Britain has invented a new missile. It's called the civil servant - it doesn't work and it can't be fired.

Been like 100 years now and the British still have trouble with re: ten myle iceberg. Also re: putting tires on submarine: such would be good considering British Empire is now mainly confined to Britain.
