      Would you really want a man like this running your country???
      He served as an NCO in the British Army, after leaving the army he was unable to hold down a job for any significant period of time.
      He served as a mercenary for short periods in Mozambique and Sir Lanka but departed those countries long before the wars were over.
      Robin has no qualifications or experience which would make him suitable to run any country.
      He is a hypocrite and a warmonger encouraging further escalation in a war that he is unwilling to fight in himself.
      If Robin was running this country we would have been destroyed by a nuclear war more than a year ago.

    AS a RCT recruit in Aldershot in 84, i am well aware of what the Paras could and would do. Until myself and several other recruits were chased out of town, well they were, i sat there eating my chips from the chip shop. Mr Para asked me why i did not run away, i replied that if they were going to beat me up anyway, i might as well enjoy my chips. They stole my chips but gave me back the the bag with 1 chip in it. One guy said, you aint big enough to be a Para but you got some balls. That was week 3 in training, week 4 and above saw me get best Recruit at passing out parade. 162 That is down to that 1 Para that gave me 1 chip back and spoke to me alone after everyone else ran off. Motivation.

    Grew up in Aldershot and Farnham .was born in Aldershot military Hospital.
    I can confirm that Aldershot was a pretty dangerous place on a Friday and Saturday night, particularly around The Pegasus pub and Arcade. The town went downhill quickly once the Paras moved out.

      Ask him why he is so keen for other people to fight and die in Ukraine but will not volunteer to fight in Ukraine himself?
