Do you not wonder why no politician in England or party in England want independence? England are the only Unionist nation that prospers. In this union of inequality, England are the master and the other three are their pets. English people keep talking about England subsidising Scotland. Fine. Vote for English independence. I would love that. Imagine being in a nation that doesn't have to babysit three wee nations. England are too scared to go it alone. Digest all that. I'm actually heartened to read that very few people here will cheer on Scotland. It's better than the condescending "I want Scotland to do well" shtick. Oh. And I hope England don't make it out of the group stage. With a right back playing at left back, a potential central defence of Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, an Everton keeper and a full back playing in central midfield...there's a good chance of it happening. #EnglishIndependence You did have a vote, to go your own way.

Bristol Oil Services Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The Scotch are beside themselves on television and radio with the numbers of Tartan army in Munchen - which is simply 200,000 blokes on piss-up ie doing what they would be doing this Friday/weekend but doing it an hour and a half away by aeroplane. I think I heard Newsnight's Kirsten Wark gush on R4 earlier: "there's 200,000 here ... that's one fifth of the population" which doesnae bode well for election night .....

Phileas Fogg Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 19 hours ago, cotswoldred2 said: No, but there is a deep feeling of distrust and unforgiveness in what they did, and would have very much put this country under the German flag unless as a Nation we defended our freedom. To be frank I find your comments that an ex Prime Minister (in be using your Luftwaffe jibe) to be in poor taste, especially now 80 years after 'D' day. I see you got a like, probably might get a few more, but don't be fooled into thinking you might be right, you most certainly are not. Nazi Germany was very reluctant to fight Britain. It was not what they wanted at all. Hitler admired the British Empire and saw British people as Germanic. In the event they did manage to conquer the UK, their occupation would have been very different to their administration of their annexations in Eastern Europe. There is no reason to distrust a whole people 80 years on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 19 hours ago, SecretSam said: Think you'll find that a lot of nations made sacrifices. All that "Britain stood alone" bollocks was, well, bollocks. As for the UK ever being invaded by Germany, you really need to study your history a little better. Compare the German Sealion plan with the allied invasion of Normandy. To be fair, “Britain stood alone” is shorthand for “the British Empire” - although not everyone understands this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 11 hours ago, cotswoldred2 said: What evidence? Where do we start, but leave it there for now i don't want to engage with someone who is clearly in denial. Humour me and make a start with just a little evidence of the deep mistrust Germans are held in in this country. Please don't quote the Sun or Mirror football headlines which get dusted off anytime we play them. My family of the WWII generation fought the Germans or hid in Andersen shelters whilst the Luftwaffe was bombing the shit out of St Philips and none of them ever expressed anything approaching dislike of them, Nazis aside. Keep digging that hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I haven’t bought sticker albums for years, but I’d normally have all the games in my calendar, swatting up on stuff, etc. haven’t done any of that.
