I was in the Caribbean 15 years ago and the staff at the hotel loved the British, I asked why? -and was told that when they’d been a recent hurricane, and while the Americans and other tourists cried and prayed in the corner… the brits played the piano, sang and had a competition to see who could keep their head out of the window for the longest 😄😄😄😄 it didn’t even seem far fetched as she told me I was like “yeah I get that”, imagining I would have joined in had I been there. She also mentioned seeing the 7/7 bombings in London and seeing footage of everyone outside pubs laughing as the city was locked down. As a side note- my favourite bit was that the prize for sticking your head out the window for the longest in a hurricane was a free drink (in an all inclusive hotel 😂)

Our steel industry (British Steel) privatised in 1988 under thatcher and bought by India's TATA in 2007 because they could. Our nuclear industry (British Electric) privatised in 1996 under Major and bought by France's EDF in 2009 because they could.

These inbred Daily Mail reading cunts are so fucking gullible and easy to control that they actually idolise the people who sold the crown jewels of this country down the Thames. In fact I've even came across people who try to parrot the nonsense that it was the EU that took all of our industries and factories and manufacturers. It was the fucking Tories you simpleton dolts! Everything can so easily be fucking fact checked just by Googling. Here's the hilarious irony. Germany, France, Italy and Spain still have a very strong manufacturing base, even the mid-sized members like Denmark, Portugal and Poland have a very strong manufacturing base, isn't it weird how we're the one country that doesn't and we just so happen to blame the giant trading bloc whose purpose it was to nurture and advance our manufacturing base?

The ABC trained all their radio and TV presenters to speak that way. When it was first set up, the ABC managers, some from the BBC and quite conservative, thought that the Australian accent was too coarse and harsh too the ears, so staff were trained to reproduce a kind of BBC accent. They started to drop this concept in Oz by the eighties, and encouraged Aussie accents to be used. The presenter and reporter in this story, would have got started at the ABC in this earlier period, hence the more English sounding accents.

The early ABC radio ones sounded very English, not Aussie at all. This was because the, at the time, conservative ABC bosses, thought that an Australian accent was too harsh and coarse for radio. It was pathetic really. I think it was in the mid '70's that the newer, younger presenters were encouraged to speak in their normal accent.

The Malvinas, also known as the Falkland Islands, rightfully belong to Argentina for several reasons. Firstly, before they were under Spanish control, Argentina had already declared its independence from Spain and had fought many years of armed struggle against its armies. As a result, Argentina has the right to claim any possessions that belonged to Spain, since the islands were part of the viceroyalty territory that inherited the United Provinces. Secondly, the Malvinas are an integral part of Argentina's territory and form a fragment of the Tierra del Fuego province. The situation represents a clear example of colonialism, which involves powerful states appropriating territories of weaker or newer nations. Thirdly, the United Kingdom's claim to the Malvinas is illegitimate since it usurped the islands when Argentina was already an independent and sovereign nation with dominion over them. Furthermore, the British cannot argue that the islands were empty or in a legal limbo. Fourthly, the Malvinas are located within the submarine platform of the South Atlantic, in the Argentine Continental Sea, and are a natural extension of Patagonia. This geographical reality further strengthens Argentina's claim to sovereignty over the islands. Fifthly, England accepted the sovereignty of the islands to Argentina in the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1825. This agreement is an unequivocal recognition of Argentina's claim to the Malvinas. Sixthly, no other nation in the world can present better titles than Argentina for its possession and dominion over the islands. Argentina has always claimed the Malvinas and has never accepted their usurpation, and as such, the British are not in possession of any documents proving their dominion or Argentina's renunciation of its claim. Seventhly, England did not protest the acts of possession, national affirmation, and sovereignty fulfilled in the Malvinas by the frigate Heroína in 1820 and by the brig Belgrano in 1825, nor the enactment of the Buenos Aires law on the hunting of amphibious animals on the Patagonian coasts and adjacent islands. Eighthly, England did not oppose the exploitation and fishery contracts signed by the Argentine government with the merchant Jorge Pacheco and his partner Luis Vernet, who became the first governor of the Malvinas. Pacheco signed the contract in 1823, and Vernet in 1828. Ninthly, there are still toponymic and folkloric relics of the ancient Argentine domain in the Malvinas. For example, the Creole names of many places and all the coats and implements of horses. Lastly, the act of surrender of the Argentine Port on June 14, 1982, the agreements debated in Spain as of October 17, 1989, and the declaration (or treaty) of Madrid of February 15, 1990, did not close the debate regarding national sovereignty over the Malvinas. On November 5, 1982, the United Nations declared that the question of sovereignty should be resolved through negotiations and urged the parties to do so. In conclusion, the Malvinas rightfully belong to Argentina, and its claim to sovereignty over the islands is based on solid historical, geographical, and legal grounds.

You've been posting the same tripe on every Falklands clip I notice. I'll repeat what I said in the other one - the Falklands are British, accept it.

bighand69 It's all for show, do you think in his privileged position he was actually treated the same as he went from service to service collecting qualifications by just turning up and being there. He wears his medals (none of which are for combat) like if he actually earned them, it belittles veterans in my opinion. It's called being born with a silver spoon in your arse and one day this farse will come to an end and if you want to be a leader you will have to EARN it.

Have you served ?

Bertie Wooster Yes and whilst in the army met another idiot called prince Andrew. The only officers that should be allowed to lead should have risen through the ranks and earned their position. Not some Eton bum boy or college graduates that have no clue. Hopefully one day schools like Eton and Harrow will disappear when the gap between the stinking rich and the poor is no more.
