Carlisle Ali Quotes

Lost in the oubliette of conscious

In desire of meeting my beloved in chaos
I drag my world where I belong ... ~ Annie Ali

The predicament of British government was how to cut their losses and run without many British casualties before the inevitable chaos spread to the whole country.
