By Barack Obama and David Cameron (*) - Seven decades ago, as our forces began to turn the tide of World War II, Prime Minister Winston Churchill traveled to Washington to coordinate our joint efforts. Our victories on the battlefield proved “what can be achieved by British and Americans working together heart and hand,” he said. “In fact, one might almost feel that if they could keep it up, there is hardly anything they could not do, either in the field of war or in the not less tangled problems of peace.” Read full article

    My god, you have to be such a Moron to believe those two junkies (Cameron and O'bozo) who are in bed with the banksters and introduce austerity measures to their own people and pay off the same crooks who ruined our economy (gamble and demand money back). I wonder when those useful idiots will wake up and smell the real coffee that those 2 wants to bring us in a war with the same lies. Same with the elected and unelected smucks in Europe.

    Let's not forget Libya and those “friendly rebels”.

    Libya: Cementary of british war victims destroyed by the “friendly rebeles” ....supported by us tax payers for “humanitarian” reasons..remember?

    Those that the UK supported in thate Libyan conflict are now in government - and they have utterly condemned this behaviour by Islamic extremists. A government can never prevent all criminal activity - it is how it responds to it that matters.

    Are you part of the problem or part of the solution ?
    I you are part of the problem than by all means keep doing what you have been doing....nothing.
    If you are willing to take side than by all means help us help you by keeping the truth following to all of those who wish to know what is happening now,why it is happening and how they can protect themselves from whatever comes.
    Your continued failure to help us has brought us to brink of collapse.Never before have we been as near collapse as we are know not becouse we don't tell the truth ,but rather becouse many of you fail to see its value.

    “Libya: Cementary of british war victims destroyed by the “friendly rebeles””

    As anyone with brain can tell it was only done by a few Islamic extremist trouble makers.

    We get Argentinians on this blog moaning about British jingoism, I will in future direct them to your sick and distasteful post, to let them see what causes it.

    Those with covetous intent towards British territory would do well to remember the etymology behind the word “jingoism”

    @6 McClick
    I’m a Royalist and patriotic (loyal) but not jingoistic (absurd pride and contempt for foreigners). I keep pointing out how nationalist the Argentinians on here are, an argument that wouldn’t much water if I was a hypocrite, however I can understand why some of our side are incensed enough to be so.

    @8 Idlehands
    I think I have got it right

    There is a gigantic difference between being loyal to your country,
    And being brainwashed into loyaly.

    Being loyal, will understand right and wrong,
    Being brainwashed, is believing what you are told, without question.

    lol Argies are the least qualified to accuse any nation of jingoism because their form of jingoism is nationalism taken to the extreme, the classic examples being fanatical military governments, a dirty war that seen tens of thousands of their own children brutally raped and tortured before being murdered and dumped in unmarked graves, a war of aggression against a small group of islands occupied by a people who want nothing to do with them, a fascistic government offering up nationalism, socialism and corporatism, while issuing decrees and a constant barrage of rhetoric aimed at claiming foreign territory for nationalist expansion.

    Yeah the Argies can talk about jingoism, they make jingoism look good by comparison.

    And those Islamic extremist trouble makers are the same junkies who were funded by taxpayers from the Netherlands, France, UK, US (all who pitched in the Libya debacle), but a trendy imbecile as you can't figure that out, since you're braindead.

    @14 Fido Dido
    Well you really are putting yourself forward as a good example of jingoism aren’t you.

    I think you need to actually read what Idlehands @3 wrote and absorb it before calling someone braindead:
    “A government can never prevent all criminal activity - it is how it responds to it that matters.”

    There is a power struggle going on in Libra and our taxpayers are supporting their Interim Government, who has condemned this desecration

    You don't seem to be able to process what has happened, so I think you should look at yourself for someone that is actually braindead.

    How Noble these two countries are. Protectors of the down trodden. Afganistan, Irak, Libia,Egypt and the list goes on. Soon another little war will follow with Iran. Saviours of the world.
