A Downing Street spokesman later added: "We've put the country £1.4 trillion in debt, government ministers are chin-deep in sleaze and the cops are beating merry hell out of everyone. We just felt that the obvious next step was to tell thousands of heroic soldiers to go **** themselves."

Feck off - it's one thing to invade country in a fair fight and totally another to use drugs to control the population, that was totally underhand.

Originally posted by Turion View PostThe Chinese were complicit in these events. Don't tell me that the locals bigwigs didn't profit. China was weak at the time and all the world p!ssed on them. That was their fault for being weak and corrupt. As for some dying - well it's not stopped their population ballooning to 1.2bill. As for them coming here, why bother when there's large tracts of underpopulated prime land right next to them in Russia for the taking.

It is great fortune that China is not at war with UK over such events.
The least this country can do is let in natives who helped sustain British empire for so long - it would not have lasted that long without their help.

We're gonna get the blame for global warming (We started the industrial revolution, and if we'd not done such a silly thing as to advance mankind in this way, there would be no problem as we'd all (the world) still be living in cess pits lit by candles).
All the affected nations will use that as another excuse for trying to come here.

Roman legionaries had to complete 25 years' service to get Roman citizenship, back in the day.
Fact is we ain't Rome! Let them in.

On topic I do hope that the Gurkhas get residence, their contribution has been significant.Last edited by TykeMerc; 29 April 2009, 20:33.

The scale (and time period) of these events are very different.
