warnie_666 1,081 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Probably so. We make no attempt to say otherwise. Our Government is exactly as you said "spineless".If only your govt had a spine and said NO to US. US wanted support to invade afghan and Iraq and while countries like India and Turkey refused UK said YES. Why? I have no clue why....there were no major terrorist attacks against the brits by Al Qaida. But then bus bombings happened and now uK is user threat. May be had UK said no US would have been less bullish on it's foreign policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a ridiculous decision by our government & despite holding, one of the biggest, protests they still carried through. There's not been a single day where we've been appealing to our Government to leave these countries alone.There's so much injustice in the UK, by actions of our government. They are as guilty as America for invading Iraq & Afghanistan etc. Our royal family is a travesty. Who has a power which is preposterous, the power to overrule the Courts.Like the case of Diego Garcia where a court granted these people, who's land was invaded by the UK & USA, to have their rights reinstated to move back home. However the Queen overruled the courts and stopped this from happening. A blatant abuse of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 But one country's genocide doesn't excuse the other's.This. Very basic logic as I see it, but one that most people don't seem see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
