Next Falklands war

[SpontaneousOrder]

As far as the left are concerned they will go to any length to undermine and destroy British/English heritage and culture. Such is the extent of their self loathing envy.

It's a kind of cultural marxism that they want to bring about in their drive towards 'equality'. Individuality frightens them.

[SpontaneousOrder]

Brilliant. Full of the left wing guilt with which they use as an excuse to destroy Britain. it is OK for Frankie Boyle who is mega rich and does not have to live with the consequences of open doors immigration and who thinks that his patronising of other races will enable him to keep his head if ever ISIS get hold of him.

Britain

The logic of a receptacle for hot beverages provided by slavery and colonisation being anti-immigrant bears no more examination than a pair of homophobic Speedos.

-- idiot

Tea and coffee is a product of slavery and colonisation? That should be enough to render the rest unworthy of reading.

[alluvial]

It's allright he'll probably start on give Argentina back to the Welsh next, free the disputed Patagonian territories !!!!

Nah, he'll be siding with the Welsh Nationalists and demanding that England be taken from the nasty Anglo Saxons and given back to the Celts (and I did actually work with one that believed that once).

[pjclarke]

As a major donor to the labour party he has more influence and power to damage capitalism than most. And one thing is for certain that the more left wing the government the poorer they will leave the country when they are eventually booted out.

Fail. Bottriell co-founded S3/Computer Futures in 1986, hence half the period in which he made his millions were under a Labour administration, which doesn't seem to have impaired his ability to prosper one jot.

Which was not my point. What I will say is that this guy exploited the most extreme forms of capitalism and prospered by virtue of the free markets that had been established by Thatcher. He sent his children to private school and no doubt paid for private health.
He is openly supporting a system that is anti capitalist, anti private schools and anti just about anything that supports individual freedom and responsibility. The consequence of which there is little social mobility (the poor are kept in their council estates and given whatever health and education the state hands out to them). They would be eventually denied the single access to upward mobility.
Not only that he supports a a party that has a history of ruining the economy.
In other words he wants to remove the opportunities that he had away from aspiring "tooting lads" and instead "keep them in their place".

Ruthless capitalists like him will always prosper in any environment. When they try to disguise themselves as caring socialists there is only one word to describe them - hypocrites.

Shorter Dodgy: Successful businessman who seized opportunity and prospered under Labour is a hypocrite because he supports Labour, who are anti-opportunity and anti-prosperity.

Or, maybe, just maybe, he objects to this kinda thing:

But what about the Russians!

Russia and Argentina agree framework energy deals - BBC News

The agreements include Russian investment in a hydroelectric plant and a nuclear power plant in Argentina.

There was also a memorandum of co-operation on defence.

But DP,please stop pointing out pragmatic realities. This is all about standing up for a principle. The right of the islanders to self determination and defence of Tory values.

Indeed, these people are so amazingly British that they want to live 8,000 miles away from Britain. They so believe in the traditional Tory values of self-reliance and not depending on the State that they require 1 soldier for every two Islanders in perpetuity, and they are so bloody One Nation that they expect that each of the rest of us pay £1 annually each just for their privilege.

It all makes perfect sense.

As you have made a point of judging whether we fight for the freedom of fellow countryman according material cost then perhaps you might like to suggest an actual per capita amount.
