Sounds like he has been playing Rome : Total War - Barbarian Invasion (a rather nice strategy game) a tad too much...
And he will have gathered from playing the Imperial Campaign that the best way to defeat the migrating hordes is to build big walls and shoot the buggers down with archers.
First thing to do would be to build an Epic Stone Wall at the Eurotunnel... Boiling Oil and Flaming Pigs would be the perfect defence against radical islam....
Off to conquer Egypt.. better than watching big brother or 20 classic adverts of all time or whatever....

End of Civilisation
Beware: the new goths are coming
Peter Almond
ONE of Britain’s most senior military strategists has warned that western civilisation faces a threat on a par with the barbarian invasions that destroyed the Roman empire.
In an apocalyptic vision of security dangers, Rear Admiral Chris Parry said future migrations would be comparable to the Goths and Vandals while north African "barbary" pirates could be attacking yachts and beaches in the Mediterranean within 10 years.
Europe, including Britain, could be undermined by large immigrant groups with little allegiance to their host countries — a "reverse colonisation" as Parry described it. These groups would stay connected to their homelands by the internet and cheap flights. The idea of assimilation was becoming redundant, he said.
The warnings by Parry of what could threaten Britain over the next 30 years were delivered to senior officers and industry experts at a conference last week. Parry, head of the development, concepts and doctrine centre at the Ministry of Defence, is charged with identifying the greatest challenges that will frame national security policy in the future.
If a security breakdown occurred, he said, it was likely to be brought on by environmental destruction and a population boom, coupled with technology and radical Islam. The result for Britain and Europe, Parry warned, could be "like the 5th century Roman empire facing the Goths and the Vandals".Tags: None
