Why is this important? Because this was centuries before Islam.

Britain (the Celts, actually) have a history of strong leadership by women, Boudica, Queen Maeve in Ireland (possibly mythic but still a powerful symbol, see the Irish Punt note below), Elizabeth I, Victoria, Maggie Thatcher, etc. How appropriate it would be if it is a woman who eventually leads Britain to expel the Middle Eastern vermin infesting their shores.

As interesting as the life and accomplishments of Boudicca are, it appears that she was a poor military tactician, allowing her army to be surrounded. However, I fail to see the connection you draw from her to Islam. Can you explain?
