Let’s play a redraft game

[Dextrous63]

So, I thought that as this is a bit of a long missive, we could take it in turns to copy and paste in turn, making it a more precise version appropriate for where we're up to...

Turning once again, and this time more generally, to the question of invasion, I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion, still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon, of which I was speaking just now, the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled the imaginations of many Continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous manœuvre. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye. We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised.
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government – every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.

I managed a couple of sentences and decided the author was a windbag so not worth going further than that.

If you wrote it, which I seriously doubt, sorry.

 If it really is a game despite being posted in general then have a bash at this...

How I envy them their understanding of each other...

[Alex]

Looks like it, was it Ye Old Winston Arms I wonder  ?

[klondike]

Oh I don't understand that. I did start reading it and that is an accurate representation of my reaction.

Checking now it seems it was Churchill with We shall fight them on the beaches. People only remember the voice and the good bits it seems.

Lorem ipsum is used by people mocking up layouts who CBA to actually write anything and there are online generators that will create as much verbage as you like.

I think Starmer's speech writers use one then feed it through Google translate to get vaguely English words,

[Scrumpy]

'We shall fight on the beaches'... 
   If only he was alive today.. He would see that the first few words of his famous speech to the nation has fallen on deaf ears...
There is no-one left brave enough to take on this (mammoth) task .. 
  And tackle the  little rubber boats that carry (unarmed) invaders that float in our waters..

Where is Mainwaring.. Pike .. Jonesy.. Godfrey and Wilson when you need them.. !!

[Alex]

I bet there are unemployed ex service men who would do a grand job bursting rubber dinghies for a few hundred quid a week.  They just need organising

Me and Val (down the road ) would do it for a couple of bob a week..
All expenses paid.. Nice hotel.. view of the sea and meals thrown in..
  I could organise a coach load of pensioners .. Give me two days..
and it would be sorted..  
We might not be crack shots.. but we would hit the boat.. eventually..

Unfortunately, the country is now ruled by TwoTier and his woke police force.
There is the real culprit of this mass illegal invasion.  I don't really blame the 'boat people' either, as they are simply taking advantage of our weak leaders and, of course, with the helpful assistance of the Frogs.

'Stopping the boats' could be very easy.  RN ships patrolling the Channel and turning back any dinghy or boat that is heading our way.  Up until the mid-point of the Channel, the Frogs seem to accompany them, presumably in case they are in trouble, until our Border Farce and RNLI pick them up.  They can rescue them; not us.
