      Its OK for the UK to be strong

         If you take a look back at history, literally everyone would disagree. A strong England has done unimaginable damage to almost every other society on the planet.

            How are those vaccines, antibiotics, and antiseptics working out for your nation? How many people would be dead in “every other society” without them?

            Thank the Brits for that.

            How’s the modern world in general working out for your nation? Would it be better off in pre-industrialised times? Do you enjoy being clothed and well fed; do you enjoy travel via bike, car, train, or plane and not needing to do back-breaking manual labour; do you like clean water and sanitation? Do you like to kick back and watch the TV after a long day? Or, listen to radio? Or maybe you prefer to make a long distance call to a friend? Assuming of course that you like turbines for power generation from coal, gas, nuclear, wind, or waves.

            Yep, all of the above require the Brits again… [1]

            Do you feel any pangs of irony when posting your dislike of Brits via the world-wide web, on a Turing machine based computer, powered by an ARM chip? ;)

            Do you like sport? Music? Literature… ok I’ll stop now …
