[News] France's Macron brings back national service

[pastafarian]

Why didn't I go with the Kiplings material, it's gold.


Do I have to eat the cherry?

why didnt you just explain why national service is confusing........is it a state secret?

 

[pastafarian]

That's was me. I asked a simple question and it got taken completely out of context. I expect nothing different from some remainers if I'm honest with you.

It was a valid question, those remainers didnt understand free movement is a political construct and can be by air or sea, it isnt confined to countries bound by land borders

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Yes but Brexiters were all about bringing back control and governing ourselves and there is France doing just that while still in the EU. Maybe that's the point the OP was making.

Defence policy is excluded from EU regulations which is why the EU can't set policy on the sale and buying of arms.

Sorry if I'm missing the point, but why will it confuse the Brexiteers?

I’m obviously being dumb, but why would France reintroducing National Service confuse someone who voted to leave the European Union?

Appears to be a straight forward and well explained article.
Im not confused in the slightest

Threads like this are just self help for people who feel possessed of a 'truth' but sadly ignored. A bit like an old Grandad in the corner banging on about the good old days of the EU. Misrepresenting and stereotyping those who disagree is actually a part of the reason they lost. Best ignored.

well this went well for the OP
just to round it off we need NSC Emperor King of the snowflakes to climb on like a bad smell in a echo bubble and say he cant read whats going because he has blocked

This'll confuse the Brexiteers.

You going to let people in on your secret why Brexiteers would be confused by France reintroducing national service?

Sorry if I'm missing the point, but why will it confuse the Brexiteers?

So it turns out that the Brexiteers do indeed appear to be confused. Well played sir

Good man.

I put his name on my ballot and voted for him as my MP at the last election.

Sadly it meant my vote was classed as 'spoiled'.

See post above

Why? I read it on the way down the thread, and it makes no more sense when you go back up to look at it again.

 

[symyjym]

Why?

Because I'm a rebel and only get out of bed on my own terms.

 

[Stat Brother]

French National Service - makes exceedingly good citizens.

 

[Two Professors]

Think the OP is just trying to get some publicity for his closing down sale.Think his brain is shutting down already.Probably been driving german diesels!

Since when is pro-independance a purely right wing ideal? Because UKIP?

Is the SNP right wing? Is Catalonia full of right wingers? Doesn't exactly work does it.

It's like saying that being pro a "united Europe" is a purely facsist ideal because of Hitler.

Stop trying to pigeon hole people who have different views from you, plenty of people voted for Brexit and are not and never have been right wing or pro conscription.

I'm sorry that you can't just label everyone on the other side of the argument with a negative stereotype, but - you can't. Sorry.

You’ve made one hell of an assumption there.

 

[SeagullinExile]

interesting. It seems the French navy wear bakewell tarts on their heads


Edit: Seems this has already been noted - Should really read the entire thread before posting!!

Have you read the article? France bringing back National Service is not all about military service.
