The Empire Crumbles: More American Buffoonery
 
Nigel,

I'll play with your troll for a bit.

1st; I'd like to remind you that Colonialism is pretty much a thing of
the past. The English helped it failure probably more than any other
country

2nd: The USA does not have Colonies. We don't want them. It is our
public opinion that people should have the right to govern themselves,
in freedom.

Nigel, I think you need to come into this Century and that a look
around. Colonies are just about gone

Hey Thom! tell that to the UN.
Last time I went on the tour of the UN building in NY they proudly showed
me the damn great hall in which their anti-colonial committee had its
meetings. This was a few years ago now so they have lost Hong Kong but of
course Gibraltar was on their list.
But what really made me laugh was that Pitcairn was on the list! Pitcairn!!
Less than 50 people living there and making a precarious living from their
postage stamps and totally dependent on occasional visits from a supply ship
from New Zealand! Did anyone ask them if they wanted independence?
Guess who is paying for all this nonsense?

Gibraltar is economically self-sufficient, self-governing and has a
higher average
income and standard of living than the UK. We are also more democratic
than
the countries that some of the members of the UN committee of
decolonisation
represent. We also issue postage stamps :)

Right you are Jim. Do not ever weaken under their pressure.
