As France becomes the latest European nation to bring back mandatory military service, a worrying question has emerged: could the UK be next to join the bandwagon amid the growing threat from Russia? The prospect of a major European heavyweight – and one just across the Channel – reinstating conscription feels uncomfortably close to home, reports The Metro.
Since 1963, compulsory military service has been a thing of the past in Britain – a relic of a different era. Attitudes towards the practice have also plummeted. Reintroducing it would be a major political step, and one that is unlikely to happen under the current Labour government.
Europe rearms at Cold War pace
But as Europe rearms at a pace unseen since the Cold War, some see conscription as an answer to the UK’s needs in preparation for a long war in the next decade. France’s President Emmanuel Macron stressed the “need to prepare the nation for growing threats” as he announced the return of mandatory service.
Under Macron’s plan, volunteers will see “serious” combat training to “reaffirm the importance of preparing the nation and its morale to face growing threats”. However, they will not be sent to the frontline in Ukraine. The aim is to beef up the country’s military to 3,000 in the first year – and up to 50,000 later on.
When did Britain scrap conscription and why?
The UK has only had conscription during two periods in the 20th century – from 1916 to 1920, and from 1939 to 1960. The practice was deemed less effective and too expensive at a time when the country suffered from mass labour shortages. 1963 marked the end of an era, when the last conscripted serviceman was discharged.
Could conscription return to Britain?
Before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now almost into its fourth year, the idea of bringing back conscription always evoked a resounding “no” from Army and government officials. But the changing security situation on the continent seems to be pushing for further debate.
However, some defence experts argue that conscription would actually undermine the expansion of the UK’s armed forces in the short-to-medium term. A RUSI report said that given current capacity, “opening the floodgates to national service would impact on the training of the far more ready regular and reserve forces that the UK needs.”
What was the UK’s age for conscription?
During wartime in 1942, British men aged 18 to 51 and British women aged 20 to 30 were called up, with some exceptions. From 1949, healthy men from 17 to 21 were requested to serve for 18 months and stay on the reserve list for four years. National Service was gradually phased out from 1957.
European nations bolster military capabilities
France is not alone in strengthening its military. Latvia and Croatia are the two most recent EU countries to reintroduce mandatory service, while Poland is preparing large-scale military training for every adult male. Germany is also redoubling efforts to attract recruits. In total, 10 EU countries now have compulsory military service.
As the threat from Russia looms large, the question of whether the UK will be forced to follow suit and reintroduce conscription remains a troubling one. While it seems unlikely under the current government, the rapidly shifting security landscape in Europe means that nothing can be ruled out.
recent surveys have said most UK youth think the country is not worth fighting for
its been thrown away to migrants
so let them fight it
simple
Yeah. Try that conscription malarkey on the sink estates. Those people are just itching to fight the state and they already have links to each other through prison, drugs gangs, arranging ‘meets’ between football clubs for a bit of street fighting etc. There aren’t enough cops to control the coordinated unrest which will follow even if they put soldiers in cop uniforms. It will make the anti-immigrant riots look like a maypole dance.

Special forces ‘war crimes’ stain memory of fallen soldiers, says whistleblower
Story by Hayley Dixon
Special forces “war crimes” in Afghanistan are a stain on the memory of British soldiers who lost their lives fighting the Taliban, a whistleblower has said.
The senior officer claimed that the SAS had gone “down a sewer” during the war, shooting toddlers in their beds and planting weapons on bodies to justify the killing of civilians.
However, the director of UK special forces made a “conscious decision” to cover up the allegations to protect the reputation of the elite units, the officer, known only by the cypher N1466, has told a public inquiry.
In an unprecedented attack from within, N4166 said that he believed special forces veterans would “look back with shame” on the fact that in Afghanistan “somehow the amount of kills and the amount of trigger time have become the metric by which people judge themselves”.
“We didn’t join UKSF for this sort of behaviour, toddlers to get shot in their beds or random killing,” the officer said in a plea to clean up the service.
“It’s not special, it’s not elite, it’s not what we stand for and most of us I don’t believe would either wish to condone it or to cover it up. It’s not loyalty to your organisation to stand by and to watch it go down a sewer
He gave evidence behind closed doors to a public inquiry into suspected war crimes by special forces in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013.
In a summary released to the public, N1466 recalled how concerns were raised about the high number of casualties compared with the number of weapons recovered from suspected enemies.
He also told bosses that there was an unofficial policy of “blooding in”, a term which refers to junior soldiers being ordered to shoot prisoners to get their first kill.
The officer was a “senior member of the UK special forces” who at the time was the assistant chief of staff to the director and oversaw all operations.
He said that he had been told about a compound clearance where “a room was entered and individuals were hiding under a mosquito net”.
“They did not reveal themselves, so the UKSF1 shot at the net until there was no movement,
it was women and children. The incident was covered up and the individual who did the shooting was allegedly given some form of award to make it look legitimate.”
The British Army and particularly the SAS committed horrendous crimes in Germany in w w 2, and the holocaust story was made up to cover it up.
It will not happen in the UK. The state simply couldn’t enforce it, and most British youth is too for gone in nigger/drug culture to be any use anyway. No doubt a full-on war would see a small number of ‘patriotic’ dunderheads voluntarily joining up, but mass conscription would see mass evasion. What war is being used (the switch to a war economy is well underway), is to tighten domestic elite control.
Fight for wog britain? LOL. The wogs won’t fight either. So that just leaves the jew kikes…
Germans are generally smart people but allow their leaders to get them involved in…..any foreign power will do…
You would think older Germans would attempt to stop this!….
There are STILL many jews living there……crypto jews.
Will our new arrivals be conscripted also? Probably not. More ways to get rid of White males.
Hopefully the young men of Britain will refuse, after realising our enemy is not in Moscow but Westminster.
Please please Russia did NOT,declare war on Ukraine. It was a SMO ( read the reason why – Minsk 2 agreement guaranteed by france and germany is a place to start research) and note the legal difference. Russia is NO threat to EU or UK and why would they be? Perhaps the reason why eu and uk are pushing this false mantra is to do with dire economic situation of both. Why would Russia want to involve themselves with these basket cases
What they don’t tell you is that both ‘sides’ (NATOUkraine/Russia) are governed by the same global cabal of Jewish-Commie central banks/corporations/oligarchs. The war is simply a rigged coordinated operation between them, to waste Whitey in & ‘hasten the coming of Maschiach’–since all the so-called leaders (Trump/Putin/Zelensky) meet with Chabad & wear yarmulkes. Remember, politics is simply a guise for the religious goals/delusions of Jewish-Christian eschatology. Of course they can’t tell you the truth, since that would expose the reality of a covert world government managing world politics/affairs behind the facade of make-believe nations & choreographed conflict.
