The National Union of Students of Great Britain passed a motion to call upon the Government to be more considerate to their subjects by having wars nearby with well known countries, rather than with obscure countries which most people and particularly students have not heard of.
There had been much disquiet and protest over the past year because students had to learn about countries that were remote and had strange names. There was a strong feeling that wars involving France and Germany should be reintroduced as everybody knew where these countries were, and they were much easier to travel to, let alone to find on a map.
The waste of resources in sending armies to far away places, such as Afghanistan was generally considered to be ridiculous when these resources could instead be used to provide more beer and facilities for students. Students also considered that it does not matter where the countries are located for war and therefore why have them in countries so far away.
France and Germany are lovely places to visit and therefore a war with one of those countries, or perhaps with Italy (which is easily distinguishable as it is shaped like a boot), would afford wonderful sightseeing opportunities.
There was also a second motion passed urging the Government to fight wars only in the summer as that was the best time of year to visit France and Germany and also coincided with the long student holidays. An exception could be made if there was to be a war with Austria or Switzerland as they had wonderful ski resorts and therefore wars with those countries could be in the winter months. After all, students had a break of a few weeks at Christmas time.
The National Union of Teachers added their support to the above motion as it was much easier to teach pupils names of nearby countries and cities rather then teaching them about places like “Kabul” or “Iraq”. Furthermore, the teachers holiday periods coincided with the students’ and therefore wars in Europe at the times suggested by the students seemed to be very sensible.
The Government considered these motions and said that although there was much sense contained in them there were other factors to also consider. Not least higher prices could be obtained for all the weapons and arms sold to countries far away as they were less aware of what the correct prices should be. Also to be taken into account according to the Government was the fact that ministers required warm winter breaks and that when visiting troops in distant countries in December and January this was possible whereas it would not be so much fun to visit Italy, for example, in January.
The opposition party disagreed with the Government and stated that winter sunshine for ministers; although obviously important should not be the only factor to take into consideration. The opposition stated that they would be more in favour of wars against Spain or Portugal as there were wonderful golf courses in those countries. Cynics suspected that because many peoples of French and German origin, now lived in Britain and had the vote, that this was really behind the opposition policy to only fight against Spain and Portugal.
The third party commented that wars were silly, caused everybody harm and that there should be no wars at all. However, nobody took the suggestions of the third party seriously.
