When you brexit so hard you start believing you're still a maritime superpower
I mean to be fair, they do have nuclear-armed submarines.
I still don't know that they want to re-enact the Anglo-Dutch wars considering they were 1 for 3 though...
The AstraZeneca vaccine was, at the time, at the heart of a cross-Channel row over exports, and Johnson believed the EU was treating the UK “with malice”.
Ohh no brexit function as intended, how can EU treat us as another country other than a partner
Johnson said that he “had commissioned some work on whether it might be technically feasible to launch an aquatic raid on a warehouse in Leiden, in the Netherlands, and to take that which was legally ours and which the UK desperately needed”.
So people can just launch raid party at government warehouse if the government withhold their item for whatever reason? It's legally theirs right?
Idk, people said he intentionally make himself looks like a buffoon, i think it fit a buffoon.
I mean to be fair that logic is the most English sounding thing I've ever heard in my life. Basically the history of the British Empire.
Bring it on 😆
Right! Pull the Victory from dry dock... we're going a'raiding!
He's just trying to sell books now. Ignore him.
What a tool
What's with english speaking countries and plans to commit war crimes against Netherlands?
Or the yellow-orange apes imaging they're running them.
That would have gone to shit incredibly quickly. Would have been interpreted as a criminal gang attempting to steal a massive stock of vaccine.
The hardest of brexits
I think the real news is there is an [anticipated] audience for a book about Boris Johnson.
Farcical aquatic ceremony
Clownshoes Churchill at it again
You motherfuckers want another Raid on the Medway? Because that's how you get another Raid on the Medway.
