Re: BREXIT! BREXIT! BREXIT!
I’m no fan of the military being involved in any aspect of civil life, but contingency plans have to be made - and if they were not and the shit hit the fan were heads would after all roll.
My son, for his sins is actually head of public relations for the DVLC (Driving and Vehicle Licensing) and has a remit for PR with this stuff. Although based in Swansea/Cardiff he spends half his time in London these days. The level of detail and the potential scenarios that plans are put into place for seem pretty mind boggling when one hears about them.
In my smaller way I represented Education of Social Care in my county contingency planning group. Similarly the potential disasters and disruptions that plans needed to be in place for at times seemed Way over the top. We never once had to implement them either - thank heavens in most cases. Sellafield is not far....

I know you can't build a wall around Britain but how about a moat for protection...

Good idea. They can reuse the French Channel.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

A thousand years ain’t a bad record though is it? How many armies have marched into Holland since 1066 I wonder?

We are not an island are we now. The comparison fades a bit does it not?
We actually had water defences which were used against the Spanish. The Waterlinie or Water Line.

Re: BREXIT! BREXIT! BREXIT!
Well a quick Wiki suggests at least six invasions of Holland (or the states that have comprised it one way and another) since the 1500s. There are probably a few more. You made the sneering comment about the English Channel matey boy not me.

We are just an estuary which the people of the country have doubled in size. Stop being so sensitive. If Hitler was given better info he would have been over. Nothing much to stop him.

You are fond of telling people to stop stuff aren’t you? Your throw away remark about the channel speaks volumes about you and Britain, one of the many things on your long list of things SD loves to hate.Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:04 pmWe are just an estuary which the people of the country have doubled in size.

Like I said, people have walked all over Holland in the last thousand years. England hasn’t been invaded since 1066. It’s the channel wot done it.

So big deal. I am not arguing about it. We love trade so invasion leads to more trade.Rum wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:14 pmYou are fond of telling people to stop stuff aren’t you?

So I hate Britain. Anything new? You are like a hedgehog.
BTW I hate Mexico as well. Throw in Queensland while you are it. OK. Two of the worst places I have been to in my whole life. I did have a great flight to Queensland and back. First class all the way.

I think it is a bit sad. I can’t think of anything I really hate. Cruelty maybe.
