“My wife and I were discussing the lunatic Chagos deal. We agreed TTK will probably give Gibraltar to Spain, the Channel Islands to France, Shetland to Norway, and Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man to the Republic of Ireland.
This leaves him with a few probs. He’ll probably also give Rockall and St Kilda to the Paddies, but what should he do with Orkney, Anglesey, and the Isle of Wight?
My preferred policy is that none of those happen. We obliterate the Republic for being the IRA’s chief backer and hand it over to the UN for the use of “refugees”. We seize Norway as reparations for the depravations of the Vikings, and hiss defiance at France and Spain. Meantime Norway’s hydro power will be charged double to Denmark and Germany as reparations for the Danelaw and World Wars I & II.
I don’t see any flaws there. Reparations are all the rage on the Left, aren’t they?
Some of the vast profits from Norwegian oil and gas will be handed to Portugal and the Netherlands for being jolly decent types. Thus would Western Europe be rearranged on a more rational basis.”
