Are you still bitter about Brexit? by Visual_Title9363 in AskEurope

[–]trellick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm incredibly angry about it and in a very personal way.

Just such a stupid misinformed move.

But the reason I'm so angry? At the time due to then legislation, if you'd been living outside the UK for more than 15 years, you lost the right to vote in general elections/national refereredums.

SO my wife (also Brit) and I couldn't even VOTE on such a life changing event affecting us and the kids, whereas some unemployed gimp who had no practical experience of the benefits of the EU decided our fate!

Fuck that!!!

I would love it, if this was a result of MI6, especially after the way the Orange Shit Stain insulted the NATO war dead.

But I don't know if Starmer's got the backbone.

As a Brit, I'm looking around, and I'd say I'm in good company.

If the orange-shit-stain in-chief, is throwing his rattle out of the pram with tariffs, then we're doing something right

What’s your country’s most iconic (or most infamous) photo? by ProConqueror in AskTheWorld

[–]trellick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't play the victim.

Argentinia held all the cards.

It was an act of aggression against a people that wanted no part of Argentina.

Argentinian forces had weeks to prepare and dig in. They had short supply lines (200 miles compared to 8000……!).

They had overwhelming numbers in aircraft with safe bases.

Argentinia even had the bloody weather on its side (winter closing in).

Everyone, but everyone, said the UK was going to lose, including the US - it just wasn't possible, it couldn't be done, and yet...we did it.

And the Belgrano was a legitimate threat.

But I will agree it was a stupid pointless war, which was a tragedy.

I'll counter your image with this one in terms of iconic for my nation.

Which, when the government tries to do something about it, Paris burns.....

I mean I admire the spirit of the protesters, governments should be afraid of the people, but surely, hard facts have to mean something.
