Fighting for Ukraine 09:51 - Feb 28 with 3376 viewsbritferry

Under section 4 of the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870, it is an offence for a British subject to enlist in the military of a foreign state at war with another foreign state with which the UK is at peace.

A blind eye was turned in the 1930 for the Spanish civil war.

In Syria, they've been labelled as terrorists.

So what will they do if UK citizens now fight for Ukraine?

It’s certainly open to interpretation.., it’s

Penalty on enlistment in service of foreign state.

If any person, without the license of Her Majesty, being a British subject, within or without Her Majesty’s dominions, accepts or agrees to accept any commission or engagement in the military or naval service of any foreign state at war with any foreign state at peace with Her Majesty, and in this Act referred to as a friendly state, or whether a British subject or not within Her Majesty’s dominions, induces any other person to accept or agree to accept any commission or engagement in the military or naval service of any such foreign state as aforesaid,–
He shall be guilty of an offence against this Act, and shall be punishable by fine and imprisonment, or either of such punishments, at the discretion of the court before which the offender is convicted; . . . F1


Could argue
that HM Government have given licence
That Russia are not a ‘friendly state, ‘

We weren't fighting for our country, they were, and ran away.

Just seen Ukrainian refugees entering Poland, vast majority were women and children.

Irish fighting for Franco yes but I have not heard of Brits (English, Scots, Welsh) fighting for Franco, there might have been the odd one for Franco (not that I have heard mind) but there was a few thousand that fought for the international brigades from Blighty.

This is an updated version of the story, Tramp. Published much later after more records were released at the PRO.




To describe them as ‘British’ volunteers is a bit of a stretch. Out of the forty or so who stepped forward half were looking for an opportunity to escape or get messages back to SOE. A few were Irish, a few more had one English or Scots parent and one German. There was the odd Aussie or Kiwi with mixed Balkan heritage and one fourteen-year-old captured boy sailor who thought he’d been recruited by the Foreign Secretary!

There were a tiny handful who genuinely volunteered to fight the Soviets. A couple saw front line service of which one, John Cornford, was killed in action.

Oh now then, there was British on both sides some fighting against Hitler and some fighting for Hitler was there.

Now as you might have worked out about me us old valley boys, Sunday school and the like don't lie and don't like people with an agenda (which unfortunately nearly everyone not from God's country seems to have), I'm not accusing you of having an agenda per se but to say stories of there was Brits on both sides in the Spanish civil war, come on, no different to there was Brits on both sides in the second world war, it's skewed and gives an unbalanced unfair view.

That is why I don't like people making out during the troubles in Northern Ireland one side did this and they did that, hello both sides did bad things, this old valley boy likes balance and fair play.

Apparently "Renegades Hitler's Englishmen" is a better read than the one I put up.

Tell me, is Leanne going down on Putin again this week on RT or has she gone to ground terrified that if it all goes badly South she’ll end up behind bars?

"Legion of St George"? Barely got to platoon strength and although although the SS Insignia was created they ended up being incorporated into another 'foreign' battalion as far as I read. Did better recruiting in France, Ukraine and Balkans where there was more anti-Russian/Bolshevik sentiment.

I'm sure you know more though.

Exactly, just lots of them Afghans and if you think Afghans are running away from the Taliban in Afghanistan then there is a good chance it's Afghans chasing Afghans.

The Afghan tribes have seen us off multiple times in history and the Russians and now the Americans.

Why would the lovely Leanne end up behind bars, are you going make up stories accusing her of drinking again or something like that ?
