That's right. There was irrefutable evidence that the British tribes had Weapons of Mass Destruction (like chariots with knives on the wheels) so of course Caesar had to invade. He couldn't go on taking over everywhere and absorbing it into the Empire with those uncivilised and dangerous characters on the margin (and with all sorts of valuable resources) who didn't appreciate the Roman Way Of Life.
I'm trying to imagine AR as Our Correspondent in Imperial Rome, but somehow I think he'd end up doing an in-depth interview with the lions in the Colosseum.
