Tim is unhappy that our warriors fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan are to be brought home to their families via the back gates of RAF Brize Norton rather than the streets of Royal Wootton Bassett. He says that;

Quite. It's not time for me to rejoin the Conservative Party just yet, it seems. Please don't confuse my disgust at this decision with any sympathy for the war, however. Can anyone guess which politician so tellingly described our role as deputy to America's world policeman thus?

In our imagination the vanishing last vestiges... of Britain's once vast Indian Empire have transformed themselves into a peacekeeping role on which the sun never sets. Under God's good providence and in partnership with the United States, we keep the peace of the world and rush hither and thither ... putting out brush fires and coping with subversion. It is difficult to describe, without using terms derived from psychiatry, a notion having so few points of contact with reality.

I think you might be surprised at the answer.
