Starmer may be preparing his nation for battle, but he does not have the support of his nation. An Ipsos poll found that over half of Britons “would not fight for their country under any circumstances.”

The Victory in Europe Day celebrations coincided with the poll, causing no increase in patriotism. Only 35% of adults overall said that they would be willing to fight for their nation, with 17% undecided. Only 21% of women said they would take to battle, and 49% of men said they would like go to war.

Britan has already been invaded. The people did not fight when millions of foreigners invaded their country and permanently altered British society. England is no longer a Christian nation. They have abandoned their core traditions and beliefs for outsiders who vote for liberal policies. Taxes on citizens continue to rise as the government forces the people to pay for migrant social programs. Spending on the migrant crisis is expected to rise 30% in 2025 alone to an astounding £61 million.

Former Army officer Richard Gill, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan during a 15-year career, said, “The fact that so many would refuse to fight for Britain is a symptom of a deeper national malaise. We’ve stopped teaching pride in our country, its history, and its values… A nation unsure of itself cannot expect its people to defend it. That must change.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer implemented the largest rise in defense spending since the Cold War, with government spending on defense to rise to 2.5% of GDP from April 2027. He would like to raise that amount to 3% in the next parliament, marking a £13.4 billion increase per year.

Britain voted to leave the European Union, and now its politicians are requesting the people to defend a nation that was never even permitted in the bloc due to corruption. Support for the war in Ukraine has significantly declined since 2022. A separate Ipsos poll found that only 53% of Brits supported the government sending weapons to Ukraine, which is a stark contrast to the 63% who were in favor when the war began. Two in five said they support sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, or 40%, and Russia has made it clear that any troops on the ground in Ukraine will be considered targets.

Starmer is no Churchill—the people will not blindly follow his regime into a senseless war.
