Britain claimed Rockall (a tiny shitty islet 200 miles from land) to stop Russia

Hi everyone. Since you were kind enough to upvote a couple of my pieces a good while back on the Zanclean Megaflood and Atlantropa, I thought I'd give this a whirl here, on the last & maybe the most ludicrous acquisition of the British Empire - a 20-metre high island in the Atlantic, surrounded by some of the roughest seas in the world, that's become the focus of a lot of paranoia and high farce over the last century. Cheers!
