I have corrected it for you.

Yes - a nice little earner. And American companies like Ford and IBM were doing 'nice little earners' with the Nazis in Germany. Infact, IBM made a very nice 'little earner' from supplying the Nazis with data processing technology to make the Holocaust go smoother and more efficiently: http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com/

No wonder the Americans didn't want to go to war until they were attacked - they were making a mint from both sides!!

We should really stop licking their bum. We should be european and proud and defend our values. I like most Americans I have met and have no problem with them . But they are not a democracy in any true sense and really. David Cameron seems to have little spine. It so horrible to see a man who is suppose to be a leader bow down like some slave

America is not a democracy - it's a republican plutocracy. Meaning that it is a nation ruled by an elite of wealthy and privileged individuals who are themselves influenced by large, powerful companies. Elections are there to got through the motions of democracy, but in reality there is little difference between the two main American political parties.

there's learning from it (which i agree), and there's blowing it out of all proportion.....

Good... maybe our football team will be as good as the Germans when we have as many Poles in it as they do.

The problem then arises - where do we get our Turkish section from..?

Cameron is a total !!!!!. He says he is now 'angry' at the slow progress of Turkey's entry into the EU. What an utter moron. Does he even give a toss that a large majority of people in Britain do not want a huge Muslim nation to join the EU? Cameron is a toff - and a tool.

I strongly disagree, it's much better for us to have Turkey lean towards the west rather than the east for stability in the region.

Plus Turkey is a secular country anyway.

I'm fairly sceptical about European "values". They seem to have been behaving themselves since WWII, I'm not sure thats long enough to establish a trend though.
