The problem with the English/British is they think they are the superior race and have the god given right to invade any country they feel fit...Arrogant bastids...

Falkland islands - 2000-3000 miles away from GB (next door neighbours ehh )
Ireland - Jasus were neighbours alright but different Island different country
Gibraltar - Again right next door to GB but it'll do rightly
Hong Kong - Just left it a few years ago after years off sticking their noses in there too

I'm not too good on my History lads but is there not other countries like India and a few others that the Brits occupied

There's a whole rake of them Illdecide, from India to South Africa to Burma, Malay, Borneo, etc., etc. Sure as they used to boast themselves, "The sun never sets on the British Empire", such was the global expanse of their bloody meddling.

Not really one for Wolfe Tones table thumping but very appropriate line from 'Come out you black n tans'

'Come tell us how you slew
Them ol' Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely faced each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to their marrow...'

[Roger]

Ireland is no more "occupied" than England is. 

[Tony Baloney]

Fair fucks to the Brits. They didn't colonise these countries as holiday destinations. They were used to fuel an industrial revolution and propel the world into the age were in now (as well as bringing the all important spices for my HP sauce!).

A few natives got restless as you'd expect, but If we were waiting on any of you crying c***ts to blaze a trail, we'd still be living in mud huts.

Just sometimes you have to look outside your front door . There is a whole world out there you know, some of which has  problems on a massive scale. 

Does the name "curveball" mean anything?

Yes.

And your solution to those problems?

The problems of Curveball being an unreliable witness or the problems in Iraq generally?

No, I don't have a solution to either.

[Aerlik]

It wasn't so much the fact that Curveball had an agenda and was a very unreliable source, but that American Intelligence was prepared to accept his rants and proffer to the decision makers their undetermined assumptions as opposed to the facts.  That has probably been the cause of the shitfight today.
