    Uhmmm probably because half your country is taken by the USA?

    Let's see... little monitoring station vs HALF of Britain off-limits to Brits, on orders of the Americans. What's worse?

    I think he's referring to the US bases in the UK, a little thing like two world wars and the North Atlantic Treaty is too complicated for him to comprehend.

    “The more Chinese tourists the merrier,” the chancellor said.

    and the less english tourists the merrier, the rest of the world said.

    “UK tourists 'among worst in the world'”
    “World's Worst Tourists? British Take the Crown Hands Down”
    “Britons voted Europe's worst behaved tourists ”

    When you get as many Chinese tourist visiting BA and spending as much money there as they do in London, you will be qualified to comment on the subject.

    Perhaps you should address your petty comments to them?

    Until then STFU you jealous little Argie!

    @9

    Dipshit! Tittiboi.

    It's because of these measures that there are not any unvited foreign powers on our soil!

    They are not foreigners they are allies and they didn't buy or bribe their way into this country.

    It's called defence of the nation, something you would know fuck all about, because it your shitty short history, you have concentrated more on taking what belongs to your neighbours, than defending that insane asylum you call a country.

    “you have concentrated more on taking what belongs to your neighbours”

    I wonder if I took your quote, and placed it on all Native American, Aborigene, and Maori websites, and also in India, and China, and Africa, and the Caribbean... and Boerland, and the Pacific Islands.... and France, and Spain, and Germany... and Egypt, and the Near East....

    ... and I told them all this is what an English guy told me.

    hahahahahahaha...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
