Leftover Turkey

Although the opportunity of free trade with Turkey was among the many pretexts for Europhobic squeals of horror by the Leave campaign, it appears that the Ottoman taint in the Johnson DNA is not easily to be resisted. A new and glorious era of wog-bombing is anticipated thanks to the availability of cheap Turkish drones, which could potentially raise the losers of Gallipoli and Kut al-Amara to military status on a level with Azerbaijan. During the recent war with Armenia, the drones caused sufficient destruction of military hardware and collateral wog-meat to bring the Minister for Hard Power to a degree of patriotic tumescence rarely seen since the Iraq adventure. Given the likely social consequences of present economic policy, doubtless Her Majesty's Government will also be mindful of the drones' potential for domestic pacification, always assuming the accustomed seamless relationship between Whitehall and modern technology.
