The Portugese and Spanish did far more damage in America than the British did.
In fact in the 1812 war the British armed the natives. That was the war that Britain took The Whitehouse and burned it out. Hurrah |

iris quoting the socialist worker says it all. its also an oxymoron. my previous anti-irish post was really directed at him. that post is entirely a reaction to the poisonous anti-brit threads started by ignorant gobsh1te iris. it was intended to annoy
why does this monomaniac fool have to advertise his loathing on a public forum? im all for people posting whatever they like during the course of a wide-ranging discussion, and ive been scathing about britain meself. i dont like the religion of peace and love and have criticised its defenders many times but i dont constantly start threads attacking it. this erbet does. hes read a couple of childrens orrible istory books and thinks he has a clue. he doesnt and its pointless and offensive. hence my similarly offensive effort i aint anti-irish, as anyone who has had the misfortune of reading my late-night loony rambling will know. quite the reverse in fact oiche mhaith |

Most Irish aren't stupid enough to realise that a struggling England(i will leave out UK as certain factions are feckin pities altogether) is a bad thing, the arrogance and downright stupidity of johnson,erg was amazing to witness and worse was the amount of backing. |

It was a good job we got there first - imagine if the french and spanish had won Trafalgar?? Or Napoleon come to that. Hitler would have marched right through France and we would be speaking franco/german.
OH hang on. He did anyway haha Only the brave pilots from the uk, our commonwealth and Poland stopped that though. |

British war crimes are acts committed by the armed forces of the United Kingdom that have violated the laws and customs of war since the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, from the Boer War to the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021). Such acts have included the summary executions of prisoners of war and unarmed shipwreck survivors, the use of excessive force during the interrogation of POWs and enemy combatants, and the use of violence against civilian non-combatants and their property. As a further strategy, General Lord Kitchener ordered the creation of concentration camps – 45 for Afrikaners and 64 for Black Africans. Of the 107,000 people interned in the camps, 27,927 Boer women and children died[15] as well as more than 14,000 Black Africans.[16] |

The production and use of chemical weapons was strictly prohibited by the 1899 Hague Declaration Concerning Asphyxiating Gases and the 1907 Hague Convention on Land Warfare, which explicitly forbade the use of "poison or poisoned weapons" in warfare.[47][48]
Even so, the United Kingdom used a range of poison gases, originally chlorine and later phosgene, diphosgene and mustard gas. They also used relatively small amounts of the irritant gases chloromethyl chloroformate, chloropicrin, bromacetone and ethyl iodoacetate. Gases were frequently mixed, for example white star was the name given to a mixture of equal volumes of chlorine and phosgene, the chlorine helping to spread the denser but more toxic phosgene. Despite the technical developments, chemical weapons suffered from diminishing effectiveness as the war progressed because of the protective equipment and training which the use engendered on both sides. By 1918, a quarter of British artillery shells were filled with gas and the United Kingdom had produced around 25,400 tons of toxic chemicals. |
