While this is really absurd, its still True and is the most commonly accepted version of events.<br /><br />It snot our fault we ran our Economy into the Ground,elected crooks, and kill each other, we use to be colonies and its all the Europeans fault!<br /><br />This not only works in India and Africa, but even in Europe and America.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-47484610228631696542011-04-03T11:06:22.944-05:002011-04-03T11:06:22.944-05:00It is true, i cannot understand why the british el...It is true, i cannot understand why the british elite are now trying to give up their hard earned territories arround the world, why they are embarassed of the colonialism this day, they are forgoting that the modern world was made by the spanish, british and french colonialism, if i would be an british or citizen of any other country that used to have colonies i would be proud of have it because in that colonialism the civilization was brought to africa and america because of the colonialism i have an spanish enciclopedia of 1897 and there they talk of the mission of christianizate the natives and end with all they bad habits (canibalism, animalism, etc), tell me, how is africa or india now without the old european colonialism? an dump full of poverty and tribal wars.<br /><br /> So three hurras for the colonialism from Argentina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-89614374965019665202011-04-03T05:25:27.771-05:002011-04-03T05:25:27.771-05:00Indeed, the ruling elite in Britain seem to view B...Indeed, the ruling elite in Britain seem to view British or English patriotism as terribly embarassing these days. Yesterday of course was the anniversary of the start of the Falklands War (a national holiday, 'Malvinas Day' in Argentina) and this reminded me of how the people on the Falklands were so outraged when they learned that the Foreign Office had been trying to work out a deal to let Argentina have the place. Given the poor economy and chaotic politics that country had been going through they were not amused and felt rather betrayed by their own government.<br /><br />As for what happened to Britain? I would say a combination of post-colonial liberal guilt and socialism. You cannot afford to give everyone a free lunch and have an empire at the same time. If you can't have one you might as well make yourself feel better by pouring scorn on the days when you had.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-47002871728106225942011-04-03T00:05:02.242-05:002011-04-03T00:05:02.242-05:00I like how the Belgian Non-Government gives Advice...I like how the Belgian Non-Government gives Advice… really they just issue an order, politely, and pretend to have regard for the Monarchy. Still, it seems to me that the Antipathy for the Monarchy is misplaced govern that they are a Non-Government. Without the Royal Family, what, exactly, would hold Belgium together right now?<br /><br />And if Laurent is <i>not really a Prime Minister</i>, then why does he expect to be listened to anyway?<br /><br />Or am I missing something?<br /><br />Personally I think the King of Belgium should simply declare the inability to call a Government a Failure for the system and declare personal rule. But in this day and age that’s not likely to happen and no matter how benign his rule is he’d be called a Dictator and Tyrant.<br /><br />Ah well.<br /><br />As for Gibraltar, is it just me or does the Modern British Parliament come across as decidedly Anti-British? They don’t want Ulster, don’t wan Gibraltar, don’t even really want the Falklands, seem not to care, or even support, Scottish Independence…ect… that’s on top of being in the EU’s pocket, and selling out Sovereignty to them. Whilst ignoring that they have a Queen, and than under “Tory” Control.<br /><br />Whatever happened to the British anyway? Why is Parliament so ready to cast off all of the History, Tradition, and people that made Britain great? I do wonder what happened to the Great Islands.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.com
