The UK are reaping the rewards of their imperialist past and the usual oafs don’t understand what’s going on.
Slightly off topic, just reading about the Gordon Riots of 1780 in London. The government was considering allowing Catholics to inherit property so the working class rioted. Rioting lasted a week and it wouldn’t be until the Blitz that so much damage would be done to London again. Some of the rioters honestly thought the there were 20,000 Jesuit priest terrorists living in the sewers of London getting ready to blow the city up with gunpowder. The Brits aren’t the worst but are a very strange bunch.
It shows how easily manipulated they are by those in power - it has always been the case
It’s the same here. Full of dullards believing what they hear and doing what they’re told. Bless them.
The educated metropolitan London elite rejected the violence but the mob had its way and anti-Catholicism continued to dominate British politics for a generation.
Lord Gordon, who sparked the riots and whom they are named after, seems a slightly odd character and converted to Orthodox Judaism a few years afterwards. He died young.
Bizarre really. They are terrified of Germany, loads of them seem to think that WWII was fought exclusively between plucky blighty and the dastardly hun and that ze germans will be back and only they can see this or stop this.
I forget what I was watching - maybe it was the new Al Murray show but the tans were amazed when they learned that the Germans pay them no attention at all - they are not on the German radar … where as the tans are obsessed with the Germans.
so do you want a united Oireland or do you want Britain to continue to pay for the cesspit?
I don’t know where Oireland is. Do you mean Ireland?

I’d like to publicly commend Martina Anderson MEP for the STERLING works she’s been doing in Europe.
We have the brits where we want them. A united Ireland is within our grasp.

I actually think Sterling is over-valued right now. There’s a very good chance of no-deal Brexit and then they’ll have no trade deals with anyone and a lot of companies will be trying to leave them. It will come back eventually but it will take years.
“I can see his pride, peep through each part of him…”
WTO isn’t the end of the world over a short term. Look at the actual difference in the tarriffs. Sterling is undervalued significantly on a trade weighted basis. Politics is driving it’s price action, not asset flows and interest rates and until there is certainity it will remain suppressed and volatile. Worst possible time to unload your pounds.
those roaring for a united Oireland are generally those who contribute little or nothing to the running of the republic… the dole heads, the socialists, the anti this and anti that mob and of course the scummy soccer crowd.
