tbf it might have been his father that had a hand in actually doing, the work , to maintain the empire down the barrel of a gun
But presumably hes put total trust in lafarge playing the churchill figure
naive just doesnt do it justice

In order of area, we still have...
British Antarctic Territory,
Falkland Islands,
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands,
Turks and Caicos Islands
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha,
Cayman Islands,
Akrotiri and Dhekelia (two military bases on Cyprus)
British Virgin Islands,
Montserrat,
Anguilla,
Bermuda,
British Indian Ocean Territory,
Pitcairn, Henderson, Bucie and Oeno Islands,
Gibraltar.
OK, so they're mostly pretty small islands with little significance and certainly not in a position to help us out post Brexit, but you can't say we don't have an empire!


As for Farage being a Churchill figure, well, Churchill brought the country together in desperate times, Farage is dividing the country creating this whole mess and it was Churchill who had the idea of a United States of Europe! Farage may have bravado, but Churchillian he is not! I'd say he's more akin to Oswald Mosley myself!

Not wanting to be picky but a slight correction Mr Brady. 
I think you are refering to the two Sovereign Base Areas of:
Western Sovereign Base Area consisting of Episkopi Garrison, RAF Akrotiri and Berengaria in Limassol.
Eastern Sovereign Base Area consisting of Dhekelia Garrison and Aya Napa.
Not to mention RAF Troodos and RAF Olympus tucked away on top of the Troodos mountains, and the Paphos live fire ranges.
Aswell as the UN base in Nicosia.

New deal agreed apparently, but it still needs to be agreed by DUP and parliament so still highly unlikely.
