Christ. It's a long while since i've read such an obviously bigoted and racist comment. Liberty? You clearly have no idea what the word means.

Your post is hypocritical -clearly you are either being deliberately posting in a trolling like manner for the reaction - or have no idea what you are talking about.

Absolutely you can secede from the EU. There were American colonists who thought America couldn't secede from the British Empire because of economic reasons like trade. But if you look at the statistics, if anything, trade ties grew stronger after the war. The sooner you get out of the EU, the better.

One reason people perceive you as weak is because many of you are hyper-sensitive to statements that allegedly could be racist or politically incorrect. There are few things in this world I dislike more than the rampant and suffocating political correctness environment where every comment people make that could be remotely perceived as racist is assumed to be racist until shown otherwise. Personally, I'd love it if the British government said get back on the banana boats not to be mean or racist but to show, in no uncertain terms, that they're not going to let asylum seekers walk all over them anymore.

Do a google search.

I'd like you to explain something. Take a Russia asylum seeker as an example - how does your terminology 'ge back on the banana boats' apply to them. Please...... explain that. Far as I'm aware, no banana boats ever came in from Russia????

so please, tell me how that is not a racist comment?

"Men of England, heirs of Glory,
Heroes of unwritten story,
Nurslings of one mighty Mother,
Hopes of her, and one another;
Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you-
Ye are many — they are few"

Percy Shelley

I don't think I need to tell you how that is not a racist comment because last time I checked bananas have nothing inherently to do with race. And if you think bananas have something to do with race, then perhaps you are the racist here. And for Russian asylum seekers you could come up with some other phrase to use but considering there are probably few Russian asylum seekers I'm not sure it would be worth it.

Hahaha

you got her there!

yeah I think she is

On what grounds would a Russian be granted asylum? That cant be very common

in reply to *let nations walk all over us*

ehm how you invaded like half the world at one point?

I think the word should be we, after all Ireland was part of the United Kingdom and men from all over Ireland willingly took the King's/Queen's shilling. In fact some still do. At various points in history but especially during the Victorian era over 60% of the British Army was composed of Irishmen.

Some very prominent Irishmen were appointed colonial government positions and also held responsible positions in companies like the East India Company

ehm ireland was part of the united kingdom because you invaded us in the 1st place :joker:

I didnt invade Ireland nn.

The Normans did if you want the truth. But then again why let the facts stand in the way of your truth.
