If you ever wondered if the Empire was dead, you need to look no further than our friend, the badger (Meles meles).
As per Wikipedia, the British are a cunning bunch. Bad teeth and frosty dispositions aside, Brits are all wiles, and will continue in their path to claim further territories in the name of their be-hatted Queen. As per the following:
“British forces were said to have released man-eating badgers in the vicinity of Basra, Iraq following the 2003 coalition invasion. This allegation has been denied by the British, and local scientists agree that the animals, Ratels, also known as Honey Badgers, are native to the area.”
Oh right. And they just happen to be decked out in union jack themed bowlers? Unlikely.
CAPITAL!
