To start with the Liberals didn't destroy Britain the concept of having a world empire
destroyed Britain. The reason in order to hang onto the empire they share British
citizenship to make domination more palatable. Now of course all those non speaking
citizens have decided to roost in Britain and challenge the foundation of that society.
Most of the empire building was done by the conservative groups, the nesting was
allowed by the Liberal groups so there is plenty of blame to go round.
Britain is getting what it asked for, the chickens are coming home to roost and the
folks in Britain don't like being on the receiving end.
Our society is going through the same upheaval change is terrible wherever it happens
until we realize without change the wheel would not have taken place.
This is just another thread to condemn one side or the other and blame them for everyones
lot in life.

Oh yeah? Do tell? Which ones? How did they get here?

Bet you won't answer.

Similar scenario. British nationalists prefers to remember the War of American Independence as something that simply became too much trouble for them, so they walked away. American nationalists prefer to remember it as the defeating a vastly superior opponent.

American naitonalists like to remember the War of 1812 as something that became too much trouble, so they walked away. Canadian naitonalists prefer to remember it as defeating a vastly superior opponent.

In general whenever a nationalist starts talking about history, it's a good time to ignore them.

Seems like the Canadian nationalist is still believing in mythology.

Laura Secord took her box of chocolates and a leaving the cow behind she informed
the British the Americans were coming. So are you willing to admit the fight for Canada
was lost to the British or were American forces beaten by a girl with a cow? Which is it?
Yes America got its independence from Britain, but they lost the larger conquest of
Canada.
It somehow seems funny that we were only invaded by one country the United States,
and yet we always form an alliance with them against others so Canadian eh?

By burning down the white house. To which they walked a great distance across american soil. Technically it was british that did it since Canada was not a country at the time but still squirming under british colonial oppression.

The only two people who are making a big deal out of all this and the truth is the
smallest issues of fate intervened like a girl with a cow that informed the British
allowing them time to regroup and defeat the American forces and save Canada.
Now either the British soldiers or a girl with a cow maybe the cow saved Canada
in myth who knows, the truth is Canada is still Canada so the Americans didn't win.
For that I am grateful as I've said before, I have nothing against Americans I just
don't want to be one.

Walked a great distance from where? From Canada? Just trying to understand the route of march.

I was having fun with the other Canucks toying with BL. Then of course... some Canadians have to bail the Brits out... AGAIN.

Even on CanCon the Briddish need to be bailed out by Canadians.

The concept of private international banking cartel destroyed Britian and still owns the rubble lock stock and barrel.

Boris Johnson red-faced after failing IQ test live on air


Boris Johnson was put on the spot on live radio today when he failed to answer a single question correctly in an IQ test.
The Mayor’s embarrassing performance came after his controversial speech last week in which he suggested some people were simply not intelligent enough to progress in life.
He also struggled to give the cost of a single cash fare from his home to his work on the day of his fares announcement, one of his biggest of the year.

Food poverty in UK has reached level of 'public health emergency', warn experts



Hunger in Britain has reached the level of a “public health emergency” and the Government may be covering up the extent to which austerity and welfare cuts are adding to the problem, leading experts have said.


So it seems the British, if one is to believe their media, are starving dullards, symptoms oftener shared with riotous rabble rather than illustrious imperialist. I believe we are being misinformed by a Crown propagandist or a delusional fish and chip addict in need of coins.

All the way from somewhere around Niagara. Look it up in a history book around 1812-14

The difference being that the British nationalists are right and the Americans nationalists are just beliving in fairytales and mythology.

The truth of the matter is that Froggy started attacking the British colonies in North America. The British came over and defeated the French, thus bailing out the British colonies. Then when the British, quite RIGHTLY, asked the British people in those colonies to pay for the war that we won for them, they threw their dummies out of the pram and wanted independence.

You don't find all this in any Yankee Doodle history book though. Oh no. They have the Yanks believing that evil Britain was taxing them to the hilt and the colonists fought against those taxes, when the reality is that the colonists were extremely pampered and paid just a miniscule amount of taxes that the British paid back home. The vast majority of the colonists had no problem with paying these taxes and most were against independence (some estimates put the colonists' support for American independence at just 30%). Indeed, many colonists fought with the British against the Yankee nationalists.

Also, as I've pointed out, French involvement in the conflict bankrupted France and sowed the seeds for the French Revolution.

Britain was alright though. The wealthiest nation on the planet easily paid off its War of Independence debts, so France emerged from the conflict worse off than Britain.

It's just nice to point out the inconvenient truths to the Yanks every now and then. It's just up to them whether they choose to accept them. It's not my problem.
