When Soviets may have taken Rockall, 265 mi. NW off Scotland, Royal Marines landed to secure it in !955. Sealand off Ipswich is for sale, and may become a quiet anchorage for Peter the Great and his strong patriot Vladimir "great ruler" Putin. Vlad may enjoy a breezy jaunt in a launch with lunch and a good port.

Sealand is for sale because it's not viable. The 'royal' family rarely live there as it's pretty pointless. Vlad has better things to do with his life.

Kruschev had better things to do than send nukes to Cuba, and UK made sure that taking Rockall was not one of them. Vlad has sent his flag to north pole, and Peter the Great to Venezuela, and nuke planes to North Sea. A Channel anchorage may be just what floats his boat.

Any truth to the rumour that Putin has a pet gazelle? I think it's called Vlad the Impala...

The stakes are high in the Channel. Moscow's St. George from Georgia can see the White Draculs of the City of London. Where do St Paul with his sword, and St George of Windsor stand?
