Our Brave Lions Have Been Defeated

It is with great sadness that I heard on the wires that our brave Lions have been defeated on the high veldt by those pesky Boers.
The error of course was in the choice of Captain. No side proclaiming to represent this Sceptered Isle should be led into battle by anyone other than a proud upstanding Englishman. I acknowledge that our Celtic brethren make super infantrymen and they work wonders with a pick axe down the mine.
However, all on these isles look to the charm of an Englishmen to lead the line into battle and outwit our colonial opponents with a caddish wink and a languid air.
