Catholics do love a bit of fascism

Ive looked back on the now very old posts I put here.

Must say Im surprised such an ignorant borderline racist remark as this about Irish people hasn't already been questioned.

I work a lot with an Irish guy now. Good friend of mine.

He has not got anything good to say about the Catholic church and its power over Irish Republic for years.

Sounds like you've a problem to work on then.

What about people who don't come here to work and then slag it off? (Whatever 'it' is).

Anyone denigrating the Holy Mother Church should burn in this life just as they surely shall in the next. A more old school type of government inquiry.

Must say I was born in this country and 'slag it off " on regular basis.

That's not what I said in my post.

Thick as mince.

It's been an issue since the 18th century, which somewhat predates the discovery of oil.

Whale oil?

 

[spitfire]

Whale oil?

Whale oil be damned.

Shouldn’t that be:

Beef hooked?

I'll agree its not the most rational argument.

So, a few months ago, Xavier Milei was doing the usual usual new Argentinian president schtik and banging the table about how British sovereignty over the Falklands must end, and that fuckwit Simon Jenkins was agreeing with him in The Guardian.

It seems his opinion has softened now and he accepts that The Falklands are British, and that he'll pursue diplomatic channels, like he ever had any choice. It's taken one of their most nationalistic leaders for decades, to realise that they've been talking bollocks all this time and presumably, now kick this into the long grass for a couple of years until the next time someone wants to win a few votes in Argentina.

Shouldn't the rest of them just call it a day as well, and accept that The Falklands aren't, never were, and will never be, Argentinian?

Is that their way of apologising to Argentina for supporting the UK in the war?

 

[kebabking]

They trolling...

 

[Spymaster]

I’m not sure what it’s trying to say.

“We lost a war over this place in 1982”?

It’s a bit like the British gobbing off about “Yorktown 1781”.

Probably stuck there by an Argentine - you know, the kind of patriot who goes to live in another country as quickly as they can while telling everyone how fabulous their homeland is...
