They need to read their own history I agree. Look how many people were killed in Iraq.
Hitler modelled his Reich, in part, on the British Empire
The Nazis were anglophiles and desperately wanted an alliance with Britain, intending to carve up Europe together.
The Nazis took inspiration from tactics previously used by the British to oppress an occupied country.
Britain used propaganda and censorship of the news to assist their occupation of Ireland and later, Northern Ireland.
The British government was funding terrorism and giving logistical and intelligence assistance to terrorists in NI throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
IMO, the British were essentially a rogue nation up until the 1990s.
They’re grand now though. I have no issues with them currently.
This sub is gas.
On one hand there are posts, like this, contrasting Russian treatment in Ukraine to Britain’s treatment of Ireland.
And then there are so many posts who claim that the external government we could trust most to watch our interests in terms of defence is: the British.
Very short memories, the Brits have. hmm.
The absolute hypocrisy
Another Brit obsessed post
Britain: Putin is a war criminal who should be tried at the Hague.
Iraq: will you send Tony Blair?
Britain: lol, no such crime as “crimes against peace”, here’s your new peace envoy.
As a Brit of Irish decent (mostly Irish with a huge amount of Scottish, who seemingly have absolved themselves of any role in imperialism and feel they’re oppressed Celts too, but that’s another debate) I find myself routinely treated by Irish people (both family and others) as someone who encapsulates England. I’m always told “all d’English are bastards” and I commented on a video for the Pogues song Thousands Are Sailing and I said it was a gut punch knowing that my family got on those boats across the Atlantic and that the British are responsible for exacerbating the crop failure – someone said “no, you committed genocide” as if I did it personally. It’s a long-winded way of saying “those that were cunts died years ago” and now you will not find any anti-Irish sentiment in England.
*Boris denouncing Russia’s invasion of its neighbour as barbaric.
Say what you want about Boris Johnson but I doubt the Brits will be back to invade us under him
They aren’t saying something that is untrue. A big rule of logical argument is that being a hypocrite doesn’t make you wrong.
Maybe Britain (and France, and Germany, and the Netherlands, and the US, and Spain, and Poland, and anyone else with a history of colonialism) should sit this one out and let Ireland and Switzerland take on the entire burden of informing, arming, training, and financing the Ukrainian military? After all that is what matters as wave after wave of Russian armour descends on Kyiv. Over to you guys
I’d imagine when everything settles down after a united Ireland and relations normalise between Ireland and Britain there’ll be a similar recognition that what happened in the past was wrong from whoever the dignatory will be at the time. Kind of what William has been saying in Jamaica at the moment
The Brits have invaded this post anyway
As a “British person” I laughed at this until muttering: “it’s very true that we’d say this sort of shit!”
Lad the British aren’t immortal all those lads are dead
Bit of a stretch there come on
Barbarism begins at home
It was 100 odd years ago, Britain’s a very different place with very different values now

Has Britain invaded us recently?
Double standards you’ll see them everywhere. 😉
