In March, when British troops were about to take the dockland town of Umm Qasr in Iraq, Geoff Hoon the Secretary of State for Defence was heard to say: “It’s rather like Southampton.”
One squaddie’s comment was: “Either he’s never been to Southampton or he’s never been to Umm Qasr. It’s not a bit like Southampton. There’s no beer, no prostitutes, & people are shooting at us. It’s more like Portsmouth.”
