Scabs With Guns

In an intervention of unprecedented unpatriotism, the chief of the UK defence staff has warned that Britain's armed forces cannot be relied upon to protect the Conservative Party against the consequences of its assault on the public sector. While the use of military personnel as strike-breakers will not impede the training of assassins for the head-chopping House of Saud or other, still worthier projections of British moral power, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin stated that it would still be "slightly perilous" to regard Britain's bravest as being on a par with volunteer workers, unpaid carers and other useful idiots. When the best armed forces in the world cannot be relied upon to shoot the governing wing of the British Neoliberal Party towards V-NHS Day, surely the last of England cannot be far off.
