Falkland Islanders to hold referendum over sovereignty

I was looking for a good version of the Red flag but just got a bunch of tone deaf Trots

This one isn't quite as catchy as the SAM Song, but it provides a valuable history lesson that most of you in this thread badly need.

Nothing quite like being lectured on British/Irish history by a yank who gets his opinions from Mel Gibson movies.

George Lucas has been informing people how evil the British are since 1977.

I thought the British were doing that since the British nation was established in 1707.

[DinoDoc]

You stopped after 1945.

[notyoueither]

Yeah, they suck. I mean have you looked recently at lists of the most developed nations on Earth? Dominated by former colonies of those *******s. ****ing oppressive ****s!

[notyoueither]

and so we move on to gun control...

Is that a main battle tank in your trousers, or are you just happy to see a thread like this?

That's one thing much of the west is reluctant to recognize. Much of the world does not have a significant nationalist sense of identity.

That among other things.

You quite obviously missed the joke.

I do seem to know more about British/Irish history than most of the British posters on Poly (Laz being the obvious exception), however, which is unfortunate. Maybe ya'll wouldn't be such ugly deniers of the UK's historical crimes if you were actually aware of them.

Makes sense. George Lucas is in the Ra, after all.

I'm still amazed that this supposedly civilized country couldn't handle **** in it's own backyard... in my lifetime.

Erm, it took the U.S. how long to ensure African Americans the vote ?

How to get to school safely in Arkansas in the late 50s:



In Florida between 1974 and 1976 there were over a hundred 'terrorist' incidents or political statements involving bombs or shooting in Miami, all in connection with groups of exiled Cubans and their internal disagreements.

The assassination of former Chilean Foreign Minister Orlando Letelier by car bomb in Washington D.C. was linked to one of these exiles, Dr. Orlando Bosch, by the F.B.I. . What may be ironic is that in a real case of blowback, many of these exiles and grouplets were trained in making these 'political statements' by the C.I.A. . Seems like sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the extreme right hand is doing...

Might be time to send this thread off to the Falklands and see what they make of it all

[Tupac Shakur]

I'm just waiting for the Counterglow crew to surf over, kick us all out, and claim that this thread has always been theirs.

[MichaeltheGreat]

They need to figure out how to buy a pope to start their ridiculous chain of claims.

I didn't know counterglow was still going
