Airstrip One

It's not on the battlefield...

The government is getting nervy about the consequances of our "shoulder to shoulder" following of America. The Home Office is warning of riots in Britain if Iraq is invaded and the government is sockpiling the smallpox vaccine. Civil Servants are a notoriously pessimistic breed, but it does point to the fact that Britain's unintelligent 100% support for America is drastically increasing the risk to the civilian population of truly horrendous terrorism.

And what do we get in return? Not even a concession on steel tarrifs.
