UK War Prep: A Penny for Your Life, More for Your Taxes
By Vixen Vile, Published 1 day ago
Ah, Britain's finest hour yet again-preparing for war, but only if the treasury can dig up a few spare pounds from the sofa cushions. The government, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that 'war-fighting readiness' is the new national pastime, right after tea time and complaining about the weather.
Yet, as they call for this newfound readiness, the funding question looms like a dark cloud over a royal picnic. Will they resort to a bake sale, perhaps auctioning off the Queen's corgis to the highest bidder, or maybe pawn the Crown Jewels? The nation watches, popcorn in hand, as the military brass and the bean counters play a high-stakes game of Monopoly with our national defense.
So, here's to hoping that when the war drums beat, our tanks roll out with more than just a "low battery" warning. The irony is not lost on us that the UK, once a global superpower, might now have to resort to crowd-sourcing its military might. Remember, folks, in this game of war, you get what you pay for. And from the looks of it, we're all in for a penny, but not a pound.
