Most people on here, including me, are Bitiish citizens and have a right to vote in the UK.

Sorry but I can't see where you're coming from on this either.

I'm not sure anyone one has said it's good for the economy. Needed and good for are not always the same thing.

Poms make me laugh. They bang on about their 'respect' for their armed forces and support of the troops etc, yet they elect and re-elect (and look like they are going to do the same with the current one) governments that continually f**k over the military. What a joke, this prick should be on trial for treason, not up for another term.

You get what you vote for Poms.

I do not consider the use of the term pom to be derogatory in the context that I used it.

Ok so you did state poms and have done so in many posts (shame you forgot)
You still didn't answer my question. But as you're going off on a tangent I'd not expect an answer....

Excuse me?

Gordon Brown comments below. I could find similar comments from Bliar and probably every other Labour minister of the last 10 years. The "good for the economy" mantra was rolled out endlessly.
