I recall the Americans sponsoring the Taliban against the Russians, giving arms to the Contras, giving Saddam arms to use against Iran, giving weapons to Pol Pot against the Vietnamese, selling arms to the IRA aginst the Brits, Anti-cuba brigade (Bay of Pigs) arms to the Israelis and on and on and on. The americans sponsored more terrorists than anyone else as ever done but terrorism was a nasty thing once it reached the American shores.

Do you lot never wonder why you're so despised all around the world? Have you noticed, nobody ever bombed Switzerland? wonder why. Whineingbloody Yanks.
BTW, I think it's all Spain's fault for exiling the Moors in 1492. It may be ancient history to us, but not the Muslims.

This Robbie guy must be some sort of moron, or at the very least, a troll, well said Manc, I don't think he realises that he's talking to Brits.

Anyway, please folks, lets not go any further with this uneducated, unfounded prattle, this US-hater has prob. never been to the US for more than 2 weeks to see Mickey in Florida...

Oh, and your picture of the boy pissing on the solider...he's not in US uniform...looks more like a Royal Anglican uniform to me, whatever, it's certainly not a US military uniform.

Robbie...and I loved your profile..."left Liverpool to see the world"...glad to see you made it as far as a Spanish gin-house...good going loser, next time, think a lot more and drink a lot less before you post.

I think England should go for independence before Scotland, but then I'm biased.

Ha! Scotland govern itself? It can't even build its' own parliament building. If that's the way they'd run the country, within five years of independence Scotland would have the overdraft of a third world country

Also- regarding GB and it's "handing back" occupied territories, in addition to N. Ireland and Scotland- Spain (Gibraltar), Argentinia (Malvinas), Monserrat, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, Anguilla aditionally would disagree.

Regarding Spain and their removal of the Moors:
You say that in jest, however on TVE (Spanish National Television) following the 3-11 train attacks that was given as one of the reasons. Don't recall what source- anom. letter claiming responsibility or similar I recall)

Again, that liberal trait of "you're too stupid to decide what's best for yourself, and since I/we are so much smarter, we'll just do it for you"

I figured that would come next; the liberal playbook, page 2:

"When your ilogic/ideas don't stand the test, use personal insults as required to divert attention from the issue.

Want to know what's on pg.3?

Surely if England became independent, then Scottish, Welsh and possibly Cornish independence would be an automatic consequence?

Free Wessex!

Ironporer...lets not diss the liberals either, liberalism has been made a dirty word by the right wing - hate radio imbiciles, get over it and admit that liberalism has, on many occasions saved the right from getting mud on its face.

Free Surrey and Cheshire from the shackles of the United Kingdom!!!
