The people at the pilot rumour network seem a bit sceptical about the spitfires buried in Burma story. I can see how it all came together, though, on the comms grid. First off, you have Cameron meeting Aung San Suu Kyi. Remember Gordon Brown banging on about her? Well he never got to meet her. Cue much sniggering around the room. Yet, I don't know. It's all a bit soft, isn't it? A bit leftie? We need something a bit bold and British and UKIP waverer friendly. That's it! Spitfires!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Osborne paying off the defecit with Japanese gold buried in the Philippines. No, honestly! It's there!
"the defecit"
is a load of crap.
I've just seen a photo on Facebook with Cameron supposedly thinking "Fuck.look at all this gold" and his host saying "Don't even think about it, you imperialist bastard", presumably from Burma.

Of course, it all makes sense now, that's why Hiroo Onoda had to be relieved of duty rather than surrender - he knew the war was over, he was just guarding the Emperor's gold.
OT: This one is for Richard J (via Charlie Stross's twitter feed - who you probably already follow but just in case.)
