Yep all my fault... I have no Dutch or German heritage.

As mentioned it was history. I feel no guilt as I had no part. I do feel awe because it was outstanding bravery on both sides. The film is a classic and should be allowed to stand to remind us of what used to be so we don't repeat the bad parts. I'm sure there will be a film about the fall of the EU empire eventually!

Absolutely this.

If we don't learn from the mistakes of the past and simply blank them out, we're destined to repeat them.

Unfortunately, we don't.

"Balfour Declaration" - anybody?

Be quiet now, will you, there's a good gentleman. - you'll upset the lads

"Why us Sarge? Why us"

"Because we're here lad"

Classic lines

And what the daft snowflakes complaining about this probably don't realise is that hundreds of Zulu extras were in the film and the Zulus are best of friends with the UK these days!

that was just fixing a previous European invasion.

It is however an interesting situation, I wonder what would happen if those of African descent all decided to return to Africa and reclaim their ancestral lands?

Weren't most of the African tribes "nomadic"?

We're going to have to stop this, facts are getting in the way.

I imagine this would be a wet dream of yours.

Nomadic within an area, hence “tribal”. Similar to Native Americans and, to a lesser extent, Maori and Aborigine (for different reasons).

Ah so good we have you to know what my thought processes are. Though I suspect an alcoholic octopus would probably more accurate.


It was the only parallel I could think of that reflected the difficult situation Palestine & Israel are in.
