In a shock U turn the government has announced that the 60th anniversary of the D Day landings will be commemorated. Originally, the government was not planning anything special, but following public outcry plans have been hurriedly put together.
The government now plans to launch an invasion of mainland Europe in early June. Troops will storm the beaches at Normandy, where they are expected to meet some resistance from French forces. After a lengthy battle, British forces are expected to smash their way through France and continue on into Germany.
Gordon Broon said that these plans showed that his government was a government of action. "Let no one say that we do not care. There is no better way to remember the sacrifices made by our veterans than to do it all again. We are also planning to remember the First World War by shooting a few million people after making them roll around in a load of mud."
The government is clearly moving towards a policy of realism. With an economy similar to that of a country during war time, it is clear that further events will be planned. Coventry will be blown up. Children from the East End of London will be taken from their families and sent to remote country villages. This may prove popular with the children as escaping Newham Social Services will be no bad thing.
Broon also hopes to suspend elections as there is a war on.
