    It's odd that the nations with the least "colonialism" have the least standard of living.
    I hold there's a lot to be said for empire. Nearly every nation has had one, or aspired
    to having one. Empires, above all, make all subjects essentially equal and prevent
    tribal conflicts. Medicine, education, technology etc then flow from this. Empires are
    why we have nations instead of quarreling tribes.

    Sorry, but you found one of the worst examples of empire. You picked this one deliberately.
    Why not pick the Roman empire? Centuries of peace in Europe and Africa for all who were
    under the rule of Rome.

    Nonsense, we're British remember, we are the byword for honour. I suspect Boris is just playing hardball.

    Interesting use of the word 'just'.
    The British are not the byword for honour in my view, it seems to be a country that is heading towards being another banana monarchy without the virtue of bananas.

    There's nothing odd about it, there's been a deliberate de-colonisation movement by the Marxists.... that's why there's so much misery in these countries. They (Globalist Marxists) then proceed to prop up the worst of dictators...

    Empire sucks... literally... it sucks GDP out of other countries

    The Withdrawal Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the United Kingdom and the EU. It is called Withdrawal Agreement for a good reason because it is NOT a treaty and has nothing to do with International Law... The EU is NOT a nation... The Withdrawal Agreement was part of the Lisbon Treaty arrangements for any nation to leave the EU...

    The Lisbon Treaty states that there shall be an agreement covering bilateral trade... But if there is no trade agreement i.e in the event of a No Deal Brexit, then certain provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement need to be changed so that UK inter trade is not impacted by provisions in the Withdrawal Agreement which assumes a trade agreement between the EU and the UK is in place....

    Rome was always at war. The sea empires are the one's that colonized for trade, and with the trade came new ideas. In contrast, the land empires invaded the territories of others, and either had to kill them, or use them as laborers. Naturally colonizing was much better.

    UK are not breaking any laws, the EU cannot do anything about the changes to the ammendments and that why they are pooing bricks and demanded a meeting today....

    I suggest you all go and read section 38 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020. It’s written as clear as day that the UK has every right to amend the bill to maintain our sovereignty throughout the whole of the UK & NI and the EU can do absolutely nothing to disadvantage the sovereignty of the UK...

    The frightening thing is that Covid is being used by the liberals, to 'reset' the world towards a one world government. A world full of robots where nothing and no one can deviate from one another. It's nothing but another attempt to enslave humanity like in 1917.

    Removing borders and national identities, is the least of it. What Soros, Gates and the rest of the Ideologues want is more interdependency between nations. In the EU, Britain was the finance country, so they gave up their industries. Germany was the industrial country, France was the agricultural country, Greece was the tourist country, and so on and so forth.


    It's all for the one world government, that's why Merkel has been dragging one country after another into the EU. If some nations forget how to farm and others forget how to manufacture goods, wouldn't that be putting them at the mercy of a central authority?

    Those people are crazy. Instead of trying to create less dependency in everyone as a means of survival in case of a major upheaval in the world, they're doing the exact opposite.

    Anyway I agree with our Founding Fathers, the less government, the more freedom people have.

    I dost believe that to be free
    we shouldn't give our guns to thee.
    And thus protect our house and home
    from all of those, who like to roam,

    like animals so angrily,
    and tellest us so blatantly,
    that we should never dare to stray,
    for only they should have a say.

    And thus they push us on our knees
    to worship not as we so please.
    But their own gods of lust and greed
    and all the things we shouldn't heed - Jeannette

    The government minister said it would break international law.
    Was Brandon Lewis lying?

    True, but if you lived in these conquered nations for the centuries following subjugation you lived
    in the Roman Peace. Gaul for instance was a land of warring tribes. You spent your adult life in
    fighting - just as tribes continued to do in Germania. Same thing BTW in the patchwork quilt of
    kingdoms we know today as India.
    Like in all things - there's good and bad, let's not deny one or the other.

    Without clicking on it I can tell you it's my favorite part of LOB. It's worth
    memorizing.

    It's EU state aid law not international law... What are the EU gonna do, take us to the ECJ who can only make a ruling but cant enforce it becuase we are not in the EU... They can try and take us to the ICJ but the EU is not a nation..

    Even if they do manage to take us to the ICJ, in section 38 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 the UK can amend the bill to maintain our sovereignty and the EU can do absolutely nothing to damage the sovereignty of the UK... Which I may add is what the EU threatened to do by blocking trade from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland in the event of a No Deal Brexit and why Boris has to change the Withdrawal Agreement to maintain sovereignty...

    Lying or confused, I dont really know.. It was Ursula von der Leyen who said "Internation Law" and all seem to follow tow....

    Can anyone here name this mysterious Internation Law we are allegedly breaking?..

    Good Friday Agreement is not Internation Law, its a treaty between Uk and Ireland...
    The Withdrawal Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the EU and UK and is not Internation Law...

    I thought the arrangements between countries become international affairs once lodged with the United Nations.
    It is inter-national because it is between two nations.
    Anyway if Brandon Lewis is either lying or confused it illustrates the character of this very unpleasant regime, led by a genuine Prince of Darkness.
