GREAT BRITAIN NOT EVEN ANYMORE A MEDIUM-SIZED WORLD POWER? FAKE AND OVERBLOWN?
Without further ado:
1. "British Army could introduce blow-up tanks to swell the size of armed forces in the eyes of the enemy"
2. "It's the enemy - blow 'em up! British army could deploy INFLATABLE tanks in bid to confuse enemies on the battlefield"
3. "PETER HITCHENS: Inflatable tanks? Perfect for our fake, overblown nation"
