The military is dictatorial. Which it should be.

Problems arise when you have politics within the military........

IMHO

There was a 1988 British TV special, aired on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater here, titled “A Very British Coup.” A Labour PM went to the Soviet Union for financial backing to solve a British financial crisis, and he was overthrown at the end in a military coup.

But was Obama openly Marxist when he was running in 2008? I can’t remember now.

Corbyn’s been full on Trotsky-ite for 30 years, it’s well known about him.

I don’t think I am. Here is a UKIP MP’s take on it. While not seeing it in inflammatory terms, he sees it as unnecessary.

I remember that. And I believe the Labour PM was modeled on Arthur Scargill, the Marxist mine union leader.

I have read studies that say just that; military service tends to be reflected in older adults who are more conservative or at least patriotic. Whether it is causal I am not sure. It may just be that the liberals are more likely to make the effort at avoidance.

It would make for a heck of a civil war. I think you’re correct, as the military took sides, there would be a very, very sharp racial divide.

Sorry. All those article were written years ago, but after the EU had introduced inter-regional cooperation. Any one can look it up and see you are wrong.

You can believe as you wish, but don’t expect anyone to believe you or your sources.

The first hitch in that fantasy is that the Queen has no constitutional power to alter the succession, which is determined by the sovereign parliament, not the monarch. The second hitch is that she has no power which could enforce such an overriding of the constitution even if she wanted to.

My father was one of the least patriotic people I have ever known, but also one of the most conservative.

Winston Churchill said several times that “if you are not liberal at 20 you have no heart - but - if you are not conservative at 40 you have no brain. The military mirrors that.
