Facts:
There are good prospects that before long, England may be freed from the
millstone-like burden of Bonnie Scotchland and its infestation of parasitic
inebriated mendicants.
Hadrian's wall was originally constructed by the Romans, predecessors of the
Italians, with the assistance of
locally-recruited labour.
Italian unemployment levels are high.
So, on the basis that they probably still have the plans somewhere, contract with
the Italians to rebuild, maintain and man Hadrian's wall.
This will have numerous advantages.
- England will be protected to a certain extent from a further influx of
undesireables from North of the border.
- Large numbers of Italians will be given meaningful employment (for the first
time since 425AD)
- Any Italians that make it home, having endured a posting to the border, will
realise that they are well off, and never complain about anything again.
- When hiking across the line of the wall, there will always be somewhere to stop
for a pizza and some icecream.

I hate to say this, but I think the Welsh border is
probably more of a priority, by a whisker. |

Check out the category. This is about immigration, not pest control. |

It is a common misconception that Hadrian's wall
marks the boundary between England and Scotland.
This is not the case; Hadrian's wall lies entirely within
England, and south of the border with Scotland by less
than one kilometre in the west at Bowness-on-
Solway, and 110 kilometres (68 mi) in the east. |

There is, however, another wall further north, which is
shorter. |
|

Pfft. Their bizarrely unintelligible accent
notwithstanding, Scotland is one of the best things
about the UK. They've given the world doctors,
economists, and the best damn whisky in the world,
bar none. Frankly, you cocky Englishers should
consider yourselves lucky that the Scots don't decide
they've had enough of your crap, invade your country,
and cut off the head of your precious queen just for
sport. |
|
| |
Of course, the Italians will need access to large
amounts of rock to do the job. |
|
| |
Wales is made mostly of rock. |
|

// invade your country, and cut off the head of your precious queen
just for sport. // |
|
| |
Right. Well, they tried that one in 1745; didn't end well for them. |
|
| |
Interestingly, one of the Queen's grandchild is also called William...
prophetic, or what ? |
|
| |
//There is, however, another wall further north,
which is shorter.// |
|
| |
However, the Antonine/Severan wall is north of both
Glasgow and Edinburgh, which I suspect rather
defeats the point of protecting the Scots from
unruly Brits. |

Back to the Welsh problem for a moment. |
|
| |
It strikes me that we are doing the geography all
wrong here - we've got Wales on the left and
Scotland on the top, giving us two borders to
defend. |
|
| |
As a first step, I suggest that we lift Scotland up
and swing Wales up-and-right, pivoting it around
Machynlleth, into the gap. |
|
| |
The Scots will then have to get through Wales in
order to get to us, which should slow them down.
The Welsh, meanwhile, being subterranean by
nature, will probably not be aware of the new
geography and will just keep tunnelling eastwards
until they pop out into the North Sea. |

This I understand, the rest no. |

Irish whiskey is basically just Scotch without the peat
flavor, which is a bit like having sex without an
orgasm. |

Which makes the 16yo Lagavullin well, eh, what does it make the 16yo Lagavullin? Best not to think to much about this. I'll be on my way, then. |

What, all too familiar you mean? |
