Great - ' British Values'???

Yes - we train our young men to march in time and fire guns.

Then they join the real army, and we send them out to kill ... Muslims!

Way to go Mikey Fallon!!!
"The reality is their devastating cuts since 2010 have weakened and demoralised our Armed Forces, leaving them poorly-equipped, over-stretched, under-paid and too often living in squalid conditions"

Labour shadow Secretary.

Britain now has below-par numbers in its Armed Forces. I don't think Fallon has thought this through.

I think Mr Fakllon and I have different ideas about the 'British values' we should teach our young people.

Training them in the arts of war is not my way of instilling the values I would want to teach them.

You can't really get a lot of the essence of respect for your fellow man when your education revolves around pretending to kill them.

It looks as if Fallon is trying to increase numbers of youngsters who could be interested in a career in the Forces.
Only someone as Anti-British as Mikey could keep a straight face when saying 'he hasn't thought it through'.
//the school was found to have been infiltrated by Islamic extremists who promoted al-Qaeda inspired views to pupils. //

I think both andy-hughes and Mikey, both so quick to criticise, missed that bit.
lol Baldric....the old "anti-British" remark !

I want our country to have strong and viable Armed Forces....why does that make me anti-British ?

Or couldn't you think of any other response to make ?
An organisation that preaches hate and violence infiltrates a school, and our response is to train pupils to play at soldiers?

You couldn't make it up!

///Britain now has below-par numbers in its Armed Forces. I don't think Fallon has thought this through///

\\\I want our country to have strong and viable Armed Forces....why does that make me anti-British ?\\\

The above utterings seem to be at odds with each other.

As for your last comment, I for one don't think you're all that bright tbh.
Andy....don't forget this is Tory Party Conference week !

They laughed maniacally when the late Kenny Everett said in 1983.....
"Let's kick Michael Foot's stick away!"
Why not just ban faith schools ?

I think they should ban them, for all Faiths
Michael Foot? Does anyone know what Mikey is talking about? Mikey, you do realise that you and andy-hughes are singing from different hymn sheets?

andy-hughes, unlike this school, the British Army does not teach hatred and violence.

hereIam, yes, faith schools should be banned - all of them.
mikey - //Andy....don't forget this is Tory Party Conference week !

Not sure what your point is here?

For the record - Kenny Everett thought he was booked to produce some ironic comedy for light relief, he was aghast when he realised that his tongue-in-cheek comments were being taken seriously by a baying crowd of Tory toffs.
What's a Tory toff?
Baldric....can't see any problem with those two "utterances" at all !

When it comes to military matters, I am a left-wing hawk. I believe in effective Armed Forces, that are properly financed supported and big enough in numbers.

There does appear to be a problem with extremists, in a minority of our Schools, but this isn't the way to deal with it. This is fodder for the swivel-eyed Home Counties set, that go to the Tory Party Conference, to have their own prejudices reinforced. its a dog whistle moment, and will be forgotten about at the next Cabinet meeting, when Marm tells him he can't the money.
lol Andy !
Tory toffs? Swivel-eyed Home Counties set? Who are these people? I don't know them.
'swivel eyed' - what a strange expression !!
Perhaps he's still rambling about Michael Foot. Who knows?
