BBC Newsnight aboard USS Carl Vinson

An interesting video by BBC journalist Mark Urban aboard the USS Carl Vinson in the Persian Gulf. Thankfully it avoids the usual statistics such as how many loaves of bread are baked each day, or how far its two nuclear reactors would power a family car etc.

Note to Johnny Foreigner: your I.P. might prevent you watching. Serves you right for not being British. Hurrah !

I am not a foreigner to myself, just to the people & land I chose to live in, I'm an ex-pat Brit in France........& just because the BBC do not want to negotiate world wide broadcasting rights for some programmes I believe! Possibly because they have been made in collaboration with other broadcasters?
Might find TF1 will show it soon though!

No, because that would mean the English regard themselves as foreign. I think its the Scots who regard the English as foreign, though they recently voted to remain British too.

Indeed I am Joe, and at the rate its sucking replacement parts, by the end of the year it'll almost be a new car. So, watch out for my next Christmas photo quiz for your chance to win.
