A famous poem by Walter Scott about my area. I have visit Netherby hall and had afternoon tea. It unfortunately isn't owned by the Graham family anymore. However the still own the wood near my house and the Church/Chapel which the local lord James Graham let me and my mother in and showed us...
Yes that's correct. Its famous around the world. Its called Gretna Green, which you can visit and go on a tour around and see the anvil where people get married. I think the marriage age in England was 18 and in Scotland 16.
Should try this local coffee and doughnut cafe called Bruce and Luke's. Its a bit modern for me and a bit pink. But the tea and coffee is excellent as are the doughnut's.
Its a local business, which I hope pushes out the American corporation in the local area and dominates the local market...
Here I am trying to big up the war between Britain and France in the English channel and nobody here cares. Hahaha. Its just Russia, Russia, Russia, oh you have China and Turkey on the outside. Haha.
What the Russian ruling class wants is for NATO to leave the former Soviet Union. So if the NATO does that, by that I mean stops doing drills and sending for troops and equipment into those places. Its more of a demilitary zone that Russia wants, then to expend into those places.
The evidence in the UK is that it is Muslim gangs doing it and the British state/Muslim communities in Britain are covering it up and not punishing the men involved. However the same is happening with the English communities with our pedophile problem too. Its all part of the same class of...
Yes thanks for bringing that up. The Opium wars were in 1839 and Chinese didn't get a nationalist government until their current ruling class look power. In that time they lose tens of millions of people, their entire ruling class was killed and raped by foreigners. So I understand the Chinese...
As a High Tory (an old English political ideology from the 1600's) I am totally and in all cases opposed to free trade or the lowering of barriers to trade between nations.
However given this is British geo-political strategic to replace EU trade with other nations trade in faster growing...
I can conform that the British have nothing comparing to the Russians in the area's your mentioned and won't have anything for at least 5-10 years.
Its amazing what the Russian military industry has achieved since the fall of the USSR. Britain struggles to build MBT's.
Thanks. A lot of great new information for me.
I am saying that it now takes two-three carriers, whereas before it took one carrier. But the carrier group is still by far the most powerful thing in the world. I personally think that a fully operational British carrier battle group could defeat...
I appreciate the comment and I like your name.
The power dynamic of the aircraft carrier has changed in the past 10 years. So before the US could send a CSG and a marine group anywhere in the world post the fall of the soviet union and it would dominate the area. However with the...
TBF they did perform rather well in Iraq, which is a flat desert with not strategic defences. And Armenia did shot down a lot of enemy aircraft, when it has no strategic depth at all and a tiny air force.
Then the problem for NATO is moving their aircraft into position to strike Russia, whereas the Russians can just move into position within Russia and Ukraine. The other issue for NATO is the Russians have layered defences with integration from space to sea, they haven't faced anything like this...
The answer to this is no. And Ukraine has nothing to do with the US and NATO or the EU. Nothing at all. Same as Georgia doesn't. Where as the European outcry when the Turkish were defeating Armenia, they weren't banging on about that to protect poor weak Armenia against Turkey.
These people...
Hilarious to me how the French, Germans, Chinese, Russians all perceive the English civilization and hegemony, yet the English people ourselves never understand it. We view ourselves as different nations, when we are one civilization.
