British International Express, October 2009; Imperceptible Change

Hal G.P. Colebatch

British International Express, October 2009

 

A special full page article,

written with eloquence and style,

historical learning and indignation,

analyses contemporary Britain’s

decadence and decline.

 

The facing full page article

promotes the paper’s new astrologer.

 

Imperceptible change

 

How long before the next time the British Army

Names a new class of armoured scout-car

A Saracen or a Saladin?
