Britain) is facing some serious problems. And I don’t know if they are self-aware enough to know it. Things are really, not like they were 100 years ago. And Europe needs to come to grips with the new reality. And the new reality sucks for the.

Hey Britain, hows that Navy thing working out for you? Do you still think “Britannia rules the waves”? If there were another, let’s say, dispute over the Falkland Islands, could they do a dang thing? Margaret Thatcher sent a large naval Armada to the Falklands. But you now could not send more than two or three rather pathetic boats (and even that would leave the homeland completely defenseless). So much for “ruling the waves” eh?
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never, never, never will be slaves
