Austerity - but not for the Ruler of the Queen's Navee ! Can we look forward to the re-opening of the base in Singapore and to the recolonisation of India ?

Jolly good idea and let's hope we learned our lessons well so this time no pesky roman catholic missionaries sowing seeds of distrust in the natives.

Christianizing the Gulf would do a world of good for the region and the world but Gulfies are soo xenophobic and racially/tribally minded they would be the last people in the world to convert. There used to be ancient Christians in region but Islam happened.

I'd argue that clearing this region and the rest of the world of religion would be most appealing

How could the Christianisation of the region best be achieved ? A new Crusade ?

I would too being an Agnostic but Christianity despite being abused by kings, tyrants ,conquistadors and colonists in the Americas and elsewhere ALSO was used to fight against slavery and better treatment of the disenfranchised.

Now you could say what would stop the Khaleejis from abusing Christianity to pursue tribal , racial and patriarchal tyranny- well nothing BUT Christianity's founder espoused pacifism whereas Muhammed espoused a warlike ideology and conquest. Islam, from an ideological standpoint, is far far more suited for the pursuit of intolerance and domination than Christianity.

Homer Simpson believes in donuts.
Game of Thrones characters believe in the 7 (or 8?) Gods

Neither are worthwhile replacements of another belief system.

Scrapping them all would be great - in theory. I'm sure people would then just fight over other things instead, but I'd be willing to take that risk.

yeah you would have the Krispy Kreme versus the Dunkin Donut factions
