Green leader Bennett sorry for 'excruciating' interview

I'm not in favour of any of the ridiculous interventions in other nations we have had in the last few decades either but just occasionally we may need to act outside our borders. What about Somali pirates, possible ISIS piracy in the Med. or the Falklands?

Falklands. Easy. Relocate the islanders to an equivalent Scottish Island. Give them £1,000,000 each. Would have worked out (a lot) cheaper.

So any nation can invade British Islands and we will just move the people? Jersey? Shetland Islands? They have all been invaded over the years.

(Oh a lot of political commentators have said if the Argentinians had behaved themselves in the 80's they would have probably been given the Falklands by now. )

Which basically sums up what the left really think about other people. That they are to be controlled.

[pjclarke]

To the best of my knowledge no foreign country is making a territorial claim on Jersey or the Shetlands...

Then there's the geography ...



Nuts.

That's the problem with the Jingoist Right, they believe that a small island in the opposite hemisphere is worth hundreds of lives and billions of pounds.

Whereas the right think they are to be exploited.

[DodgyAgent]

Whereas the right think they are to be exploited.

At least we are honest about it whereas the left try convince they are doing everyone a favour whilst feathering their own nests.

[d000hg]

No you're not. You claim that it's to their benefit to be exploited.

It was Nationalist jingoism that defeated the Nazis in WW2. Perhaps if your lot had been running the country you would have appeased Hitler in the same way you intend to appease Putin President Putin has to walk away with something - things that we might not necessarily like
Maybe in Hitlers case your lot could have allowed him to open up some concentration camps in the UK to put Jews into "No crime to belong to Islamic State, al-Qaida or IRA, says Green party leader"

[DodgyAgent]

No you're not. You claim that it's to their benefit to be exploited.

So who are "we" exploiting then?
