I think that if, at such a time as you invite us to imagine, the UK had
maintained a total blockade of the Netherlands for more than 7 years,
and was preventing any goods or persons from passing in or out without
our authorization (and generally not granting such authorization), then
I think I might feel some form of sympathy with the Dutch rocketeers.
Especially if I was sheltered behind one of the most expensive and
effective missile-shield systems that money can buy, and they were not.
