Turtle Bay Farce


The UN has issued a statement of "grave concern" over Iran's kidnapping of 15 Royal Navy sailors and marines. The British government is disappointed because it wanted the UN to "deplore" the kidnapping.

The only thing to deplore here is the gaping hole where Britain's spine used to be. It would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.

  1. Congratulations Tony! How does it feel to have a world power symbolically immolated on your watch?

    You may now consider Cleopatra, Romulus Augustulus and Mikhail Gorbechev to be your geopolitical equals.

    Pansy.
