In fairness, that has probably been said of us many a time over the centuries.

I'm sure your time will come. ;)

Words of a mad man. Who sadly David Cameron, in all probability should Romney get elected, follow bluderously in with.

Should probably put an argument forward for Britain had the USA not decisively joined the war; decisive as in the western European/north African theatre. Britain could not have been invaded successfully by Germany; the majority of the German fleet was destroyed during the Norwegian campaign...

Seconded. Incredible feat. Moral of the story= try not to irritate the Russians.

Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Metropolitan Polic boat units also trained/training to prevent a Mumbai-style attack. All these security measures have been getting a unjust rep here. I'd rather that all these measures were all in place and never used, than could have been used but weren't deployed...

Most likely indeed, because the trade unionists who vote in the Labour Party leaders will vote in the someone who sucks up to them the most. As they carry 3 votes at party elections (I think it's 3), they are likely to out-vote the more pragmatic-minded members. Though now he has said this, it...

Moral of the story: don't mess with Norway!

And you can bet your salary/wages that we'll somehow find a way to blunder into the mayhem... :p

God I wish the UK could get some Haminas (the class of the Tornio). Three of those for the minimal-price of one of the planned Type 26 class; not the same capability, obviously, but the change in doctrine it would require could be cost saving and rational (I've read a blog or two where a...

Alarmist article by an alarmist commander. Completely unhelpful, if not stupid, thing to say. Regardless, Argentina does not have the capacity for a conventional invasion nor the political will for another conflict. Military blockade by Argentinian forces, for example against fishing vessels...

Not successive British governments making ill-advised defence cuts? That is the running gag over here, of course; if you want to destroy the British military, just sit back and wait for the next budget and round of cuts.

What is the source?

The real thing to remember (not just you I should say) is that while it is a government owned broadcaster, the government itself actually has no say in programme content. The Home Office does not decide "what will the BBC say about this tonight". The BBC Trust and Director general are...

... Morrissey definitely doesn't speak for all British people (don't know what gave him that impression...). An old rock star viewing his own views and thinking he speaks for around 60 million of us isn't the best way to gauge prevailing national opinions... Roger Walters: is anyone proud of...

Personally I'd arrest him for murdering the English language! But seriously, maybe an arrest was extreme. He's clearly a bit of an idiot, but no terrorist. Just a gobby little git.

However... U.K. Reviewing Lockheed’s F-35B Model, U.S. Official Says By Tony Capaccio and Gopal Ratnam - Mar 9, 2012 4:17 PM GMT LinkedIn Google +1 Print QUEUE Q The U.K. is reconsidering its 2010 decision not to buy Lockheed (LMT) Martin Corp.’s F-35B jet...

Nothing to do with me, so maybe tell that to those internet users.

So... the Argentinians want the islands for its resources? How colonial. Please give a better or more structured answer than that, this is a discussion forum not an ambiguous retort forum. How old are you? What ever happened to polite, well reasoned discussion...
