That is exactly what I said to him, it will be of no surprise that he had no answer other than telling me to f*** off.
The conversation went a little deeper though, he mentioned that the foreigners will soon be taking over our country and making us adopt all of their ‘cultures’.
I said (sarcastically)it would be awful if the French invaded Sussex and told us all to adopt the French flag, speak French, use the Euro etc...... he said he would ‘fight them back to froggy land’.
He is much much bigger than me so a fell short of mentioning Northern Ireland to him.
This . . . Both the statement and reply Shows the ignorance of British History, where were you during your history lesson at school? Our colonies started as trading posts in different parts of the world and expanded through trade and not deliberate conquest. Our wars with France made them larger still because we beat them on the field of battle in America, Canada and India and consequently took over their territories. Read up about General Wolfe (Canada) and Robert Clive of the East India Company. Northern Ireland is a conflict of religion which really started during the Jacobite Rebellion when King James II tried to abolish the Church of England and restore the Roman Catholic Church. Various battles were fought both on mainland Britain and Ireland, and for some unknown reason the Protestants in Northern Ireland choose to mark their victories with annual parades. But to go deeper Protestants and Catholics have always persecuted each other since the reformation, luckily today we do not burn each other at the stake.
