Post your score.

I only made a C with 15 out of 20.

So if you're reported, you become 'WARPed'?

As is typical of extreme left prog socialists, their labeling patriots as extreme right wing is based on their accusations of us lying. They are the liars.

I didn't score myself but I have accomplished many of those items, but I don't lie about anything.

17. Use blatantly untruthful or incorrect references to immigrants, Judaism or Islam

The test seems only interested if you use incorrect references to three certain groups. What if you use incorrect references to other groups not mentioned, are you then left wing?

Depends on the group. Left wingers use incorrect references to white christian straight males.Currently left wingers use incorrect references to Jews.

Using such labels to identify groups is not a reliable way to identify political leanings anyway.

I only scored a 9.5. So, am I a "right wing extremist" or not?

[Paladin]

LOL, now the British Army is excluding patriots and actively undermining a "National Identity" and covering up the origins of Political Correctness

Pointing out that Islam is not a race is "Extreme Right Wing" Hmmmm… I think that means even the dictionary is extreme right wing now

[Paladin]

An Army spokesperson told BuzzFeed News: “The values of our armed forces and the nation they serve are totally incompatible with extremist views. We have robust measures in place to ensure those exhibiting these views are not permitted to serve.”

Hmmm the "Army spokesperson" says his "nation" has "values"

Oxford dictionary defines nation as:

A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory.

But the British Armed forces claims if you are "angry at...threats to so called "National Identity"" you are "extreme right wing"...

Which is it? Is the UK a nation with a national identity and values? If not then why is the British Armed forces excluding those who have incompatible values???

I believe the Army spokesperson should resign immediately. His doublespeak is onerous.

I'm not sure what my score is on that ridiculous chart. Possibly 3-5, but as many as 3-5 of those also apply to the left especially the one about threatening violence all the while espousing that your side is non-violent.

Sooo Everybody that voted for BREXIT is XRW. All 17 million?

[The Annoyed Man]

Sooo Everybody that voted for BREXIT is XRW. All 17 million?

As in the US, the British left is desperately holding onto power by demonizing anyone who refuses to guzzle their coolaid and kowtow.

Why do I feel like we need a house cleaning and that the trash needs to be taken out!

I can see Civil Servants in the MoD and some senior officers going along with this scheme just to placate their political masters. Whether they really believe that most middle/junior rank officers and SNCOs will actually put this into operation I really don't know.

Back when I was commissioned probably only about 30% of officers had university degrees (I was not one of them) by the time I left the service in 1994 that had risen to 60%. I am sure that today it must be nearly 100% That allows for a much larger proportion of the officers to have their minds infected by left wing academics (NB. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst - Trains people to be officers, it does not provide BSc/BA qualifications those must be obtained separately).

I fear that it is quite likely that I would no longer recognise the internal culture of the British Army.
