    Sky News reports that French soldiers of the 11th Parachute Brigade have landed in Britain.

    They will be joining in live fire exercise in Otterburn, Northumberland, together with soldiers from Britain's 5th Scots.
    The Ministry of Defence said: "Exercise Boars Head is part of the continuing relationship between French and British Army units following the signing of the Defence and Security Co-operation Treaty. It is a natural, and logical, step in our relationship."

    The Treaty is to last for 50 years, and will see Britain and France sharing military facilities and cooperating in everything military, making our two great Countries an impregnable bastion, while at the same time reducing the individual defence budget of each country.

    As has been previously noted on the Forum with great enthusiasm, French aircraft carriers will be used to house British planes, thus making the planned Elizabeth class carriers obsolete, to the relief of the Treasury.

    One example of how shared naval facilities could work is from the following extract of the Athenian Ambassador present at the Castle during the Great War:

    "The Romans had besieged Dover from the Sea, planning to take Britannia's Castle. The Harbour was full of Roman vessels, as no British Fleet had come out of any of the Kentish ports to challenge them.
    The Roman generals were gazing towards Western Heights and then towards Eastern Heights, wondering why no British Army had come out to challenge them either.

    All the Roman fighting ships had entered unopposed the Harbour, followed by the massive transport ships carrying the massed legions and the assault equipment to scale the Walls.

    At 12 o'clock the Fair Lady raised Her hand, and a signal was sent from the Light Tower at the Castle. Across the Sea the signal was received, and the whole British Fleet suddenly set sail from the Port of Calais, and, flying with the waves, quickly dashed across the waters.

    The Romans, still gazing from their ships towards the Heights, never realised what was coming upon them until Britannia's Fleet entered the Harbour, and the entire Roman fleet wash washed ashore.
    The Romans quickly surrendered and recognised the Invincible Lady In High, and the White Horse Invicta"
