    How about argentina compensates the native south american tribes remaining in argentina for theft of their land and for slaugthering them to near the point of extinction So_far? Surely its not one rule for the UK and a different rule for Argentina.

    Bet Sarkozy will love this comment from Cameron - “Many people tell me it is much easier to be Jewish or Muslim here in Britain than it is in a secular country like France,” LOL

    Do you understand now why brits are ugly? told you so, when you read history careful. Good news is, they, the UK, is destroying themself by the criminals (banksters in London, who don't care about the people but themself) who are protected by the laws. Question, do you know why most die hard government criminal goes to london after being removed from their own country? answer is simple..the same laws that the banksters are protected. London is the capital of crooks, nothing more.

    BUT

    in Britain, some 40 % of medical students and doctors are from
    India/Bangladesh/Pakistan....

    the per capita income of Indians in Britain is about £ 16.000 higher than others and 10 % above of medium income...

    the unemployment rate of among Indians is close to half of national avarage.....

    Re #3
    The Inquisition was indeed a Christian invention, but was the brainchild of the Catholic sect. The UK largely took to the Anglican version of Christianity and found it less prescriptive and somewhat more humane. But this is history.

    Nowadays, the state religion is Anglican Christianity and the tolerance to other sects and other religions is a part of what defines 'Britishness'.

    I am fully with the PM when he calls for the Anglican standards of probity, honesty and social behaviour.
    Last year's London 'rioters' who were opportunitic thieves betrayed these national standards.
    The rioting arsonists were fundimentally evil, and thay are the antithesis of the tenets of Anglican Christianity.

    Well, I am an atheist but understand and abide by the teachings of Jesus up to the part where he says 'turn the other cheek'.

    But my enemies have found that out to their cost.

    We, the Brits & other Falklands supporters (there are no Malvinas) attempt as far as I can see to respect the genuine viewpoints of the reasonable Argentineans.

    Then we come to the likes of xbollox, Pratt-Junta and the others who lie and rave in an attempt to emulate Goebbels and his 'If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth' doctrine. I don't turn the other cheek to the like ot them.

    Cameron is an upper class millionaire, he has never lived in the real world. He found one bollock over the veto of the EU 'Agreement', he needs to find his other one and get the FCO to castrate Argentina once and for all.

    The Argies and the trolls are just envious and jealous,
    Because they crave for some thing they can never have
    The Falklands and honesty,
    They always condemn what they don’t understand,
    For only the lonely and ugly ones judge others by their very own standards.

    Geoffrey you write as if you are a tolerant person but the reality is you are a bitter little man.Anglicanism is of course nothing but Anglo Catholicism as most of its adherents admit.Indeed Cameron went extraordinarily out of his way to welcome the Pope to England recently.
    Briton how u manage to bring Argentina and the islands into a debate about Camerons views on religion and the crumbling English society merely shows what a complete nutjob you are

    To those of you trying to con money out of my country the empire as you gladly remind us is over move on. You can't have anymore money than that which the UK already gladly gives in foreign aid. Your not getting anymore money from UK for a change we going to spend our money in UK. PS I actually agree swith some UK foreign aid decisions but when as in the video people are clearly trying to con money out of us it infuriates me. They see my country as the worlds cash cow instead of going out and making their own money in trade.

    As usual, put the blame on someone else. The Catholic Pope would not allow divorce in any meaningful sense. Henry VIII was desperate for a son and needed the marraige to be legal, hence the reformation.

    And, I suppose you think the well documented acts carried out under the Catholic doctrine over the centuries by the Pope down to the Priests of shag the women (inc. the nuns) and bugger the choirboys is an act of love then?

    Hypocrital don't you think?

    O'G #13: “Geoffrey you write as if you are a tolerant person but the reality is you are a bitter little man.
    Anglicanism is of course nothing but Anglo Catholicism as most of its adherents admit. Indeed Cameron went extraordinarily out of his way to welcome the Pope to England recently.”

    No, O'G #13,
    I am neither tolerant nor embittered.
    I do not tolerate stupidity, aggression, lies and corruption - amongst other things;
    and, though I have had plenty of things over my lifetime to be 'bitter' about, I have resolved the million minor issues and offer comment with equanimity.

    With regard to your comments on the Topic:
    I was brought up low-church Anglican;
    have little time for the institution/business of the Catholic high-church; admire most life-style tenets of most major religions, abhor Sharia Law wrt to women, etc;
    do no longer believe in God in any manifestation(s);
    and am quite happy for a PM to see a catholic, bhuddist, hindu, or any other religious or secular leader - that's what PMs do.

    So Anglicanism founded on the butchered wifes of Henry the eight can educate the CVatholic church in tolerance.I cannot digress Geoffrey you are indeed a bitter man

    Very good point,
    But alas very silly, unless of course the Irish and the argentines, and the rest of the world,
    Would NOT extraordinarily go out of their way to welcome the catholic pope.
