Seriously we should just cut them loose cause what are we even doing having any say in their government when we just do not ****ing care?

I already addressed this.

TBH it's just about literally half the world away so who the **** knows what they think? At least France can see England.

If anyone wasn't aware, you literally can see the white cliffs of Dover from Calais.

I only found this out within the past year or so.

Pretty cool imo.

& There'll be Bluebirds Over the White Cliffs of Dover is such a good song. I just remembered it.

True but it''s just one of those things. Had never heard it before. It sounds like one of them 'facts' that could be repeated often but not actually true though.

I bet MLM would feel threatened if he could see the cliffs and they weren't white.

I just want Britain to be back British.

"Would you like to see Britannia rule again, my friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms.
Would you like to send our coloured cousins home again, my friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms."

Roger Waters

^ Yeah, patriotism is a sentiment that you have to monitor so that it doesn't fester into xenophobia. With that in mind, MLM is absolutely right:-

Released in 1942, this song must've ripped the hearts out of the thousands of homesick British troops fighting overseas. If you are of an emotional disposition, even today you may want to get the tissues out before you click on this:-

^ :laughing: Good to see someone so openly acknowledge that regardless of how sophisiticated and fair-minded we try to sound, the rivalry of the school playground is never far behind !

^ Oh, they pretty much stay white, as they have for thousands of years. They are regulary washed by rain, as if Mother Nature were blessing them with tears of innocent joy every time she contemplates the blissful vista of the British Isles, etc, etc...

Thanks for posting Lisna, really is a fantastic song.
