, Second Sea Lord, said he looked forward to working with Stonewall[ the gay lobby group], whose founders include Sir Ian McKellen, the actor [in Lord Of The Rings].(Spoken with lisp) "Hey Sai-lor -- come over and salute the Wiz."

Gives a whole new meaning to referring to British Naval Officer as a Gay Blade.

The Royal Navy has turned to Stonewall, the gay lobby group, for advice on how to recruit and retain homosexual sailorsWhy do they need help? Buggery has been one of the quaint practices of Her Majesty's Royal Navy for 400 years....

A bunch of men standing around in tight white pants and they're having a hard time getting flamers? Hard to believe...
I'd think that and the flamer's fantasies of being one of The Village People would have them lining up to get in.

The British Armed Forces has officially recognised its first registered Satanist, a newspaper reports. Naval technician Chris Cranmer, 24, has been allowed to register by the captain of HMS Cumberland, based at Devonport Naval Base in Plymouth. The move will mean that he will now be allowed to perform Satanic rituals on board the vessel.
Gays in Her Majesty's Royal Navy? It's hell!

Apparently fighting and winning wars are not of primary importance to the
Royal Navy, at one time the premiere fighting force in the world.
how are the mighty fallen!
