Free British Irregulars Statement
The Irregulars
Introduction
The Free British Irregulars, fights for freedom, fairness and justice, we fight for the UK and her allies, we are a member of the International Democratic Army Defense Network. Although the proud fighting arm of the Workers' Rights Party we will accept any man or woman who uphold our ideals.
The Free British Irregulars are commanded by myself (Huey George) and I've selected 2nd Commanders Michael Early and Roachford and our Regiment Captains wingfield, Philip Solo and Mitzuno.
We follow orders from the Ministry of Defence via their direct communication with Commanders, 2nd Commanders & Captains or Newspaper or fight to satisfy our conscience if orders are not forthcoming.
We have no formal policy regarding Mercenary and Freedom Fighter achievements or for Battle Hero / Campaign Hero achievements for non-allied nations although I trust and respect all Irregulars to recognise the need and follow MoD (Daily) orders for the important battles for the UK and her allies.
The Free British Irregulars were founded on Day 1,781 and across the majority of our 1,295 days and counting of our existence supplies have been provided by private individuals and not at tax payers expense. Although twice have in the past as Commander I have accepted rebates which totalled about 20-25% of the cost to supply the unit over a couple of periods constituting a total operating time of 60 days in response to a 6% Work Tax rate which increases our operational overheads.
We hold a Super Sunday Strike that invites all the enlisted members of the Free British Irregulars and other citizens to join a strike at a set time on Sunday to hit the same target at the same time to do maximum damage. Rewards are given to those who attend.
We will also encourage member to take part in any National Strikes run by the Ministry of Defence to support damage direction.
We are the proud fighting arm of the Workers' Rights Party although... we've never let politics into the Irregulars out of mutual respect and consideration for our diverse membership for different political backgrounds.
Defence Act
A new Act passed by Congress has now created the eUK its own National Military – British Armed Forces.
The British Armed Forces will be commanded by a three-man ‘Command Staff’ made up of the Commander and two 2nd Commanders. The Command Staff will be selected jointly by the Congressional Defence and Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Minister of Defence. So in essence a political appointment.
I'm unsure if the British Armed Forces have formal polices regarding Mercenary and Freedom Fighter achievements or for Battle Hero / Campaign Hero achievements for non-allied nations however they have promised to increase the eUK's damage direction and efficiency in our own battles and for allies.
The unit is funded by a dedicated core of suppliers and the Government (through 250,000cc set aside by Congress in a country organisation each calendar month for funding the National MU). Currently the British Armed Forces have received no Government funding.
The British Armed Forces will take part in any National Strikes run by the Ministry of Defence.
The British Armed Forces is a strictly non-political unit, and treats all eUK citizens equally.
Thoughts and invitation
This is a bit of an open letter to all members of the Free British Irregulars. From my point of view aside being recognised by Congress and the Government as the eUK's National Military Unit, having potential access to vast amounts of public funds and a politically appointed Commander, The British Armed Forces doesn't feel like a ground-breaking step-change to the defence of the UK or her allies as I don't feel lack of supplies or damage direction has been the root cause of many of the eUK's recent defeats.
I'm firmly dedicated to remain Commander of the Free British Irregulars and it is my wish that all Irregulars remain with the unit. Personally I opposed large Defence budget and if Defence spend is require to ensure the security of the UK, I feel Combat Orders are more cost effect option to draw additional foreign fighters as oppose to Government funding of supplies for soldiers where private citizens have been happy to foot this bill for a long time.
However I'll end that if any member of the Free British Irregulars would like to move to the British Armed Forces, I will wish you well, thank you for your time as an Irregular and wish you all the best, while I can't share you optimism that the British Armed Forces is the cost effective solution to the UK defence I hope I'm proven wrong.
If you'd like to remain an Irregular I'd like to invite your thoughts if your thoughts about our unit becoming a Ministry of Defence Affiliated Units?
From the Defence Act
Any eUK MU except for the NMU will be able to apply for MoD affiliate status.
Affiliate MUs will be required to:
Set their Daily Orders in accordance with MoD Orders, and ensure that their fighters follow those orders.
In Return Affiliate MUs will get:
The ability to claim a 50% Work Tax rebate for their Suppliers, when the tax rate is higher than 3%
Entitlement to receive prizes in National Strikes
Also finally to any members of the British Armed Forces reading (you already have many members that I have immense respect and adoration for) while the Command structure and source of funding for supplies of the unit is not for me. I have no doubt you'll become a vital part of the defence of the UK so thanks in advance the for effort and hard work that will elevate you to this position.
Thanks for reading

o7 long live FBI
I find the government very rude in their articles and unappreciated of all the hard work The Navy, FBI,Legion and Dentist to name a few have helped the UK in the last years, this new national unit is just an expense to the UK which was never needed as these players choose to be in units and should have been getting supplies this is just a waste but I guess government got bored.
Nice article Huey your members will be better off with you.
Oh, that's definitely not true.
I appreciate the RN, FBI and DC, along with the other relevant units. I greatly respect Huey's stance on this issue, as Huey can construct an sound argument and actually furthers debate.
Though I am very surprised to see your support for DC. First TUP, now DC? Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Were did he say just DC? I read it as , "The Navy, FBI,Legion and Dentist to name a few"
I also read FaP acknowledge that "I appreciate the RN, FBI and DC, along with the other relevant units"
so much shanter
Indeed.

