Wassat? Well we had it once in the shape of the most extensive merchant and naval marine in the world for over 200 years linking together all our possessions and colonies across the globe. Very lucrative. Note they do not teach this is schools any longer other than as a dastardly racist organ of oppression and exploitation of Brown People innit. All started falling apart at the end of WWII as the Americans started demanding vast chunks of it to repay their War Debt and to supplant GB’s status in the world.. The era of Britain on its uppers and resultant cutbacks started from then Big Time.
So it has continued to the point where there is nothing left to cut back and Team GB is forced to large it in the world with illusion and delusion. So we come to the Cyprus shite show and the ignominious fuck up re an inability to show the flag on a destroyer and chase away a few Iranian/chose a proxy drones (admittedly nasty things now). Hardly need reminding The Community that said destroyer, while it allegedly does exist, remains sat in a dock in Portsmouth awaiting the solution of “technical problems”. Latest word is it will not be ready in time to do duty in Cyprus – ever – and its role will be taken by our staunch allies The Frogs (who love us dearly). Is it too cynical to think that this suits Starmerdramer perfectly as it gets him out of a hole with his MPs as they oppose any British backing of Trump in the Iran fiasco? Government by deliberate incompetence.
Clearly British Ship Building is no longer the engine house of glittering technical expertise and sheer grunt that it once was (we do not know how to build fucking ships anymore) and so our brilliant experts at the MOD have come up with a specification that will save our bacon:
The Sampan D Class Destroyer
HMS Delusion, HMS Decline, HMS Distraught, HMS Depression, HMS Innit
Diesel all fuel outboard engines capable of burning recycled chip and burger oil and mounted on poles stuck out the back of the boat for ease of maintenance and variety of steerage options. Also obviating the need for a solution to the rather embarrassing problem of our latest ships leaking through the gland nuts where the prop shafts pass through into the open sea.
Shallow flat bottomed hulls to optimise use in irrelevant backwaters and money saving non harbour use (no need for harbours and dockyards innit) Hulls to be constructed from old metal cans pop riveted together under the guidance of Messrs Mo and Ali of M and A Vehicle Repairs Innit of Solihull Railway Arches, Solihull. Inclusive innit.
State of the art mind games in action to confuse the enemy who will not believe that Our Lads are actually fighting out of Sampans. All crews to be recruited from Brown People issued with catapults so Inclusive Innit and oh so deniable (eg “no comment” and “not us gov’nor”).
Armaments to be out of date and knackered with kinks introduced into gun barrels/torpedo tubes etcetera so Starmerdrama may legally claim under International Law that GB was not intentionally attempting to hit anyone. Warning Shots only innit.
