You having a pop is not necessary I got my points mixed up because I was annoyed with the fatuous comment about 'guiding light for 1000yrs' as that isn't a Unionist mindset.... only in anti-Unionists' minds. It was the next bit slamming Britain for being good at fighting wars and building empires at a time when the rest of the world was doing the same thing. We don't have to feel guilty because our ancestors were f*cking brilliant at doing that. In fact I'm dead proud of my ancestors and the way they turned a small island into a world power. F*cking good on them ! I admit I wouldn't agree with some of their practices set against today's standards but you have to admire them when set in the correct historical context...... .....

Yes fair enough. I wasn't trying to defend him btw. But I'd seen the same thing and equally thought it was a daft statement. QT is full of maniacs though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be proud though....whatever floats your boat. I won't disagree that we were the worst, not that we are really able to quantify that claim, although the excesses of the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Turks wholesale genocide in Armenia, and of the Assyrians and of The Greeks, The Great Leap Forward in Communist China suggests that maybe we weren't the worst in history. It's just a wee bit uncomfortable for the sensitive souls of the Scot Nats, although I would suggest it's a false , disingenuous sensitivity based on how they can twist British history to suit their Independence agenda. That's fine, but when they are lying through their teeth about the legacy of our history and our ancestors contribution to history then I hope they accept they will be challenged. We're not all Nationalist sycophants on this forum. I would suggest that the legacy of The British Empire has been positive for the most part.......This could be a whole other thread.

sergie's no1 fan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You know what pissed me off the most about Obama? The Americans go on about the land of the free and Independence but he had the cheek to butt in and tell Scotland to reject the very thing the USA wank themselves into a frenzy over. Cunts. We are a smaller lapdog for the main lapdogs of the USA to throw a bone too once in a while, although not for much longer now. A couple of things make me smile and think you know what I'm proud we achieved that together, the way we came together and stuffed the Nazis (twice), the NHS, back when we were seriously equal partners. If it was a marriage we would have split up in the 70's. It's gone on for 50 years too long. If the UK were all Independent nations now would we all vote to join a Union in this day and age? Would we f'ck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin in New Zealand said that went down well in the Antipodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
