Which religion controls the Army of your country?

What? Me worry?
My Company Commander never asked us what we were nor really cared. Now, come Sundays though, it was pretty much the choice between go to services or stay and clean the barracks. While there were some who stayed behind some of us "non-believers" would kind of run together and be a different religion every week. The church on base was huge and had, like, 5 different chapels for services of different denominations and religions in them. We'd just pick on to go to, though, I think, we tended to prefer the Catholic services for some reason.

Must have been the "New Navy", lol. We didn't have a choice. But to me it was an extra half hour of sleep because it looked like I was praying.

I don't know how new you consider new but in the 90's.

Honestly, it could just be boot camp location. Did you go to Mistakes or the Club?

The BBC is no better than the other MSM. Most have a Leftwing agenda and cannot see the wood for trees.

The BBC tried to stitch up a UK political party leader in their efforts to discredit Tommy Robinson and the political party here –


Pre-prepared as they were, their attempted entrapment did not work.

Well then, damn man, everything can be considered "new" to you :p Be like talking to my dad. My dad graduated high school in '67 and went in the Navy. Are you now a member of the "grumpy old man band"? 'Cause he sure is. :D

In all fairness, you should have seen the lifers when Zumwalt let us grow hair and beards, and let us leave the ship in Civvies. BTW I was in from Nov '68 to Sept '72.

You could not make it up!

If Steven Spielberg made a movie about what is currently happening to the UK, the critics would say, “Not a bad effort, but the story was just too farfetched and unbelievable”.

According to the leader of a British Political Party, it is not just the British Army that is being infiltrated by Islam. She says the British Police Service is also affected along with education, national and local government, the NHS and food production, etc.


Are any other western countries being affected in a similar way?

A far right xenophobic party with no seats in parliament can hardly be called credible can it? At least the monster raving loony party have had parliamentary representation.

Ill comment on the NHS. Without islamic doctors, nurses, porters, cleaners and admin the NHS would be right where the right wants it... Defunct. I dont know about you but i would far prefer an islamic doctor, nurse etc to tend my needs if im hospitalised than dye on the street from lack of care. Which incidentally, i have paid for all my working life.

Also, surely the police are a multi racial organisation, they have been striving for racial equality since the 80s

And is she denying fair representation in national government? Wtf happened to british values and democracy?

And without foreign workers in the food industry she, you and millions of others would starve.

If Islam were just a religion, it would not find it necessary to try to influence the direction of our society.

Islam is politically motivated and I am glad that someone with a high profile is still prepared to say that in these oppressive times.

Most of our politicians are afraid to speak. Look at what happened to Sarah Champion.

As usual you have not addressed any of my points but tried to divert the conversation.
