Whichever civil servant of member of the royal household pulled that gift off deserves a digestive with their morning tea.
* It's shiny.
* It has his name on it.
* It's military adjacent (it's off a damn sub)
10/10 on the appeasment gift index.

@kianryan@oldbytes.space missed that - what did we give him? (and, what did he give us? :-))

@kianryan@oldbytes.space I'm not really a fan of Charlie, but I have to take my hat off to him and his team for the soft power on display. It probably won't have enough effect, but at least they tried, and being able to send a suitable message to Congress helps too. I even feel sorry for him. Stuck in a gilded cage, forced to do this sort of work when close to 80..
