Tory Peer calls for Torpedo Boats to defend Britain's 12 mile limit

[WTFH]

The RN haven't had MTBs since the 1950s.

We could probably get the DSME (South Korea) to build some for us, paying for it by borrowing money off the Chinese.

The River Class might be suitable as a larger alternative, but we currently have 3 of them in service.

The Scimitar class or Archer class might be able to take a weapon or two.

Britannia doesn't "rule the waves" and hasn't for a long time.

After Brexit, the red button will be located in the Bullingdon Club's ceremonial whoopee cushion.

Wouldn't even get past the UK's health and safety panel. The panel with the big red button, when pressed it rolls out a ream of paperwork for the operator to fill in before they can proceed.

It is the Express...

What page is their Diana story on?

Hope it's not been bumped to page 3.

How much notice do the US need if the UK wants to fire a Trident missile?.

Quite. We should detonate a few nukes within the 12 mile limit. That should keep Johnny Foreigner out, what!

We don't want to fight but by Jingo if we do,
We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too,
We've fought the Bear before, and while we're Britons true,
The Russians shall not have Constantinople.

******* idiots.

Preferably with nuclear weapons.

Pretty sure it is common sense to protect your borders?

[BrilloPad]

It's embarassing, isn't it?
And astonishing.
People actually read the express and believe it. Can they upgrade to the fail?
This infantilism seems to span the classes, too, and explains Bremoaners

FTFY

Some of these people seem to be permanently stuck in an infantile state of when they were 9, reading "Commando" comics, waiting for nanny to tuck them into bed with some cocoa.
