# I hate all this
'We'd have won this because were so much better than the yanks at warfare' bollocks.

We couldn't even beat THEM at war, hence the way we're now slowly being imperialised with a bastardised version of our own culture.

# Yeah but that's market forces, innit.
If the proles weren't so idiot and easy to satisfy then it wouldn't happen.

As it is Jade Goody is an angle and McDonald's is for lunch.

# I like the story of Harry Smith's 2nd Battalion 95th Rifles from the War of 1812.
They burst in to the Whitehouse and found it deserted and a banquet laid out ready. So, being soldiers, they sat down and started tucking in as the place burnt around them.

# Yeah, but it was no great loss.
The American colonies cost us far more to garrison with troops than we made in taxes. We should have just let them go without a fight. Now if we can get rid of Wales and Scotland we'd be laughing.

# Scotland doesn't have oil.
England has oil, since England has a navy and Scotland doesn't.

The Scottish deficit is about £15billion now. That's £5billion more than the North Sea oil industry generates.

# I think you've missed the title of this compo.
'If America were still British'.

We'd have had them on our side if that were the case.
