When people make statements like this I’d love to know the countries they have actually travelled too - my experience is the  the vast majority of the world’s population that have any knowledge of the British actually love and respect us - sadly the respect is starting to diminish but much more due to recent actions rather than any of the rights or wrongs of the British Empire.

I partially agree with some of this!

[everbrite]

1/4 of the global map....and they fkn hate hate us now...travel and see. Brits are classed as pirates that raped and pillaged...

Should join in the walk might help your state of mind! Ignore windups!

[Manwork04]

And now all those brown types are coming over here in boats across the channel. Don’t they know that exploitation is a one way street?
Never mind Evers and Manny, Brexit is the first important step in re-gaining our much loved and missed Empire. Better that we go over there to **** their land and steal their treasures rather than some dirty foreigners come over here and claim £25 a week from our benefit system!
God is certainly an Englishman. It’s only a matter of time until the whole world map is red again and Boris will indeed achieve his much publicised boyhood ambition to be King of the World. I can think of no one better qualifed for the job. Come on … just like Brexit - let’s get it done!
PS Evers, for someone that pretends they know stuff you really don’t do you?

May I address a few points there Jim, firstly under the Geneva convention political asylum should be gained in the first safe country e.g. Turkey, they are receiving billions from the EU to build camps and eventually re house these poor people.
You are indeed correct that God was British and therefore granted us sovereignty of the world indeed we still own a large percentage including Canada and Australia.
The days of Empire are sadly over but we still have the commonwealth and indeed a lot of our trade deals are with our former Empire of which we are culturally and morally aligned.
This is why our GDP output for next year is forecast to be higher than the EU. 😎

Good and Just point Manny. Clearly the Worlds trouble regions must regret the waning of British Power in Yemen, Persia, Israel, Syria, Mesopotamia, Nigeria (they owe Coolie Millions), Argentina etc etc. What do you reckon Manny, who do you blame for this decline?

Good morning Evers old chum, These people wanted the right to run their own country which is fair enough I suppose, unfortunately most of them haven’t the slightest clue how to do this and therefore are either incompetent and or corrupt.
South Africa, and Egypt are cases in point.
The blame is solely at the door of corrupt governments.
As for socialist values I give you Venezuela the model of a socialist state.
As Margaret used to say socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money. 😎

57 actually...so I am well versed in locals opinions..

Interesting view - a wise man once told me when I started regularly visiting India - “the more you find out about this country and it’s people the more you realise how little you know”

Yes,  I agree to a point but the bigger picture is the cyclical nature of advanced civilisation - the British Empire certainly had a massive presence and influence at the time but, for example turn the clock back and empires like the Romans and Egyptians had a considerable more developed society than the British at the time - so just using a chunk of history to support a superiority complex doesn’t really hold up.

Oh Manny. There you go again getting your news feed from GB News. This is from the Uk Gvt website - presumably signed off by your mate BoJo:
“ 19. (...). Whilst international law does not provide an unrestricted right to choose where to apply for asylum, there is no requirement under international law for asylum-seekers to seek protection in the first safe country they reach. This expectation would undermine the global humanitarian and cooperative principles on which refugee protection is founded, as emphasized by the 1951 Convention and recently reaffirmed by the General Assembly, including the UK, in the Global Compact on Refugees. It would impose an arbitrary and disproportionate burden on countries in the immediate region(s) of flight and threaten the capacity and willingness of those countries to properly process claims or provide acceptable reception conditions and durable solutions. This would (and does) threaten to make these first countries, in turn, unsafe and encourage onward movement.”

Yes we should be talking about the Swindon game but as a wise man once said …
“These days lies can be half way around the world before the truth gets its pants on”

Good news though that the Cobbs finish the year in the top 2! UTC.

Don't like the way China is treating Hong Kong!

Afternoon Peter, I see and agree your point, although you also have to overlay what society was like at the time and what was acceptable.
The British Empire was the biggest and generally a force for good.

You want the football forum for that sort of news…..hang on, I’ll try and locate the website address…..

And so might you - it hasn't even reached the final stages yet so is nowhere being law yet

Very subjective opinion but mostly a lot of  tosh. Like the way you ignore the Hellenic age.

Err, all opinions are subjective. That is why they are opinions.

Having spent some great nights in Wanchi after spending the evening at Happy Valley..I agree with you entirely..

Try getting some more air miles and getting out and about...

I’ve had many a good night in Dublin, no problems now if you’d have said Londonderry in the bogside……

Idiot is back!

You can manage in as much as taking necessary precautions, whether being careful when and where players and staff are, being fully vaccinated goes a long way!
Of course, you know better - though as shown on this forum many times, you don't - but fancy yourself as some itk guru!
I'll take Wimbledon's 'take' on things over Guru Idiot thanks.

love it how you spectacularly make a fool of yourself in public time after time ….
