Here's hoping that a Martian cylinder doesn't land on Horsell Common anytime soon.

Everyone is forgetting the obvious.
Britain needs no special weapons against alien invasions.
They have Dr. Who.
The planet is protected.

MoD fired Dr Who in the last round of budget cutting. The TARDIS is now actually a Public Call Box, though it is roomier than most.

The Horror! Surely even Alien Overlords can't be that bad?

^My thoughts entirely matey...makes you shudder at the very thought of it. You could almost feel sorry for the invaders.
