Hard or Soft Brexit?

[Berrichonne shrimper]

I'm not sure if any of the industrial action has any relation to Brexit Barna.

Im sure he thinks the sinking of the Belgarno was due to brexit.

Yeah I know.Catchy title though.:smiles:

Wasn't it? :winking:

Probably thinks its a war crime.

Yes I do actually.But that's another matter.

Admiral Juan Lombardo issued orders for all Argentinian navel vessals to 'seek out and mount a massive attack' on all British shipping. The Belgrano, although just outside the excusion zone changed course to carry out the above orders thus becoming a direct threat to our fleet and shipping.

But that's also another matter. Like attacks on unarmed British shipping.

It's about time you came clean and pick a side.

Argentinian navel vessals to 'seek out and mount a massive attack' on all British shipping.

Sounds like a job for HMS Unfinished Sympathy.

It did sound a bit trekky but that's the way he worded the orders. Maybe he was a fan.

:off topic:The Begrano,as you state was outside the excusion zone at the time it was attacked.There is also some evidence to suggest it was trying to sail further away from the exclusion zone at the time it was sunk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_General_Belgrano_(C-4)

"Some details of the action were leaked to a British Member of Parliament, Tam Dalyell, in 1985 by the senior civil servant Clive Ponting, resulting in the unsuccessful prosecution of the latter under the Official Secrets Act 1911. The documents revealed that the Belgrano was sailing away from the exclusion zone when she was attacked and sunk."

Who cares they had already fired the first shots and declared war when they invaded the Falklands.

Perhaps your years in Spain have softened your views towards right wing military juntas and made you go a bit 'native'. Remember this was the era of the 'missing', when any left wing opponents to their regime were dumped out of helicopters into the Atlantic whilst still alive.

Not only did we restore the Falklands to their rightful place as a crown colony, by defeating the Argies we saved a war with Chile as they were next on Mr Galtieri's list of conquests. The defeat lead to democracy being restored and helped stabilise the whole of South America as up until then Military coups where very popular.

To tie in with the other thread you started it was a wonderful example of 'British values' making the world a much better place. If only you understood them you could take some pride in your country of birth.:winking:

and whilst everyone is going off topic I'd like to add that Massive Attack had to change their name to Massive in order to get around over sensitive broadcast directives during the Gulf War (and during that time Gilles Peterson was sacked from Jazz FM for playing 'Give peace a chance')

which all sounds like a Day Today skit, but was an actual thing

Did good old Tam bang a drum for the sinking of the unarmed Atlantic Conveyor or Sir Galahad per chance?

I already know the answer so don't bother.

FFS Barna, with higher income tax, worse growth than the rest of the UK, schools, police and health all performing worse than the rest of the UK (all devolved) we should be bracing for an influx of talented Scots gettong the hell out of the Nationalist hell hole.

Thought this was an interesting discussion of how Brexit was dividing families-particulary for those young people who voted remain.

That's funny, we had two Scots. around for a meal recently (they were visiting their young son who's just started as an EFL teacher here).They're both professionals.One's a Senior law lecturer at Glasgow University,her husband's in IT.

Needless to say,neither of them have any plans, whatsoever, to leave Scotland permanently.

I can see how every Guardian reader becomes so narrow minded. What a totally pointless article. No wonder her parents-in-law don't like her.

Next time your over I'll take you for a drive around Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham. Be warned none of the shops sell the Guardian.

Do they sell The Morning Star though? :winking: Merry Xmas anyway.

(PS. Next time I'm over will be in April to take in Fulham's game with Brentford -and check out how Dan's doing- plus see our last home game against Bury.I'm sure I'll be able to get a Grauniad in Putney and Westcliff).

Kids sulking when they don't get their own way....not much interesting about that.

They are the future of the UK and they've just been denied the right to live,work (and possibly)) study in 27 other European countries.

For the last 40 years that's been an automatic right,which will in the future, almost certainly, be taken away from them.

It was the older generation who voted overwhemingly for Brexit not the kids.

No it hasn't.

People will still be able to work and live in Europe just like they always have. Perhaps you would like to explain how easy it was even before Spain joined the EU
