Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu lashed out at the recent report that claimed Britons will be called up to fight in an all-out war with Russia as the military is “too small”. Shutting down the claims, Dr Shola reached out to social media and explained in an ironic taunt that “Britons never ever, ever shall be slaves.”
Recently, the head of the British Army warned that private citizens will have to be called up to fight in the armed forces if a war does break out amid a crisis within the military, which is at its smallest size in decades.
Taking a dig at the comments, Dr Shola posted a video of her on X, formerly Twitter, and said: “Oh you must be calling to the native indigenous white British. Knock Putin out rule Britannia, cause I know you are not looking at me as Brit, no no no!
“Not this fine black British-born face which you have consistently called ‘non-native, ‘non-indigenous’, ‘you don’t belong here’ ,‘you are not British’, ‘go back to Africa’, ‘Your name isn’t English’ ‘deport her’.
“But this indeed is a very serious situation whatever shall Britain do. Britons never ever, ever shall be slaves.”
General Sir Patrick Sanders will articulate his apprehensions when he speaks at the International Armoured Vehicles expo in Twickenham.
He is anticipated to state that the Government will have to start mobilising men and women into the armed forces to fill the vacancies, as per The Daily Telegraph.
General Sir Patrick will refrain from advocating for the implementation of conscription, but he will use his address to advocate for a “shift” in the mindset of ordinary individuals, encouraging them to think more like troops and be mentally prepared for potential conflicts with Russia.
This is not the first time that the Army Chief has spoken of this arrangement.
Two years ago, following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, he expressed that the UK was encountering its “1937 moment,” emphasising the need for the nation to prepare for “fighting and winning” against Russia’s expansionist objectives.
With Putin advancing in Ukraine after a threefold increase in military spending and concerns about NATO military funding for Kyiv in the face of Donald Trump’s focus on the upcoming US Presidential election, the future remains uncertain.
Currently, Congress is attempting to pass a £79billion aid package, facing opposition from Trump’s Republicans.
General Sir Patrick’s comments align with those of Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, who recently stated that nations should be ready to “find more people if it comes to war” and consider options like “mobilization, reservists, or conscription.”
