What would the Victorians have thought?
We've changed from "We don't want to fight but by jingo if we do, we've got the ships we've got the men and we've got the money too-"
To "We don't want to fight because we ain't got the ships, haven't many men and we're bloody skint - plus we would be shafted by legal weasels anyway".
Fair makes yer proud, dunnit?
