Deep dives
Britain may struggle to muster enough volunteers to fight
According to a columnist, Britain may struggle to gather enough volunteers to fight in a war due to the imported population and the lack of shared values. The author suggests that some individuals in the country may even be ready to fight for the other side. This viewpoint argues that the British state has instilled post-colonial guilt in Generation Z, leading them to have a negative perception of the country and a lack of loyalty. This alleged existential crisis, coupled with the failure of multiculturalism, supposedly hinders Britain's ability to defend itself.
