Britain has never be so humiliated

[cojak]

Ummmmm. I think most of the 'old' British Empire might disagree with that statementand and as a Welshman I'm still a bit miffed about Edward I thieving the homeland a few years (750ish) back.

Yes, I see your point - I should have added "these days"...

Never mind the fecking Normans, those damn Saxons were at it centuries earlier, and the Beaker Folk were majorly pissed off with the Celts, so much so that they built Stonehenge & went off planet with the Ancient Aliens.

Glad to see the back of the troll.

But to say we have never invaded and stolen a whole country. Well not recently, but In the past. India, Africa, North America, Australasia etc.

Yeah, we have a little bit of a record of invading other countries.

a survey of 200 of the world's countries through that, in one shape or form, Great Britain has invaded all but 22 of them. That amounts to about 90 percent of the world's countries.

Indeed we should have left it to the Belgians, Spanish,Italians, Greeks, Germans , Dutch, Russians, Chinese & French the world would have been so much better!

I wasn't passing judgement on whether it was good or bad, right or wrong ... just plain facts! So put your union jack covered willie waving bits away.

Have the Chinese invaded that many countries? I wouldn't be surprised if they've been invaded more than they have invaded others.

I was just commenting that the face of civilisation would have been massively different. Also that many other countries have similar records.

Actually China has been quite invasive, its just that they claim China only came into being in 1950. Try looking a bit further back.

heard of the Mongols who ruled China for a while?

A century or so after we were invaded by the Normans?

[WTFH]

I just hope all you Anglo-Saxons go back home and leave the British Isles to the British.

We're all stuffed if the Beaker Folk want their islands back.

I worked in Poland on a gig for a while, great place, great people; spent most nights with Polish contractors drinking HUGE amounts of vodka and having a good time. Had to laugh out loud one night when it was announced we were drinking to 'celebrate Independence Day' but they'd been invaded so many times they couldn't remember which one it was!
