On 9th February 1933, Oxford Union members voted 275 to 153 in favour of the motion 'This House will under no circumstances fight for its King and Country', a result met with outrage from the political establishment. Sir Winston Churchill described the vote as an 'abject, squalid, shameless, avowel', citing it as a reason for Adolf Hitler's later brinkmanship. Ninety years to the day after this motion was first put to the House, would this house still not fight for its sovereign and kingdom?
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

I can't see how anyone can justify fighting against a country like Russia that never attacked us and very far from us, it makes more sense (still wrong) to fight the French or Germans. However, there is nothing left that we hold dear in this country: Freedom, culture, heritage, family values, borders and common sense ... have all gone
@chrisdavie8163

Very true. You are simply fighting for the protection of the Government and Royal Family. If you did not fight, they would be removed, but you and your family would obviously need to stay and work and provide for the economy. It's been the same since William I conquered us. The Romans. The Vikings...the list goes on. The working person still works regardless. We had French Kings who never spoke a word of English, yet the English language remained and nicked a few French words along the way. The soldier, however, dies. Russia hasn't even declared war on us and it's very likely that they won't even try as it's not economical for them to do so. We should stay well away from a war where America are pretty much pulling the strings of Ukraine and NATO on the back of an already failed war. It's not Ukraine's war anymore.

Why do you think some politicians are hell-bent on fighting the Russians not directly but indirectly? Since the break up of the Soviet Union the UK learn through the Soviet secret archive, that it was the Russians behind the break up of the British empire, because the top divisor to the American prsident at that time was a soviet secret agent, this could be the reason behind Boris help to the Ukraninas, and has nothing to do with freedom democracy and all that BS.

King Charles is a central figure in the WEF. What is the point of fighting for him and his vision of the future, over which we have no say, which would see us living a highly regulated technocracy without the freedoms we used to enjoy? Honestly, if you think that is worth fighting for then you're absolutely mad! Let Charles and the upper crust go fight for that if they care so much. Even in a world war scenario good luck conscripting anyone. I'd wager 95% of young people would tell you exactly where to shove it.

Don't make this the war against humanity. It is never inevitable, nor undeniable, however probable. "Evolution" is not synonymous to ____cide. _at the precipice do the fledglings learn to fly_ "War is never inevitable; it is a matter of choice, and often it is the product of easy miscalculations. Peace, too, is never inevitable; it is the product of hard work and we must never take it for granted." -- UN Secretary-General António Guterres tells the Security Council.

Double standards not punishing some countries and their war criminals, agitates others to act.

@jantt2193
@jantt2193 Год назад
You have just aired an assumption that the invasion of Ukraine by an aggressive Russian despot has nothing to do with the UK. You are wrong, so let me explain a little. After the USSR collapsed after the Cold War and some of its former states became independent countries (like Ukraine) there was peace for a while. But since Putin became president in Russia it has been his ambition to recapture those independent Russian States and make them return to the Russian Empire under control of Putin's Kremlin! Three of those states are already NATO members (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) Also these countries of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania are neighbours of Ukraine where war is raging. Putin has already invaded Georgia and Chechnya (look at Wikipedia on the Wars in those countries with Russia). If Putin captures Ukraine, he has sworn to capture all the countries of Europe. UK is regarded as being part of Europe so you see now, why the War in Ukraine really does affect us, especially as we belong to NATO too?
