Why do members of the Tory Party feel such a need to express
national confidence and resolve in embarrassing ways? First we had Michael Fallon talking up our
modest contribution to the fight against the Islamic State as the "Battle
of Britain" and now Lord Howard is getting nostalgic over the Falklands
War. It seems that they do not feel
confident in our own nations' capabilities to be strong and silent.
It probably has
something to do with the fact that this government is expert at hollowing out
our armed forces while making them look nice and presentable, making us look
like a paper tiger. As for Lord Howard
he should pay attention to Abraham Lincoln's advice: "Better to remain silent and
be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt".
