Sep 07th, 2013 - 07:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ooo what a surprise.....the Commonwealth?

The CPA was founded in 1911 as the EMPIRE Parliamentary Association and its affairs were administered by the United Kingdom Branch.

Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.....that's better not biased at all!

H.M. Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of the Commonwealth......

“The CPA in 1989 created the constitutional posts of Patron and Vice-Patron. H.M. Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of the Commonwealth consented to become Patron”

Like I said, not biased at all.......
Haha I see you are learning.....daren't mention the male genitalia that you are so fond of using....watered down to faggots now......still sticking with the theme though......I know you .....and what's on your mind.....;-)
The CPA is opposed to the actions of Spain because they see Spain's actions as neocolonialism. If you look down the list of Commonwealth members there is enough experience to identify a colonialist aggressor. Spain should concentrate on running its own country rather than taking over other people's. god knows its people could benefit from less corrupt and more competent government.

.......“If you look down the list of Commonwealth members there is enough experience to identify a colonialist aggressor”
I think that most of them are well aware of the biggest colonial aggressor....having had first hand experience......BRITAIN!

Is there a Spanish commonwealth association?
How many of the Commonwealth countries have votes on who stages the Olympics?

Did some guy make a pass at you once? Considering your age and pathetic language ability I don't think you need to worry any longer.
You're obviously way past your virile prime.

Any country is free to leave the Commonwealth should they so wish.
Continuing to judge countries by periods of their history would be akin to me judging the current Argentine government by the Junta that once threw innocent civilians including nuns out of planes over the a south Atlantic.
Hardly fair or accurate for CFK's administration! Nor very intelligent!

Who doesn't love seeing a silly old fart lose it?
Such a shame for you that this poofter runs intellectual rings around and better yet shuts you up so much. I've had more of your posts removed from this site than all other combined.
Keep it up Conqs you really do look and sound like a fool. I'm on totally agreeable with A_Voice on this one, shut up as let us take the piss out of you.
The Spanish government seems hell bent on fragmenting the country back to what is once was. GOOD.
Sep 07th, 2013 - 12:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps then the states that actually provide most of the money to Madrid to keep this ramshackle country “together” will get to use it for themselves.
Italy is the prime example of what goes wrong when the prosperous hard working north throws factories and money at the easy going, lazy, Mafia riddled and corrupt south. Don’t get me wrong, I love the people around Caserta, Italy, but hardworking is not in their vocabulary and they are preyed upon by the Mafia, ably supported by the local police.
Are your watching Argentina??? Now this is what “SUPPORT” looks like!
Sep 07th, 2013 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sigh...all this pressure being applied by Spain simply reeks of cynicism and short-term expediency - the currency of politicians under their own pressure. They are using up political capital and goodwill that they can ill-afford and what will it gain them in the long run?
