Godfrey Bloom: Britain is being prepared for a wider war — and conscription could return!
In this wide-ranging and highly charged interview, Godfrey Bloom joins the show to discuss growing talk of conflict between NATO and Russia, Britain’s military capabilities, the prospect of conscription, civil liberties during wartime and what he sees as worrying parallels with the build-up to the First World War.
Bloom draws on his military background, study of strategy and interest in military history to argue that Britain is neither militarily nor politically prepared for a major confrontation with Russia.
The conversation also examines recent public comments about military service and national duty, the possibility of expanding Britain’s reserve forces, the Strategic Defence Review, the role of NATO, Ukraine, the United States and Europe, and the potential consequences of a much wider conflict.
We also discuss: • Could Britain realistically fight a major conventional war? • Is the language surrounding conscription beginning to change? • What lessons can be drawn from Britain’s entry into the First World War? • Could a future conflict lead to restrictions on civil liberties? • How much public support would a major war actually have? • Britain’s military manpower, ammunition and logistical capacity • Growing political and social unrest inside the UK • The economy, government debt and the possibility of another recession • Gold, monetary instability and protecting wealth during a crisis • Godfrey Bloom’s wider assessment of the current global situation
