I'm not entirely sure how to interpret this. I'd like to think Adams is making a nice point about how the highest honour we can give our soldiers is not making them work in a warzone anymore, but it looks more likely that he's proposing we keep British soldiers in said warzone indefinitely for the sole purpose of keeping them employed. Unless there's some story about mass layoffs in the Army that I've missed.

That was my exact first thought. It's not like the L85A2 isn't a ubiquitous part of the British Armed Forces or anything... I think it's only the SAS which use the M16 styled variants or other manufacturers weapons as main rifles if I recall correctly.

Its time for a whip round to take Thomas to london, so he can see that London does not exist in a valley, inhabit an area of approx a mile, and realise some perspective. QE Tower on the house of Commons is not bigger than the Gherkin, and I'm not sure what Il Duomo is doing in London as opposed to Florence where it normally lives. If there is any money left over, we can by him some new brown crayons so he can draw people like he really wants to.

Waiting for the Barbarians would have been a better title imo.

quote:

Waiting for the Barbarians, by Constantine P. Cavafy.

What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?

The barbarians are to arrive today.

Why such inaction in the Senate?
Why do the Senators sit and pass no laws?

Because the barbarians are to arrive today.
What laws can the Senators pass any more?
When the barbarians come they will make the laws.

Why did our emperor wake up so early,
and sits at the greatest gate of the city,
on the throne, solemn, wearing the crown?

Because the barbarians are to arrive today.
And the emperor waits to receive
their chief. Indeed he has prepared
to give him a scroll. Therein he inscribed
many titles and names of honor.

Why have our two consuls and the praetors come out
today in their red, embroidered togas;
why do they wear amethyst-studded bracelets,
and rings with brilliant, glittering emeralds;
why are they carrying costly canes today,
wonderfully carved with silver and gold?

Because the barbarians are to arrive today,
and such things dazzle the barbarians.

Why don't the worthy orators come as always
to make their speeches, to have their say?

Because the barbarians are to arrive today;
and they get bored with eloquence and orations.

Why all of a sudden this unrest
and confusion. (How solemn the faces have become).
Why are the streets and squares clearing quickly,
and all return to their homes, so deep in thought?

Because night is here but the barbarians have not come.
And some people arrived from the borders,
and said that there are no longer any barbarians.

And now what shall become of us without any barbarians?
Those people were some kind of solution.

I guess burning a traitor in effigy is a classic part of British culture, but there's something weirdly creepy about the Express guy's cheery-faced cartoon characters and their "the opposition are traitors, execute them!" comic. Like it's so easy to imagine him drawing basically the same cutesy styled cartoon for a book-burning.

Don't forget he drew the grim, granite-faced crusader soldier from the Express's masthead, moments after decapitating Nick Clegg in front of a horrified crowd. Turning to stare at the reader while lifting Clegg's lifeless head into the air, sword impaling his neck, a brutal trophy for a murderous fanatic
