I can't believe she's taking him back, after all he's done to her. The lies, the deception, the blatant lack of respect. Well Britannia my dear, you're a mug. A doormat. What are you going to let this man do to you next time?
Tony says he's learned his lesson, and this time he's going to listen more. We've all seen this sort of thing before, and we know he's not going to change.
You're a fool to yourself Britannia. A succession of bad relationships have seen your long held heirlooms gradually sold off, and now Tony has been fiddling with the priceless scales of justice you were left by your great Aunt. Even Michael wouldn't dare to touch these.
Poor Britannia. What were her alternatives? There's Charles - he seems nice, but if he got his feet under the table, he'd soon take all her money and spend it on booze. As for Michael, he's been close to her before and seems to have left deep emotional scars in her public psyche.
She's a country mistreated and abused, so it's no wonder she's drinking more and more, becoming increasingly apathetic and showing an alarming tendency to resort to unexpected fits of rage and violence. She spends most of her time trying to lose herself in mindless escapism, anything rather than face up to the truth about Tony. Last night she was feeling tired, and felt her options were limited. It seems she made her choice more out of desperation than based on any rational thinking. Okay she flirted a bit with Michael and Charles, but it was really only to try to make Tony jealous. She's still angry about the whole Iraq affair.
Tony doesn't really care though. As far as he's concerned, she's forgiven him. In a moment of weakness, she has given Tony all the power he needs, he knows he can now behave just how he pleases and Britannia will take him back. If only she could have turned the tables, let them all know: Tony, Michael, even Charles, that she doesn't need them. She doesn't need any of them. They need her. They can't go to anyone else. As much as Tony would like to think, a woman like America would never have him, despite her own poor taste in men. Britannia's been too easy. A bit of hard to get could work wonders, and we'd all soon see what a remarkable improvement in behaviour this would bring.
