The next WW won't be fought on some faraway battlefield anyway.
It'll be targeted cyber attacks on critical national infrastructure which will bring the country to it's knees domestically. Any UK military will be heavily involved in humanitarian and peacekeeping duties at home rather than fighting abroad.

Well I guess if they are talking about conscription then they aren’t thinking of nuclear conflict.
It’s similar noises to that coming out of Sweden, Germany and others talking of a looming European war.

If you paint that on your roof the Russians might bomb next door instead.You can rest assured those "patriots" will be the biggest wimps if they're told to fight. Cowardice behind a keyboard isn't conducive for the battlefield.

In China, people do not hold much hostility towards the UK. For us, the UK is a distant country with great football, education (easily accessible master's degrees), and a lot of fans who love to yell "wanker" next to the pitch. The UK is not the enemy. But recent statements made by the British Defense Minister are worrying. They seem to be preparing to send their aircraft carrier to Asia.
I don’t think many people hold a dislike for China either. China is a global trader and is more likely to share many of the same interests as the west, domestically our differences are more stark.

Personally my kids have been brought up to stand up to bullies. No matter what.

I don't see the need. The country is full of patriots who keep telling us how patriotic they are. I'm sure they'd rush to the recruitment offices with their Union Jacks, thus obviating any need for bureaucratic procedures such as conscription, which would be organised by leftie civil servants. We don't want that, do we?
You don’t have to be a patriot to stand up for what you believe is right though mate. Everyone will have to look in to their own conscience and decide on what we are being asked to do and why.
