once upon a time, we was respected for being british around the world.
now the world just thinks we are joke

ask most people from europe what they think and they will say that we are just a small island full of stupid people who moan and groan about everything and then just roll over to be walked on by the rest of the world

will we ever be aloud to just tell people to stop being a silly tinker and tell them to grow up ?
i live in hull ( the birth place of William Wilberforce ........ the bloke who got slavery abolished )

when i politely refused to put money in the pot, they both kicked off calling me a rather rasist

next thing you know, 2 coppers turn up

god knows how far i would have gone if he had not been who he was !!
