It wasnt thrown as an insult, thats my point, it was an obsevation.
Back tracking again. If it walks like an insult and if it looks like an insult it is an insult.
Apologies to any ducks for paraphrasing

I dont ''now'' deny it at all, ive never said it or implied it.Yes feckwit, they did offer us an out, and yes we chose to continue fighting. Happy to accept that as fact, never disputed it.
What I maintain, and you now deny, is that you offered it as an option we could have taken and that would have been in British best self interest to take. The inference being that by refusing we are the heroes of Europe and they should all bloody well remember where they would be without us.
I will apologise for the other portion you highlight, nowhere have you said exactly what I have accused you of, so let me rephrase it.
I am disgusted by your belief that no other European Nation sacrificed as much as we did, in that other nations who count their dead, in greater numbers than us, sacrificed less than us, because they had no choice.
I repeat, France declared War on Germany when we did, it was not under direct attack. France lost far more than us, so even in your narrow definition of sacrifice you are wrong.
I repeat, Britain had conscription starting in 1939 and throughout the second World war, so our soldiers had little choice, and I ask you again, in your definition of sacrifice, do the conscripted soldiers of Britain who died count?
I havent backtacked a single time , so how can i be doing it again ?Back tracking again. If it walks like an insult and if it looks like an insult it is an insult.

I suggest you just read your postsI havent backtacked a single time , so how can i be doing it again ?
No it was his general demeanour , failure to make eye contact and his whispering to the other person in the group, which i later found out was an instruction not to let me know who he was , as i said , strange.
As i said , I havent backtracked at all , can you just let me know where i have to clear this up ?I suggest you just read your posts

Basically you cant , and have fallen back on the tried and tested ''im watching the cricket/football/anything to avoid admitting i cant'' excuse.If you can't be bothered to look thats down to you. I'm watching Kent v Sussex so have far better things to do that ne entertained my you during your day out.
Correct, you probably are, I've already explained i used that to highlight our CHOICE in deciding to fight.Glasfryn said. "that was not the point I was trying to make, we still had to go over there and save them
imagine if we had not done that"
I said "So it was not in Britains self interests at all? "
Feckwit alfredmizen said.
"The Germans offered us an armistice, they would have europe, we would keep the empire, we turned them down. "
From this, I somehow got the impression that you believed we went against the best self interest of accepting Hitlers deal, and carried on fighting for the sakes of everyone but us.
I might be mad, but that is what you meant isn't it? If not, what did you mean by it?

Thats just it , you dont know , youre obviously not bright enough to read the meaning of what i said , and while youre at it , if you want to call me a f*ckwit , why not use an asterisk and be done with it instead of using silly replacements like a 14 year old schoolgirl................... you c*nt.Yeah Ok feckwit, course you did. You know, I know, and anyone who reads it can see.

That isnt backtracking in any way shape or form , neither of them, you absolute clown.Innings break Post 83 in response to post 82 then 149
Now watching the Sussex innings so leave you to your insults/observations
That isnt backtracking in any way shape or form , neither of them, you absolute clown.
That was the price that was paid. Not the result that was sought.
I am not going to try and give you a history lesson, and there are differing views, but Britain, acted in what it believed, rightly or wrongly, were it's best interests at the time, it was not an altruistic action purely for the benefit of other European nation states.
