Land of hope and glory

Ladies and gentlemen, be upstanding, let your chest and pudenda swell with national pride…

WE’RE NUMBER ONE!

Number one with a bullet, in fact. Finally, we’ve rediscovered the thing we’ve been historically best at: inflicting misery, death and pain. Britain, the world’s most successful merchant of death.

We can’t manufacture anything else worth a damn but if you want to kill somebody, we’re your go-to guy with very, very few questions asked.

I can’t shake the simultaneously amusing and horrifying image of Gordon Brown fluttering his eyelids coquettishly at Saudi torturers, bending over and looking back over his shoulder with a finger to his pouting lips as King Abdullah counts bank notes onto the nightstand. Picture David Miliband in a tight dress breathlessly mouthing ‘I want to be loved by you‘ to Ehud Olmert.

Anyway, to celebrate this historic day I’m going to try to sell a carving knife to the nutter up the street. What could be more symbolic of British success?

    “with very, very few questions asked. ”

    I wonder why that is?

    Could it be that too many of us prefer to be Gossiping about personalities rather than issues or letting the authoritarians set and determine the agenda?

    Nah! must just be me being paranoid?

    “According to the latest annual report on weapons-related exports, the government in 2006 approved arms exports to 19 of the 20 countries it identified as “countries of concern” for abusing human rights.”

    What? They missed one?

    The government even manage to flunk total moral bankruptcy.

    Someone’s gonna be fired for this…
