When the Brits knew what to do ......

I admit I copied this from an original Reader's Digest article and that I am impressed. Britain had balls then and a shedload of chutzpah.



The shortest war in history lasted 38 minutes

When the sultan of British-protected Zanzibar died and a new one took over without British approval in 1896, the Brits were not happy. Tension escalated when Sultan Khalid bin Barghash refused to step down, but the British warships spent less than 40 minutes bombarding the palace before Khalid fled, marking the (very quick) end of the Anglo-Zanzibar War.

July 19 2024 - A Brit rightly exercising his duty of care to smart-arses on his bus, in an article reflecting the pathetic "concerns" of others, including on-board teachers. An Aussie would say, "Good on ya mate" .
