I'd put my money on a gay hussar to rout a rabble of beardy students.

I'd say 'nuke them', but I don't want to lose so much historical value... lets send prince harry at the head of a tank column.

Take one squadron of Hussars to clear that rabble.
One troop of lancers would do a better job, Hussars are bounders sir and cowardly custards.

You have put your money on many a gay hussar.

England has produced quite a decent crop of rioters, recently. Couldn't they be encouraged to loot the Iranian embassy in London?

Oh for the days of proper Iranian rioters, back in Jimmy Carter's time:

"Citizens!
Spontaneous demonstrations will begin outside the US embassy at precisely 8 am.
Please remember to bring a prayer mat and a packed lunch.
Stones and fire bombs will be dispensed at the embassy, but bring your own banners and effigies."

It wasn't spontaneous this time either.

The basiji led the charge, apparently, which indicts the Revolutionary Guard.

Told you guys cutting the Iranian central bank off was a big deal.

The Iranians are right for doing so. The US/Britain would have dropped bombs on false pretenses.

Somewhat premature, though, given that no bombs have yet been dropped...

The "Iranians" didn't do so. The Revolutionary Guard did.
