[War] "UK, First crisis"

"UK, First crisis"
PM Dennis Brandt
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom


Waiting in the kitchen of their small bungalow was a good hearty
breakfast.  Sipping a strong cup of coffee he had the Times open and was
reading their article about the election.

"I love this, the last Green government headed by Mckenzie Foster was
the equivilent of the Black Knight from Monty Python, when he lost arms
and legs he just called it a "flesh wound" and tried to fight on, in the
end it took decisive action from HM Queen Elizabeth to force an
election...."

Angela had to chuckle as she sat down at the table, "Yea yea you always
had fun comparing him to the Black Knight, now you have number 10 and he
goes down as a footnote."

Setting down his fork he got a good laugh, "Hon, let's be polite, we
cannot be rude to our honorable colleagues."  Setting down the coffee he
gave her a quick kiss, "Off to get permission to form the government."

Once outside he ignored the media, just a friendly wave, untill he got 
permission he wasn't Prime Minister.  Though he did promise a press 
conference later on.

Sitting in the black Rolls Royce it drove down the streets, Police cars 
providing an escort as they drove along.  Sitting in the car with him 
was a bodyguard and a member of the Intelligance services who handed him 
his first briefing book.

"Korea."  Dennis shrugged and read it over, "Looks like they're causing 
trouble and this may go to war?"

"Yes sir."

"And Kim Jong Il is dead." He closed the briefing book, "Not too great a 
loss, though I will be officially extending condolances.  Have the 
Foreign office advise any subjects in either Korea to be prepared to 
evacuate."

"Yes sir."

The car drove through Buckingham Palace's gates and he straightened his 
tie, an unconcious gesture, he always did it before big things.

When they came to a stop he stepped out through the open car door and in 
to the palace....
