Britain cannot defend itself or its allies

Britain is at its weakest and most vulnerable since May/June 1940 - “Our Darkest Hour”

Montage © Facts4EU.Org 2026

The abject failure of successive British Governments to invest in the defence of the realm is a disgrace

Our podcast editor comments on the disgraceful and humiliating spectacle of Britain's inability to police our own territorial waters effectively, through the lack of both ships and political will.

Nelson will be spinning in his grave at the sight of his beloved Royal Navy being humiliated by a lone Russian frigate.

In Episode IV of the Facts4EU new Podcast Series 2, Graham exposes our Prime Minister as self-inflated, mocked and shamed by President Putin.

Readers should note that our policy continues to be non-partisan and that this podcast reflects the views of one team member speaking personally.

The Facts4EU Sovereignty Podcasts Season 2 Episode IV

Our podcast editor talks about how Britain can't effectively defend itself or its allies in either Europe or the Middle-East

A personal view by Graham Dale of Independence Facts4EU.Org

He argues that Britain must take emergency measures to immediately release cash to give our military the tools to do their primary job of national defence.

In addition he talks of how the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have for decades provided military security for the neutral Irish Republic without any contribution from them to the cost. This must stop. Ireland must pay its way. Today's podcast follows on from previous reports and the last podcast. Readers may wish to remind themselves of our report on NATO spending at the end of last month as well as Graham's last defence podcast here.

Today's podcast is around 10 minutes long and is certainly worth watching, as Graham doesn't hold back!

COMING TOMORROW…

Observant readers will have noticed that this podcast is being run on Tuesday, instead of in its usual Wednesday slot. This is because of a combination of the news agenda and our current insufficient team resourcing levels. Tomorrow we are back to a more normal Facts4EU offering. Then on Thursday it’s the big one! Shared exclusively with GB News, this is a significant report which includes a major challenge to the Government. You do NOT want to miss this!

Observations

Our newest volunteer

You could join Graham and the other members of the team. Could you volunteer to help us in some way? We badly, badly, need more help.

And "Please, please help us to carry on our vital work in defence of independence, sovereignty, democracy and freedom by donating today." Thank you.

.
The absurdity of our lack of defence capability.................
.
The UK protects the Republic of Ireland an EU member, as it has no defence force, whilst the RoI supplies Russia with Alumina !!
.
Let's see if I got this correctly - can you see the UK's complicity with the EU and the irony?:
.
Ireland is in the EU top tier economically but can't afford a bath tub with a gun.
The EU with all its bluster can't afford a bath tub with a gun to protect its vassal nations.
The EU wants billions from the UK in membership fees to join the EU SAFE defence procurement club.
The EU cannot protect its borders from immigrants let alone hostile nations potentially off Ireland.
The Irish want independence from the UK (!)
The UK was a very major player in digging Europe out of the excrement in 2 world wars.
And then after the kicking it gave the UK after Brexit the UK now has to protect EU Irish territory ......whilst supplying arms material to Putin !!!
.
And you want to Rejoin?!!

What's the point of battle ships and fighter jets ? Iran already has terror cells located in the UK. Last year MI5 tracked "more than 20 Iran-backed lethal terror plots". Over 25,000 Iranians have arrived, and are still arriving, by "small boats" and the Government has no information about their background. In addition we have a huge number of Islamic extremists which are extremely difficult to track.
.
Putin has already stated he "does not fear the UK because they can’t even stop rubber boats invading their country or foreign men raping their women & children". Plus he said "the British people hate their leaders".
.
Kier Starmers response to the present crisis is to arrange an International meeting to "restore freedom of navigation". It's just a ridiculous distraction to hide the fact he is powerless to achieve anything !
