Scottish "Independence" manifesto

[Ben Kenobi]

For ****'s sake it's not a matter of being too stupid, it's about not having any money to do it. Maybe try not jumping to "OMG RACISM?"

No, no, he's right. Look at Zimbawbwe. Obviously the solution is to confiscate all the capital from white people and give it to black people. Then we'll have prosperity.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Most of Africa wouldn't have any railroads or infrastructure whatsoever if it weren't for the British Empire

At no point did Britain ever have any real influence over "most" of Africa, so that's a lofty claim.

[pchang]

They did. They just used the units with the guys in suits at a desk.

[Ban Kenobi]

Nonsense, how could China do anything in Africa without invading first?

[pchang]

It is now being provided by the loving guidance of the Chinese.

[Ban Kenobi]

They can't attract foreign investment without the loving guidance of the British either.

[Ban Kenobi]

I love how reg apparently thinks black people are too stupid to build any infrastructure without the kind guidance of the British

[Fake Boris]

You're terminally stupid.

[regexcellent]

Most of Africa wouldn't have any railroads or infrastructure whatsoever if it weren't for the British Empire and it's not like they did anything they weren't already doing to each other.

The countries attacked by Britain map is misleading at best, for instance Brazil was "attacked" when Britain was at war with Portugal and Finland was "attacked" when Britain nominally declared war against it because it was fighting the winter war against the Soviet Union.

[Dr Strangelove]

A vexing question :

What would the union jack look like if the Scottish bit was removed?

My favourite is the third one.

The first one looks like the Federal Republic of Germany has taken over the UK.

[C0ckney]

those bastards in andorra will get their turn

[kentonio]

Then we were told the British empire was very bad and maps like this started to appear. Apparently 90% of countries have been attacked by Britain at one time or another.



So it was all very confusing frankly.

It burns me to think we missed a few.