Nicely put Huey mate
Thank you Mick o7
We have the choice between private funded military units and a national unit, choice is not a bad thing, TUP Family will be staying open as well. Onwards and upwards.
Funding combat orders for FOREIGN PLAYERS means that those foreign players get all our funding, then we get confused and upset when foreign players beat us in ears causing us to fund more foreign players...
Madness and short term thinking.
I'd agree with you to a certain extent about Combat Orders, Topher however if our levels of taxation remain high with the sole reason to increase funding for Defence. I'd much rather see this spent on Combat Orders than supplying UK citizens when there is no shortage of private UK MUs offering supplies at no cost to the UK tax payer. I'd not be opposed to lower rates of taxation and a programme of encouraging UK citizens to become more self sufficient on producing supplies with their own firm base on companies and factories to work as manager in.
If you'd rather see UK taxes spent on foreign players, wouldn't spending taxes supplying foreign players in UK MU's be more cost effective?
I'd rather see foreign players support the UK because of MPPs than any spend of taxes on foreign players...however I suppose I hadn't considered supplying foreign players in UK's MUs in great depth...
Although I'm currently not aware of any supply issues (either receiving supplies or not hitting for the UK or her allies for lack of supplies) for foreign players serving in UK MUs,... it might be an issue. Although I certainly would supply allied foreign citizens fighting for the Irregulars and this would not be to the cost of the UK tax payer.
However as I've said I've not consider this in great depth...it could be cost effective however a little more difficult to police than combat orders where you effectively get exactly what you pay for. I'd certainly be interested in how the British Armed Forces move this idea forward if they do.

o7 Proud to be a member of FBI. I won't be going anywhere else. Anyone looking for a great MU should look no further than the Free British Irregulars.
Also I do not like wasting taxpayer's money.
How is it wasting taxes?
I'm very proud that you are a member of the Irregulars johnGB and tremendously pleased you won't be going anywhere, thank you for the support o7
I am staying with the Irregulars.
In support of that commitment I have put my money where my mouth is - 10000 GBP into unit funds for COs.
Fantastic wingfield, you've been an excellent Captain of the 1st Regiment and thank you very much for the extra funds into the unit. I'll match your donation to help us continue to grow our funds o7
All great decisions!
We have a national mu, the choice is there, but the irregulars always have and always will have a place in my heart. My first unit 🙂 its a fine unit for those who do not wish to come to the NMU
Thank you Aaron o7
Huey is and allways will think of the greater good of the Euk and the Irregulars so my view and choice as
a 2nd Commander is Stay an Irregular we are stronger together.
Thank you Micheal for the support. You are a great 2nd Commander, I can rely heavily on your judgement. It is great that you will remain as an Irregular, our unit is so much stronger with you. o7
Your point of view on Defence act are appriciated and FBI under your Command done in the past and still dealing great damage.It doesn"t matter which unit will be greater FBI,RN,DC or any other it matter the damage you throw on enemies side and ofcourse to defend UK from invaders.
Dear friiend Huey you are the most experienced and respectable UK community member and FBI are the most respectable unit so it will be huge plus if the FBI join MoD affiliated unit.
And as someone who never stuck aroun long and never particapated in our strikes I personally dont think you can addvise us in any way.
@Michael I am not advising,just I am giving my opinion and kind remarks on Huey"s leadership and commandship of FBI and WRP and I"ve think that is good. It is on Huey and on entire FBI will join or not to the MoD affiliated units.
It might sound as a lie but it"s not.yes in the past I"ve been moving and considering that as a fun but always hiting for UK.Just if your reffering that I swear UK in the past,that was just on authorities of UK and elitists.
Never said any bad word towards Huey and will not ever say anything bad for him.I"ve respect Huey.
Staying with the Irregulars o7
Thank you MacJ, it is fantastic to know that you will be staying with the Irregulars o7
I will be remaining with the Irregulars for sure. I am a great believer in freedom of choice and regiments like the Irregulars demonstrate and prove that individuals will always want free choice to associate in their own 'merry band' as opposed to any national construct, however effective these may be.
I find Huey's view, as ever, balanced, constructive and well reasoned and support his stance on promoting a positive and cooperative relationship between our FBI and all other institutions. It takes time, effort and good judgement to create and maintain an MU where there is such a tangible sense of identity and group cohesion. I am sure we should be recognised properly, yes as long as any affiliation does not stifle or limit us. We have much to teach, and always new things to learn, and I am proud of our good relations with other MUs and with ordered sensiible government. I hope that the majority of our members will remain with us and applaud all the good comments here.
