Dunno if this shud go here or if its been dun. My first post in these parts .... be nice.
Anyway just been thinking recently, i know this wud never happen, but lets just turn the tables a little. If Britain was invaded say by a superior force, just for examples sake lets say the Russians (yes i know there not superior, just an example) wud u join and fight for or support sum sort of rebel force or wud u just sit and let the invasion and occupation take its place.
To answer my own question: probably not cos im not that kinda person. But dunno.
Just be thinking bout these things, especially with all this Iraq business and what drives these people to join the insurgency etc.
Anyway, soz if this is a weird post.

:thumb:
Have the courtesy of using real words plsthx
But in answer, yes I would fight. How could I ever look my children in the eyes again if I didn't defend their future?
These days I'm not so sure we have that...
I don't think its going to happen .......
The threat is more likely to come from our own ruling class - and the way things are, there won't be a lot of resistance, whatever they do.
:grump:
I think the question is hypothetical. But you also ignore attempts have made to invade before. There are still people around who remember the last attempt.
Was that not after we went to war though?
It was. But the original question didn't say whether the invasion was following a prolonged period of hostilities, in which for arguments sake, Germany has been reduced to a gas filled, radioactive wasteland and the final home to many of the British Army. In that case the only defence of the UK may be some sort of Home Guard, a few survivors from some Dunkirk type evacuation and any civilians who care to fight.
And whilst its unlikely that we'll eb invaded naytime soon history teaches us that threats can come up quickly (in relative terms). As late as the 1930's British Defence spending was based on us not fighting a major war within the next ten years.
with my chickens and my veg.
with my insistence on buying as much second hand stuff as possible ...you may laugh ...but i am fighting already ...i'm streets ahead man!
Explain exactly how you reached that conclusion please. I'm fascinated.....
However, in the event of a new fascist dictator I would probably go for defending my country doing what I can... That is defending the innocent, the comman man, woman and children.
Why are you calling me dear?
That was a question!
My point was that the attempt to invade Britain was after Britain had gone to war.
I don't see how that lead you to conclude that I was suggesting that Britain shouldn't have fought the Nazis.
Which is why I asked you to explain how you got there.
turn on your tap and drink ...stop looking at the few problems we amazingly rich people have and ...count your blessings.
take a look around you ...
comfort? ease? leisure? stability?
there are many things wrong in this world but ...i know if it cme down to it ...you would all mostly fight for what we have ...how do i know?
cos your all doing it every day already ...at the expense of the worlds hungry and troubled masses.
the play station generation ...
Clear the matter up. Just tell us what your view is of the Allies' fight against the Axis powers. Pro-Allies? Y/N
Queen Victoria,
I am cold and rainy,
I am dirty as a glass roof in a train station,
I feel like an empty cast iron exhibition,
I want ornaments on everything,
because my love, she gone with other boys.
Queen Victoria,
do you have a punishment under the white lace,
will you be short with her, will you make her read those little Bibles,
will you spank her with a mechanical corset.
I want her pure as power, I want her skin slightly musty with petticoats
will you wash the easy bidet out of her head?
Personally I think it was more to do with madness with drugs....
Depends who's attacking and what they're offering. I am open to offers.
