9-minute podcast - In the event of war who will fight for Britain?
Will those of fighting age step up the way their forbears did?

Plus, just how woefully unprepared are we to face the renewed Russian threat?
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the so-called “peace dividend” has been squandered in creating a bloated Welfare State.
Defence spending has been cut to the bone by successive British governments to the point where our military is a hollowed-out shell.
Recent activity by Russia to map our vital undersea communications cables clearly indicate that these would be destroyed first in the event of war, reducing the nation to chaos.
With ageing and unreliable Type 23 frigates, the Royal Navy is ill-equipped to deter Russia's pre-action spying on this essential infrastructure. Indeed, whilst filming this podcast, it was reported that one of the UK's six remaining frigates, HMS Iron Duke, is being decommissioned despite having just had over £100m spent on her as part of a refit.
In Episode I of the Facts4EU Podcast Series 3, Graham comments on how woefully unprepared Britain is to meet the Russian threat.
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 3, Episode I
In the event of war who will fight for Britain?
A personal view by Graham Dale of Independence Facts4EU.Org
Our podcast editor asks a vital question: in the event of war who will fight for Britain?
He asks if those of fighting age will respond to the nation's call to defend their country, their friends and family and, of course, themselves.
