RSSThey are whispering, “better be a full colony of the United States than another member of the do-nothing European Union.” To many Brits, it’s intolerable watching the hated French and Germans be the big dogs of the EU. Particularly the sneaky French who lust to get revenge for Waterloo.
Right. Of course, France and Germany are not full colonies of the US Empire. They are totally and completely independent of the USA. They can sell their Mistral class Assault ships to whoever they like They can get their gold back from the New York Fed as soon as they ask for it. The US would never dream of bugging the phones of the German Government. The German Government can make American troops leave Germany any time it wants. Being in the EU makes them so much more independent.
Neither the French nor the Germans are hated. Even the WWII generation didn’t hate the Germans. They hated the Japanese.
“better be a full colony of the United States than another member of the do-nothing European Union.”
It isn’t a choice between being a full colony of the USA or part of an independent EU, since neither of those things have any basis in reality.
And Thank God for US for this. I know many in Russian Navy were keeping fingers crossed for this sale going anywhere but Russia. John McCain can be instrumental for good cause sometimes;-)

White Britons are losing ground in the new, multicultural United Kingdom, just as whites in California are headed for minority status. A lot of Brits, particularly north of London, don’t like it. Add now the flood of over a million Arab and African refugees into the Continent has many Britons in a frenzy that their happy little island faces growing troubles.
Well you are on to something there. You do know that over half of Somalis granted asylum in The Netherlands and Denmark have moved to the UK don’t you? The unemployment rate amongst Somalis is phenomenal not to mention their charming cultural habits like FGM.
Its very likely that half of the Merkel Jugend will move to the UK once they get theirs papers.
“Wog is a nasty British term”
Only since political correctness took over sometime in the 1980s. Up until then the word “wog” had a certain comedic value. Google “Spike Milligan wogs”
“remember, Eric, the wogs begin in Calais”
Yeah my dad used to say that and it was delivered with a laugh and a smile.
I haven’t heard anyone say ‘wogs’ or ‘wog’ in decades. Really. Literally decades.
But deep down, many of Great Britain’s people still think of Europeans (Germans, Swiss and Scandinavians excepted) and all Arabs and Indians as wogs.
Total bollocks. I admit there is a fair amount of antipathy toward Arabs but certainly not towards Indians and other Europeans.
That old imperialist, Winston Churchill, patron saint of America’s neocon right, dismissed India’s great Mahatma Gandhi as a ‘half-naked fakir.’ He loved the British Empire and sneered, like many of his countrymen, at “the lesser races.”
Yeah? So what? He was a man of his era.

Uh oh. It looks like leftists aren't going to let Peter Jackson get away with an all white cast the second time around!
