British values are set for another healthy boost in the Middle East, as the armed forces engage in some fun and games alongside the head-chopping House of Saud. Like Her Majesty's Government, the head-chopping House of Saud has been subjected to various nit-picking criticisms by meddling foreigners who fail to take account of high aspirations and noble rhodomontade, in favour of an unhealthily obsessive focus on the self-inflicted cash-flow inconveniences of wogs and shirkers, or on rare and isolated incidences of journalistic strangulation. Accordingly, in the interests of fighting extremism Her Majesty's Government's favourite Islamic extremists will be holding a five-day round of water sports next week alongside the Royal Navy, followed by a further exercise between March and April which will involve whatever army units can be spared from protecting Britain's democracy in the event of an overly joyous freedomisation from the Euro-wog yoke. Extremists from Strasbourg to Brussels will certainly be quaking in their jackboots.
