But I'm feeling MUCH better now

To actually comment on the topic, I have a good friend that lives in Cadez, and he told me some interesting things about this, for example, there is a town outside of Gibraltar (can't remember the name) that the decendents of the Spanish forced out of Gibraltar live in, and they dream of having the land of the their ancestors back.
It's not surprising the vote went as it did, the people living there (Gibraltar) all came from britain, are British by ancestry, and have few ties to Spain outside of location, so what to do?
As for the Falklands, they were NEVER Argentinian, when Britain claimed them there was NO Argentina, it belonged to Spain, and they never claimed the islands before the British.
The people living there are all British, but UNLIKE Gibraltar, there are no displaced decendents.
Hong Kong should NEVER have been British, it was a Chinese city stolen during Britain's Imperial era.

Britain...
What other country could come up with names like Tooting Bec, or a game like cricket, which spends 3 day playing without even seeming to start? Who else would stick mops on their judges heads, make their Lord Chancellor sit on a Woolsack, and honour a naval hero whos dying wish was to be kissed by a dude named Hardy. Who else could give us Shakespeare, Pork Pies, Open University and that Gardeners Question Time program 
What an confusion Britain is! Here's a country which fought and won a noble war, defended its territory and- in short- do almost everything right, and then look on itself as a chronic faliure for the rest of the century. Britain is quite a unique country, and the Bristish culture will never, ever die.

Your breakfasts are good, but your lunches are horrible.

How ironic, we could level the same claims at the existence of your entire nation. What happened to those poor native Americans before the US? Give America back to the natives!
Silly isn't it. How long ago was it these people were removed? 200 years? Sheesh...

Well actually the SBS is superior. They would have both to contend with
