In what way, exactly? Because we are just British it was kind of a joke in the sense that I've read and heard countless times that we've never been European and never will be. Not sure if and why we are different but people just think we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2017 It's a shame there's not been quite the same clamour to sort out the Northern Ireland problem that the Gibraltar thing has inspired. It's almost like it's something nobody knows how to fix, and moreover nobody cares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something something Falklands, something sun never sets/Howard But it does seem incongruous we'll chuck out outrage over Gibraltar, but we'll brush Northern Ireland under the carpet and pretend it isn't there, when is actually a more pressing problem. And I've yet to see an answer to that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've yet to see an answer to that problem. Yes, being serious for a minute, you're absolutely right. I don't think Northern Ireland has been given much consideration, and the consideration it has received has mostly been laughable - 'we'll have more customs checks on the main roads', oh right, well that should deter the criminals then, how will they work a way around that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 We're trying to get India to make use of our fin tech services as part of a tariff free trade deal, but they want freedom of movement for their people. Time to send a few gun boats and remind them who's in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripple 'em - according to one of the lead stories on the Torygraph's website. Quote Britain's Royal Navy is substantially weaker than it was during the Falklands War but could still "cripple" Spain, military experts have said. And they finish off with a reference to Cadiz 1587. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long until we get some Tory word removed officially making reference to the war with reference to Germany? (Giving them a clean slate after the Article 50 invocation, we all know the WW2 crap was peddled enough back in June). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 15 seconds of Michael Howard on Sky News and one of the UK's newspapers has gone and got a 'political correspondent' asking for quotes from a (retired) Rear Admiral on the UK's capability v a NATO ally. It's really quite stupid. Edited April 2, 2017 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
