The Russians are forcing 300,000 to join their army and that could be just the start.. it could end up that a million are called up to fight in Ukraine..

This government are pledging more spend on defence. Could UK citizens be called up on prescription if this war spreads to other parts of Europe?

As long as they don’t get paracetamol. It’s only 19p and getting it on prescription is crippling the NHS.

At £7 a packet it costs the NHS. I mean... How?? The whole purpose was that NHS buys in bulk and it costs less. By the time you have added the cost of a Dr to prescribe, a registered nurse to administer etc your looking at nearly £20 a time

It’s ridiculous but unless someone literally can’t afford it they shouldn’t be getting paracetamol or ibuprofen on prescription.

True but I’ve been offered them and I just say I’ll pick some up from a shop. Plus it costs me about £8 for a prescription.

the NHS doesn’t pay £7 a packet!! Good god they would of been bankrupt by now! The 16p version is restricted over the counter sales and no more than 2 packs. The 100 packs GPs prescribe are probably less than £1.50 a pack and deemed to be for those who ‘need’ regular pain relief….

Just to inject (sic) some reality in to this, in Russia and Ukraine, you can go into an aptecka (chemist) and buy most things over the counter including antibiotics. As to Russian conscription I would prescribe freedom of information.

There are major differences. Conscripts are unreliable. They are not professional soldiers. The UK has highly motivated professionals. I wouldn't worry about a draft. Those troops you have at current levels can easily handle anything thrown at them.
