Thread Name: BS: Are Americans 'insular'?
Subject: RE: BS: Are Americans 'insular'?
Ok, fair comment Larry. I admit I hadn't looked at the song - but there again I have only looked at about 10% of the threads anyway. And how do I decide which 10%? Well, the name mostly. So yes, I'll consider myself beaten up (but very lightly!)

As for the damage the UK did in the past to places like this - its unfortunately pretty typical behaviour for us. But the one thing you can say about British Rule - its consistant! Ireland (North and South), Bangladesh, Pakistan ... and don't forget Peterloo, the Tolpuddle martyrs or more recently the miner's strikes ... hang on, its that a knock at the door? :-)
