Better Luck Next time, England [Moved]

Errm, the aid was from the UK, not England. You'll aggravate Scotland, NI and Wales by assuming that only England contributed. This is why it's a good idea to stay away from politics in the lounge. Take this whole thread to the soapbox and it will be properly debated there.

Scots now need a reason to be "aggravated"? Did I miss a thread or something? :)

I assummed that Its Ok to provoke Aussies, English and to some extend Irish because thay have better sense of humour.Now that's just racism.

Its is called reverse racisim. It was never allowed to joke/banter Indians. As soon as that happened, it was shouted as rascisim. But at the same time, it was not frowned upon to riducule Germans, yankees or even English by "Underdogs"

Scots don't need a reason to be aggravated. Only an opportunity.

It's still racist, and such behaviour has NO place in the lounge.

Unfortunately, I dont have power to move the thread. Can you please do the honour?

I'd love to, but sadly I don't have that power either. Guess we have to wait for someone like Nish to wander by.

In the same way that posting such a thread about Indians (or insert nationality of choice) would be as well. You deliberately set out to provoke a nationalistic reaction - and that's trolling.

Do Dave's comments about the French fall under trolling as well?

Note my smiley! I am aware fully, it is all the political BS that really annoys me. Actually Britain sells £Billions of goods/services a year to India, why would we want to spoil that?

It's a shame that (as I understand it) unless you are selling to a company which is a net exporter, India imposes high import taxes, which makes it hard to sell into them.

The Rafale is the best fighter in the world. I don't even understand how someone can look at the Eurofighter, which is a wonderful true POS.

I fear that this is only an unproven opinion. And there is only one way to find out for sure. Which I personally is not in favour of.

Not sure what you are thinking about. Give a bad pilot the best fighter, and he won't be able to do anything with it. The Rafale is a very good fighter, has brought many improvements in many aspects of aircraft technology. The pilots nickname the Eurofighter the flat iron. The Rafale has only one problem : it is utmost expensive.

Of course they do. However, others seemed to have been effective in putting him in his place.

Not really pissed off at losing the contract, because it will be late delivered and over priced and the aircraft will be unreliable and falling out of the sky. And as for the £1Billion in aid every year, even your finance minister doesn't want it (see here[^]) But the restiction of visas for foreign students is all down to politicking.

I presume that is because they can't put them in reverse?

I find it plain stupid to state things like that. What is the point ?
He's a euroskeptic, frech are(at least at the higher level) proeuro so everything made by french is jubberrish to him. Including the first car, the first airplane(although a little romanian help was there), the first diesel engine, the first turbocharged engine(f1 way back) they are all french jiberrish unreliable things. Plus some weeks ago he happily predicted the end of euro during that weekend. He just can't be objective. In a sentence "French is bad, EU is bad, UK rules." :~ PS @DD I didn't downvote either.
All the best, Dan

Not really. Whatever happens he still is living in a country with no long term water supply, mass poverty and illiteracy and about to go to war with it's neighbours.

Well for about 3-4 centuries, you took all the aid you could get from India. It'll take you another 300 years to pay it all back. :-D How about we start with the Kohinoor?
