''I recently saw a documentary on the most modern and most powerful ships in the world today, the Trident Submarines. (They said ''earlier this year'', so I assume it was early 2004.) I noticed the United Kingdom Navy's Vengeance uses feet for bottom, feet for depth, and yards for distance. I thought the United Kingdom was run by a socialist regime. Why hasn't that socialist regime been able to implement the napoleonic weights & measures project?''
Two reasons, Russell.
Reason #1
THE UNITED KINGDOM NAVY POSSESSES WEAPONS
Socialists may be murderers, but that doesn't make them all stupid. A United Kingdom Navy or United Kingdom Marines slug in the head is like any other slug in the head. It kills you.
Reason #2
THE UNITED KINGDOM NAVY DOESN'T WANT ITS' SHIPS SUNK BY CRACKPOT WEIGHTS & MEASURES
''Crackpot'' weights & measures means the weights & measures invented by ''crackpots''. The Napoleon Emperor's Republic of Europe Decadent Weights & Measures scam was largely invented by the following ''crackpots''.
Emperor & King & Commander-in-Chief Forces Napoleon Bonaparte
Prime Minister & Chief of State & Supreme Commander of Forces Benito Mussolini
Prime Secretary & Generalissimo of Red Forces & Marshal of Red Armies Joseph Stalin
President & Chancellor & War Minister & Supreme Commander of Forces & Commander-in-Chief Forces & Commander-in-Chief Armies Adolf Hitler
Yup, you've guessed it Russell, all the above are europists & socialists.
It's interesting to compare:
Prime Minister Antonio Blair &
Prime Minister Benito Mussolini
Chief of State Antonio Blair
(deputy) Head of State Queen Elizabeth II
Chief of State Benito Mussolini
(deputy) Head of State King Victor Emmanuel III
Supreme Commander of Forces Antonio Blair
(deputy) Commander-in-Chief Forces Queen Elizabeth II
Supreme Commander of Forces Benito Mussolini
(deputy) Commander-in-Chief Forces King Victor Emmanuel III
