How to solve the British Army's manpower shortage
@ 2007-07-22 - 23:50:29The British Army is desperately short of recruits. Young Britons it seems are not too keen on getting shot at by wild eyed Muslim fanatics.
At the same time Britain is apparently being swamped by a tidal wave of illegal immigrants. Call me a crazed right wing fascist but surely the simplest way to solve both problems is to give any illegal immigrant the option of being sent home or serving 5 years in her majesty's forces. At the end of their 5 year term they would qualify for British citizenship.
The genuine migrants would I'm sure jump at the chance of representing their chosen homeland in battle. The fraudsters would chose to go home pretty sharpish rather than end up patrolling in Kabul.
Go on Mr Brown and Ms Smith take up this idea, it'll win the next election.
