There are many civil servants in the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office who harbour a secret fondness for gunboat diplomacy. It’s a simple concept: if some overseas power displeases you, command a few well-armed warships to fussily anchor within range of Johnny Foreigner’s HQ, then send in a chap in a funny hat to make your wishes plain. It’s not clear that the hat is important, but you do need lots of guns where the other lot has none. Works a treat.

Seemed lik there were three articles in this one link.  I had patience for about one & a half.

Although, I think I had already heard all the facts before, his presentation was hilarious!
