We do not make British laws. We do not force the UK to conform to our laws. There is no independence party trying to get independence from the US. UKIP is about Euroskepticism.
The UK like Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Austria and the majority of EU countries pay into the budget, none of them claim to be paying "colonial fees" because that is a budget for the UK as well and when the UK was poorer back in the 1970's and 80's it was a net beneficiary which means that the UK was receiving more than it was paying. The budget goes for development programs, schools, roads etcetera inside the UK as well. The UK however has spent a lot more billion following the US in the war adventures around the globe and getting nothing in return but simply bad press.
I don't care about the balloon. I think it's dumb. I do think it is emblematic of Teresa May's government.
Of course you do, otherwise you would not be in this thread trying to be an outraged victim.
I don't support comedians making racially insensitive jokes to visiting heads of state within proximity to government buildings. If I have, you are free to quote me. I'm pretty sure I haven't done that.
Denial is weakness.
I don't think I ever said that I hate all Muslims either. I'm not fond of Wahhabist extremists. That's a long way from hating all Muslims. That's a Reagan-era cliche. Boring. You know nothing about me.
Sure sure, as above. We all dislike wahhabists like me too, but between me and you there is a huge difference regarding Muslims in general. You see normal people who do not hate Muslims do not jump on every opportunity to badmouth them like you do. But clearly your feelings are hurt once again because people are not pussyfooting around you.
