On the bunker drill, the former minister said that all secretaries of state - not just defence - have a desk and a bed ready for them in a bunker.
This is not so they are able to survive a nuclear attack “for re-populating our islands after the apocalypse” but “because their departments are as integral to the war effort as the MoD”.
Because it’s precisely these politicians who should be repopulating after a potential apocalypse /s
Alternate title: “Former military guy can only think about conflict and makes war mongering comments to scare politicians and population”
U need to stop thinking of politicians as people its better to think of them as representatives for a specific interest group (ur vote, everyone else’s vote, and corruption) they make no decisions they simply choose which decision makes the majority of who they represent the happiest.
So you are saying we should have a people’s representation lobby group and bribe them to do our interests. It does make sense in a negotiation sense, even though it sounds very annoying.
That’s what democracy is supposed to be.
Not really, but i guess that’s the difference between ideals and reality. So, who is founding this group?
In the ideal the politicians represent the people. I’m reality it seems they represent whatever gets them money/power.
That’s the good part only the wealthy corporations can afford such things.
