Horrible and cruel race. They put tiny fish in tiny plastic keyring whilst they are still alive. Obviously the poor fish suffocated. And people buy these? What the hell. Cruellest and barbaric race. Those poor pups and kittens, I want to cry hearing and knowing this grrrrrrrr08-05-2021, 01:23 PM

I've gone off the idea.
The Great Wall may be interesting, but I think if I saw this or any of the other things people have mentioned on here, I'd just want to leave.
And they claim that they are one of the oldest civilisations in the world and developed things that we here wouldn't have dreamed of in those days.
All I can say is that they must have regressed seriously over the centuries.

I don't think Britain ever needs to be concerned about who has their back.

They aren't. As far as the uk and europe goes, we have no choice but to keep our noses out of your business. That is if it remains a war of economics and trade fights etc. WE would try to do our best to help matters, not make them worse. BUt we don't like being pressured to take sides in these situations. But..If it got too hot, as i said before then we would probably be standing between you. AS would be the US, Canada, New Zealand. etc. You would have to kill your closest allies, those who have stood by you for over 100 years before you'd be able to kill each other. I'm old fashioned. I believe in peace keeping rather than war making. I believe in standing by your friends. But having the guts to tell them when they are behaving badly. I don't think Britain ever needs to be concerned about who has their back.
No, we have nothing to fear militarily from the EU and certainly not France.

(Apart from anything else, the messing about trying to break open the shell for a minuscule amount of meat inside isn't worth it.)

That is all. I want nothing belonging to another country. Just what is rightfully ours.
That is what I voted for and that is what I would fight for.

Can't argue with that.
