Kitchener reinvades the Desert

Whilst Gaddafi organises his allies, the world looks on and does...?

Britain eventually reacted and found a warship not yet in the knackers yard and got Sir Steve Redgrave to paddle it into Benghazi. Unfortunately they had the Navigation Officer from HMS Nottingham on the charts and she put it on the rocks on the Isle of Wight. The Navy, not put off by this setback, promoted the miscreant to Admiral, provided Ipods for the crew and waited for Flanagan and Allen to lead the Crazy Gang on board for a celebration party led by Civil Servants from the Ministry of Wasted Taxes.

Field Marshall Haig said he ordered in the powerful helicopter fleet to perform a farce in the Sahara Theatre. Surprising the local farmers with their audacity and brazen ingenuity, they settled to handing over their H&K's to the shotgun wielding horticulturist whilst the Crazy Gang joined their leaders in a chorus of "Run Rabbit". Liam Fox has mobilised The Duke of Atholl's regiment and will march them across the Alps in the Spring to reinforce British troops in the Med sometime in 2018.

Only three hours later the official spokesman for the council, Abdelhafiz Ghoga, would not endorse the offer.

The international community remained divided yesterday over whether to agree to a no-fly zone to prevent Gaddafi using his jets to attack protesters and rebels.
