Every one of our pilots in the Battle of Britain was a racist.
They had to hate Germans to kill them.
Good thing too.

Only an idiot thinks that or some low life that will try anything to
justify his pathetic beliefs. I think you are probably both.

Its an interesting point. If someone kills all your family, is it
reasonable to hate them, and if someone threatens to kills your family,
is it prejudicial and bigoted to prevent them?


In a war it's another country or countries you're fighting against. Very
rarely an individual. If your family was killed by a bomb, do you hate
the
'someone' who pulled the trigger, the pilot of the plane, the commander
who sent them out - or even the maker of the bomb?

Racism is not 'hating another race' it is 'hating another race with no
good reason'


And you consider the Germans a race apart? So I take it you hate our
Royal
family too?

Of course the Lefty****s are the big haters for no reason. Try telling
them you have decided to vote UKIP, or that you on balance think Brexit
is a good idea, or that climate changes is not what its cracked up to
be.


Easy answer to that. Just look at those in UKIP. An evil bunch, if ever
there was one. Many don't want their country run by evil men. But no
surprise you are a supporter.


I have looked. They seem quite a decent bunch, I have a couple of friends
in UKIP and they're the hardworking sort.

Are you MM in disguise?


Unlikely. The style is very different.

Why are you so fearful of the UK leaving the EU?


He isnt fearful, just believes that that would give a worse result.

He basically believes that living standards would drop for everyone.

He is just plain wrong about that.

But you are just plain wrong about the advantages of leaving
too except for who gets to decide policy if Britain did leave.

No, that's a phobia.
Xenophobia.


No, that's *fearing* outsiders. And there's a bloody good reason for
doing so in many cases.


Another race IS an outsider.

I agree. So is compromise and mutual approach. Another survival trait.


Having said that ... I heard that Yvette Cooper on the radio the other

a **moral duty**" she said passionately and forcefully, and in the tone
of an old-fashioned schoolteacher (cheeky sod).
At which I cried back at the radio: what about the moral duty of those
who run the countries they come from? They are not a separate species:
they, too, have hard-wired human responsibilities, which they gladly
ignore and suppress as long as Western Europe has its Yvettes.

You will see from all of the above that I have strong feelings about
these matters. But I don't know where I stand, because it's too
complicated for my tiny mind. Perhaps I should have been a modern
politician.

I don't buy these hindsight-driven, forensic, selective,
self-flagellating versions of history. The world now is *NOT* the world
of 100, or 50 **or even** 30 years ago. We live and act according to
the world we live in.

By the way Jim: you and your ilk (lovely phrase!) love to talk about the
great criminal Britain, and its Empire, and conveniently forget about
France, Germany, the Ottomans, Russia, Portugal, Spain, *Belgium* ffs!
Honestly, the way you lot go on, the world would be the Garden of Eden
again by now, if Britain had only resisted empire-making, heeded the
Luddites in the 19th century, and stuck to tilling medieval fields with
ploughs pulled by oxen.

Sorry - got a bit carried away there.... can't get out at the moment to
do something *useful*.

Doesnt matter what you buy, that is what happened.

The world now is *NOT* the world of
100, or 50 **or even** 30 years ago.


That is what produced the mess we see there today.

We live and act according to the world we live in.


And that world is that way because of what happened there.

By the way Jim: you and your ilk (lovely phrase!)

Never said anything about criminal.

and its Empire, and conveniently forget about France, Germany,
the Ottomans, Russia, Portugal, Spain, *Belgium* ffs!


France was certainly equally responsible for Syria as
it is today, but they have accepted a hell of a lot more
refugees from their old empire than Britain has.

Even you should have noticed that Germany has in fact
accepted more than a million refugees from there just in
the last year and wasnt actually involved in Syria.

Honestly, the way you lot go on, the world would be the Garden
of Eden again by now, if Britain had only resisted empire-making,
heeded the Luddites in the 19th century, and stuck to tilling
medieval fields with ploughs pulled by oxen.


Having fun thrashing that straw man ?

Harry might now suggest that you have to hate their goalkeeper in order
to score a goal.

There are numerous cases of members of the same family, even ones who
actually were very close, ending up on opposite sides. Whilst some
families hate each other, many do not.

Must have missed the bit where Mark said the ejection was done by an
automatic, rocket-powered device. Maybe have a look he

http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/index.htm

charles, I think they left that to the RN lads, preferring to bail out.
:-) And many received golden caterpillars with ruby eyes for bailing out
in real emergencies (not training).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_seat

The first ejection seats were developed independently during World War II by Heinkel and SAAB. Early models were powered by compressed air and the first aircraft to be fitted with such a system was the Heinkel He 280 prototype jet-engined fighter in 1940.
