A Bourne Legacy
Residents across the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland shared grave concern for the recent announcement made by the Irish Government, a statement that could have drastic consequences for millions. It was a situation that should have been avoided but those within the Irish Government had already played their card... it was too late. Only a few hours ago, whilst a cloudy overcast grew over London, a declaration of war had been received which had ultimately put both Ireland and the United Kingdom in a state of conflict. Since this revelation, the British Cabinet have been putting together their own plans but a press statement was in order by the British Prime Minister himself. Stood patiently outside the House of Commons with a number of camera's aimed towards him. It was his first real rodeo when it came to a state of war, but he had a lot to live up to given the recent history of Britain whilst under Jamie Price. Now.. now it was Jericho's turn. Those surrounding him at his podium begun to quieten down, for a few moments, he maintained his silence before beginning to speak.
"This morning we received word from the Government of Ireland that they are opening a state of war with the United Kingdom.
We have supported certain military campaigns but Britain itself has not seen itself in a formal state of war since Prime Minister Price was in office; that was something I had hoped would remain.
It has become an unfortunate set of circumstances where we are now in the position we are in. A hostile, unjust decision to spark a war without considering the consequences that would follow, without considering the losses and without considering the needs of the many.
We have recently seen that the Irish Government has sought to expand with recent evidence that had, before today, indicates their intention to arm terrorists.. more specifically, the Irish Republican Army, simply to cause us 'trouble'.
This is something that the Brazilian Government, already recklessly desperate for war, supported and even proposed an oversea base in Ireland.
We are seeing a collective group of nations spreading their wings with the intention of causing as much destruction as possible with absolutely no thought for who will be affected.
My predecessor had set the foundation, and held onto that foundation, that Britain will not be bullied or threatened.
Mocked or insulted.
Most importantly, Britain would not stand aside.
Whilst we are happy to accept the imminent surrender of the Irish Government and whilst we would regret any physical conflict, Britain will fight."
There was a short pause from the Prime Minister who took a glass of water from the podium and sipped it, placing it down.
"That is what my predecessor would have said, inspiring as it was we need to be realistic in our expectations and I'm nothing but a realist.
Our opponent is the Irish Government, supported by Brazil without a doubt. But what does this mean?
Well ladies and gentlemen, this declaration of war was never going to be a fight. No no.
It was a predetermined victory for Britain and I look forward to seeing the Irish Government in person when they are ready to negotiate their surrender.." He stood down from the podium and the crowds called out, trying to ask questions or make comments on what had just happened.
