Once, the map of the world had vast areas of pink, indicating Britain's empire. Yesterday we read our PM told Pres Bush, I can go out and just talk ( ie It wont mean $hit, cos noboy's gonna listen) We really are just another country now, why are we still pretending to ourselves that we stride centre stage? Tony's obviously clocked on.

We were the greatest nation of all, but, as times have changed, we have crept back to our little island in the sea and become a little bit of green on a huge map. It is fair to say we took our empire by force and against the will of the nations we invaded, but we were great and we did a lot of good for those countries also.
Now, with democracy and political correctness, we cannot say anything remotely negative or suggestive as this would be a 'terrible injustice' or something. Tony knows this, the whole of Britain knows this, and so, Tony will inevitably wander up to the podium, wave his open hands in a benile gesture and talk utter cr*p while the audience mumble among themselves about how rubbish he is.
We need another leader like Churchill who isn't afraid to speak his mind.
Boris Johnson for P.M!!!

The Brits chose to spend their fortune fighting on the wrong side of World War 2. The loss of capital during that war made it impossible for them to hold their Empire together. I'm don't think this happened as the result of stupidity so much as it was the result of England being inflitrated by, and subverted by, Zionist Jews who captured the country's media and its financial institutions (esp. the Bank of England). Winston Churchill was decent Brit and a superb politician... until he was bribed with a loan of 200,000 pounds Sterling by Jewish diamond magnate Henri Strakosch. After that, he was the Jews' puppet goy.
But, no, I don't think the Brits are self-important popinjays. First of all, real Englishmen (or real Americans, either) seldom choose to put the goatee on their Yahoo avatar.

You're not self-important woodpeckers. ( well, that's what it means!) If you think the UK is worse than other western nations, you should try liiving in Australia. Your politicians may not be paragons, but at least they're CAPABLE of rational thought. Here we spend most of our energy, blowing our own trumpets and claiming to be better than anyone else in the world. (Much as the US does, and for the same reason) We're supposed to believe what they say, not observe what they do.
