Challenge: A Soviet Sealion

Don't think this question has ever been asked, so here goes:

Your challenge is to create, any time in the 20th or 21st centuries, a scenario where the USSR launches an invasion of Great Britain. It can be during WW2, a hypothetical WW3 or any time otherwise.
Is this plausible, and if so, how can it be achieved?
 

hehehehe, thank you for that find :D

It has long seemed to me unfortunate - and I'm taking the global view here - that such an important experiment in social organization was left to the Russians when the British would have managed it so much better. All those things that are necessary to the successful implementation of a rigorous socialist system are, after all, second nature to the British. For a start, they like going without. They are great at pulling together, particularly in the face of adversity, for a perceived common good. They will queue patiently for indefinite periods and accept with rare fortitude the imposition of rationing, bland diets and sudden inconvenient shortages of staple goods, as anyone who has ever looked for bread at a supermarket on a Saturday afternoon will know. They are comfortable with faceless bureaucracies and, as Mrs Thatcher proved, tolerant of dictatorships. They will wait uncomplainingly for years for an operation or the delivery of a household appliance. They have a natural gift for making excellent jokes about authority without seriously challenging it, and they derive universal satisfaction from the sight of the rich and powerful brought low. Most of those above the age of twenty-five already dress like East Germans. The conditions, in a word, are right.

Nazi Germany and USSR in true alliance (Now, I don't know how this would have been achieved!) would have been able to pull it off in 1941). Of course Britain would have made peace long before invasion was necessary but if there was will to go all the way with invasion a joint Nazi-USSR effort would have succeeded.

The aftermath of that would've been interesting, had they succeeded. Hitler and Stalin dividing up Britain amongst them :eek:
