I have shown you

1) The British claim Antarctica as their territory

2) The Closest habitable place used by the British is falklands Islands

3) There is a greater interest for the British in securing Antarctica as it is rich in resources

4) Britain is that kind of country


1)Read the Antarctic Treaty, even if it is temporary
2)Yes
3)Any country that holds and area that is rich in resources would take greater intrest to secure.
4)Any evidence to prove that Britain still is an imperialist country? Also, Portugal and Spain were imperalists at one point. Do you think that they are still imperialist?

I do not accept Britain's current scheme. Their 17th to 19th century color scheme was much more visually appealing with those snazzy reds. Now boring camo patterns are all the rage apparently.

It wouldn't be an antarctic campaign without the redcoat and brown bess!

Transferring information from disorganized notes into presentable factbooks is way too time consuming for a procrastinator. Just ask if you have questions.
Plutocratic Evil Empire™ situated in a post-apocalyptic Decopunk North America. Extreme PMT, yet socially stuck in the interwar/immediate post-war era, with Jazz music and flapper culture alongside nanotechnology and Martian colonies. Tier I power of the Frencoverse.

But it is the topic, because you said

Which is what Idi Amin's sentiments were.

So, I am attempting to determine if this idea that:
"The British implanted them, it is not their land, they should be shipped off back to where they come from."

should be applied to all persons descended from persons who moved around the world, as a result of historical actions by various British monarchs and prime ministers.

or whether the idea only applies to the Falklands.


I am not going to answer this question as the circumstances are different and within the limited ambit of this thread it should not be answered


I have said it again and i say it now the main aim is the get the British out of that area

Um, whose main aim? Yours? Because I don't know how to break this to you, Peter Wiggin, but no about of arguing on the internet will allow you to achieve that aim.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Of course we're still imperialistic, as our secret backing of the Crimea annexation shows.

No, we ARE Germany. It's a seperate account using a proxy.
We did it to attack France.
