...and one forgets who it was, ‘a cooperative European army is barmy’. We can’t be ruled by Germany and France, we must go it alone and get our country back!
Apart from being a ridiculous statement it suggests we fight together only when danger is on the doorstep. Recent events suggest - that man, with a pint of beer on his head, had no vision.
Some might even say - along with the US President, at the time, and our own blond doughnut, they were playing to the Russkie’s tune!
It would seem, in hindsight, that closer cooperation is in everyone’s interest. These days we are looking for new members to form a club with - but at least there’s no danger of being ruled by the US, eh!
