The armed forces are one of the things that Britain does pretty well, so instead of dismantling one of our competencies we should be finding a way to make money from them - what the Americans call "monetizing your assets".
I like this idea.
Scene: a SEEKRIT bunker beneath Whitehall.
(Phone rings. It is picked up by General Sir Lord Raddled-Posho of the Household Cavalry.)
GSLR-P: Hellew?
Bloke Who Sounds A Bit FOREIGN: Hello? I like please to hire some England army?
GSLR-P: Yes, one can do that for Sir. Which units does Sir have in mind?
BWSABF: I like hire SAS, Royal Marine and second batting lion Parachutey. Also six big helichopter.
GSLR-P: Certainly, Sir. That would cost Sir roughly one Getty per calendar month, ammunition extra. Ten per cent discount should Sir wish to hire those units for more than six months.
BWSABF: Iz good. You deliver?
GSLR-P: Yes, one can deliver. Could one take Sir's name and address?
BWSABF: Iz Mister Bin Laden. Third cave on right, Waziristan.
GSLR-P: is that near Cardiff?
Hmm. Maybe this requires a little more thought ;)
