With the help of a few other countries, notably the United States. ...

More notably, the Soviet Union. That's the country that made the biggest contribution to ending the Third Reich.

...And did you know that two Polish squadrons took part in the Battle of Britain? The pilots were noted for their ferocious bravery (or recklessness, as some would have it, but they were fighting for their country's freedom). Unfortunately, though, it was a long time before their country was 'free'.

Well yes, but technically speaking we declared war on Germany because they invaded Poland. We were fighting for their country's freedom as well.

Of course, we didn't declare war on the other country that invaded Poland, for reasons that later became obvious.

presumbaly these are the same business men/women and tressury select commitment that say that an Iscotland would be an economic disaster for the people of scotland.

How many years did many suffer under Russian rule though?

Indeed so, it is a shame that we aren't masters of the universe.

I have seen some spelling disasters I never thought possible from you, but "comforatbale"?

I really wish you would contain your problem with white people and middle eastern religions. It must give you awful cognitive dissonance, as you rattle your biscuit tin in honour of a privileged woman you apparently believe was ordained by (Middle Eastern) God to look down on you.

I have lived and / or worked in every one of the regions you mention. Apart from "Indian China" - that one has passed me by.

many colonialists worked in foreign countries

if I had to choose between good spelling (difficult for dyslexics and people 'educated' in bigoted socialist boroughs)
and your worship of IRA loving rich trotskyites, I'm comfortable with my choices

The Falklands is a good example!

I've always wondered though; is it still British because we're altruistically keeping them liberated from the Argentinians, or because it's of benefit to us? Didn't they recently find a lot of oil there.

Really?
Is that why they are all still determined to be a part of the UK?

A very significant part of the population is determined to not be part of the UK. Remember 45% of voting Scots wanted out.

And why is the Commonwealth is so strong nowadays?

Through working together and common markets, I assume.

There is sadly a lot of Scots who believe lies. Not a majority thankfully, but too many really.

Having been through the independence argument with a reasonable fine toothed comb the arguments for it are found wanting. People like John Swinney found and called out to be a liar by academic papers no less. It's all in the Scotland thread, sober reading for the independence support I imagine. Always is when your dreams are built on delusion.

Me to, I identify as European, no plans to stop and we will be good Europeans in every sense. I feel no embarrassment, quite the opposite, we're rejecting colloquial sentimentality in favour of pragmatic potency and looking forward to being even more open minded and global unlike the shivering cowardly Remainers clinging to the past, afraid of change and autonomy.

So glad project fear wasn't able to cow me

I saw a respected poll recently showing support for independence falling. The pessimistic fear mongering puddle of Remainers are less and less relevant

A lot of Brexiteers believe this sort ( 1930's-esque ) kind of thing too.



The SNP would never get the time of day in any UK newspaper to print this sort of semi-racist stuff against anyone. They'd be run out of Govt and they'd be a round of sackings if any MP or MSP even tweeted this.

Seems if you're a right wing Tory it's fine though. Not doing the Brexit cause any favours to be honest. In fact is a bit worrying Tebbit is being allowed free reign with this in todays' 'climate'.
