    I find it sadly ironic that these Muslims use the freedom that British soldiers fought and died for to insult British soldiers.

        EDL founder charged with Muslim poppy protest assault[^] An utterly lopsided headline seemingly set to divert attention from the Muslims Against Crusades extremists burning armistice day poppies which I find completely unnaceptable. Note that I do not condone the EDL point of view either but the headline implies that they attacked without cause. I think even I would have been tempted to make my feelings known and I am astonished at the craven police allowing them to burn them in the first place. We have allowed the lunatics to run the asylum.

          Freedom! Surely you mean ecconomic interests? When was the last time the UK fought a war that wasnt solely for ecconomic gain?

            Northern Ireland? Falklands? Korea? Cyprus? WW1 & 2? Suez(financial but to retain not gain) And can you please provide evidence that the UK has gained ANY financial gain from either Iraq or Afganistan? as far as I can see it has so far cost a damn site more money that any return.

            You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

              Did I say that the UK actually gained from any of its stupidity? And your list is complete cock, go reread your history.

                    Yeah, as if I care how its spelt. What I care more about is the utterly misguided impression that the UK is some kind of hero and only steps in for moralistic reasons. This is total cock. Just as recently as 1860 the UK was prepared to attck to China to ensure the survival of its market for OPIUM! WW1. Germany has recently unified and invaded France in 1870 (Franco Prussion war). The UK did jack shit. But by 1910 Germany has industrialised and is a threat to our world markets for engieered goods. So we attack. And dont mention Iraq...

                              Yeah, like the huge financial gain of WWII, where no war reparations were placed on Germany, and we were paying off the Lend-Lease program to the USA until 29th December 2006. We all got fat out of that one. Then there was the Falklands conflict. I mean, if you had a little place in the country where some of your kids lived, and the local farmer sent some thugs in with shot guns, wouldn't you send in your thugs in to sort them? While the 1991 Gulf War could be said to be about self interest, have you ever thought what would happen after Kuwait, when Saddam Hussein marched South and took over the Easterm province of Saudi Arabia? Believe me - he would have done it - I met the man, and there was sod all stopping him from doing it. The thought Saddam Hussein controlling three quarters of Arabian Gulf oil is not something worth contemplating for long. I think I should change my user name to BigBillyGoatGruff. :suss:

                                Where did I say Britain actually benefitied from war? I said it entered wars for ecconomic reasons. The fact its judgement is consistently wrong is somehting they should have learmn by now but it seems each leader is determined to strut the world in his or her fashion.

                                  Ah - now you must be talking about what I call a 'vanity war', like GWII. Daddy Bush got Baby Bush into the White House because Saddam was still running Iraq when Daddy Bush lost the election. Blair joined in to suck some american d make himself a famous war leader. :suss:

                                    and by your argument please provide a list of wars that wernt (regardless of who was involved) and out of my list Korea - by mandate of the UN Suez - to reclaim private property WW1/2, Falkands to counter agression Northern Ireland - I doubt anybody this century belived that on a ecomonic basis this was a war worth fighting. on the other hand you have 1, the opium wars 2, Boar war 3, rhodesia 4, Ameican war of independence 5, American civil war 6 WW1/2 (from the German/Japanese POV) 7, virtually every war of independance 8, Napolionic etc etc to show that war for economic gain is hardly a just British thing

                                      Northern Ireland? Falklands? Korea? Cyprus? WW1 & 2? Suez(financial but to retain not gain) And can you please provide evidence that the UK has gained ANY financial gain from either Iraq or Afganistan? as far as I can see it has so far cost a damn site more money that any return.

                                      Well Tony Blair got a very well paid job with the bank that now runs the new Iraqi banking system, so he has done quite well out of his war.

                                        Freedom! Surely you mean ecconomic interests? When was the last time the UK fought a war that wasnt solely for ecconomic gain?

                                        Surely this goes for most countries and most wars. I believe the poppies were created to remember those who fought in WWI and later to remember all soldiers who lost their lives so that our way of life could be protected. I don't think it matters even a little bit to the soldiers who died, or to their families, what the war was about. At the end of the day it is simply an incredibly pathetic display for anyone to insult these soldiers by burning the poppies and the muslim community should come out and chastise any of their groups that would support this. And yes, I felt the same way about the idiot in the states who wanted to burn the Qur'an as well.

                                        I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                          I'd love to know the 'thought process' that led to that conclusion.
