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. |

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!) love to talk about the great criminal Britain, 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 ? Sorry - got a bit carried away there.... can't get out at the moment to do something *useful*. You could do the decent thing and top yourself. |
