Britain’s top military brass this week suggested that civilians may be conscripted to join the armed forces in the event that a war breaks out with Russia. In a speech yesterday, General Sir Patrick Sanders said the UK was woefully underequipped to fight an all-out war, and said the government may need to ‘mobilize the nation’ and start training a civilian army. The General previously claimed Britain was facing a ‘1937 moment’- referring to the two years preceding the Second World War. In his speech, Sir Patrick said Britain ‘must be able to credibly fight and win wars on land’, and could not rely on its navy and air power for success (Picture: PA)
