Remember Marg Thatcher having her political bacon saved by military action in The Falklands in 1982? The Brits loved it and voted her back in, as they cheered from the quays of Southampton.
Gordon Brown must believe in fairies as he declares protection for the threatened people of the FI and hopes history will repeat itself. There is a Margaret Thatcher Day celebrated there annually now! Can we hope he will summon a British Armada to again prove that Britannia rules the waves? Well, at least ones that have oil under them. The major expense Britain invested, following the "victory" in '82, was a large airfield. Good timing, Gordon. Well done!
Iraq, Afghanistan and now South America. Can the new Empire be far away? Hip, hip........?

From my research, Britania never fell; it only went underground.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ron. Britannia may not have fallen but the present PM seems to be struggling to keep his job and those bits in pink on the map of the world have diminished. If, however, you mean the fat cats, British and others, are still in control, I'm with you.
