LOL.

Because the Brits were still in a bit of a snit over a war that had ended a couple of decades earlier, and needed to be reminded of that outcome again?

Or was it because the British land forces couldnt accomplish anything terribly strategic, so they did something petty?

Personally I find the ‘outrage’ over this story just incredibly silly.
