Concerning to see all the recent seeding of the idea that the UK needs more weapons and/or conscription in order to fight Russia.

Makes me reflect on what I would have done in previous UK wars with conscription. Probably would have been able to get behind the idea of fighting for the allies in WW2, but assuming I had the full context in WW1 I would feel justified objecting or going into exile with my family. Likewise with Russia in 2024 - they don't pose a realistic threat to us in the UK.
