    Of course you can. Nazi German leadership were put on trial for the crime of Aggression http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression

    Blair et al have never been tried. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...gh-court-hears

    Scotish People: Yes

    Note: Scotish Gov: Do you want to stay in the EU? is not a valid question.
    Yeah try asking these questions in a different order. You need to fix your common sense.

    With the UK gone and Ireland moving into net contributor territory I wonder for how much longer will the Irish public put up with this farce.
    Ireland has the sovereign ability to leave the EU at any point, so it's not at all like its status prior to independence as a constituent country of the UK. But keep up your paranoid fantasies. They will serve you well in the coming years.

    It had to end sometime.
    You mean like faking emissions?

    She's a career politician. What did you expect?

    Just to make you feel better there are other nations who do this though they don't openly advertise this.

    For example US college kids doing Spring Break in Mexico and Australians going mad in Bali.

    Oh and the Chinese are being taught how to be tourists as they are fecking of lots of Europeans with their habits when they visit their individual countries.

    Shall we start with the fact that people are always looking to give an excuse which does not imply they were in control of their own actions?

    Every single time this happens we get the bleeding heart liberals come out blaming schools, social housing, Thatcher, Blair, Ghandi, God, the NHS, the railways, Saddam Hussain, Bin Laden, Bush, Obama, Trump, that north korean dude etc etc

    over 99.9% of British people never act in this way - whether at home or abroad so what is actually happening is just a lack of personal responsibility because society tries to blame someone else.

    If the newspapers just ran headlines such as 'What a bunch of *******' or 'Fookin scumbags strike again' and simply put the blame purely on the individual, named and shamed them and if they feel like show pictures of their tiny cocks you would probably find these incidents stop.

    When you give stupid people and excuse they will use it.

    Our whiplash claims exceed all the rest of the known universe combined.

    We're on the verge of being banned from some holiday destinations because of high level of fraudulent insurance claims.

    Difficult to hold your head up high any more...
    Been hanging around with sasguru again? You should try associating with some decent sorts.
