    Confirmed by my wife and her extended family, perhaps you would care to speak to some, but that would expose your identity and the gobshyte you are, and we couldn't possibly have you exposed

    This is correct. To an extent. And context is important in understanding why this happened.

    For example, Britain had a Naval presence in Brazil to help protect ports. The Portuguese Royal Family fled there during the Napoleonic Wars and the British military supported them. So it wasn't really an invasion. There are other similar examples.

    Many of the actual invasions occurred during the Napoleonic Wars or during the two World Wars to help liberate those countries from invaders.

    Any implication that all historic British military actions have been about plunder or subjugation is incorrect. Of course, the British Empire did exist, but even that is a more complex subject than it is currently fashionable to think.

    To be honest I didn't even read it it just looked a crazy headline, it didn’t come from my troll closet I found it in 4 seconds on google ! but let’s be honest we’ve done some terrible things including genocidal levels of slaughter.
    Many of our immigrants came here to help us and it’s best we don’t forget that when it’s become a poisonous word. That of course doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make sure we protect ourselves, but there will be many good people arriving on boats who would contribute more to the country than most of the hotel protestors or rioters. Plus there are of course some who won’t.

    But a lot more crazies with rape intensions and knifing attacks, along with terror, they should be stopped and not allowed entry till checked. Plus the amount coming in daily is unassailable financially, Love how you keep changing the subject when wrong
