  1. Just how many 100 year olds there are in the British Army?

  2. Meanwhile “his” government are dismantling the NHS, screwing up the customs with Brexit, reaping the benefits of mass privatisation (including making paying customers bail out a monopoly water company that took on tons of debt when it was privatised, gave all the profits to its shareholders and then bawled to the press and regulators about how they need to increase prices by 40% this year or their shareholders won’t invest in them any more), and presiding over the largest increase and highest illegal immigration figures ever.

    Nice to see he’s got his priorities straight.

  3. Nice, probably means they’re not expecting mass gas mask usage anytime soon.

  7. Assuming there’s some guidelines on type of beards people can have.

  8. But you can’t you already have one if you ask for permission?

  10. Which problem solved with this law ? Or which part of the community was looking for it for ages ? Just wondered.

  11. Indeed. The amount of Muslims who sport beards as a part of their faith and style who’d not be able to enlist because of that.  

    I can’t help but feel that this isn’t for that though.  In all honesty, this just points to conscription.  

    Logically, that is really the only reason they’d do this. Now of all times. Think on it.  

    Looks like it’s France, The Dutch and us. I wonder if Spain are tooling up?  I am heading over there for Easter and will keep an eye out. 

  13. It’s cold in eastern europe over winter. Get growing those beards lads.
