  • The overseas terrotories are not completely self governing, they have limited powers, ultimately they rely on the UK government.

  • @suryavajra tengo entendido que en su pais existe la peor recesion economica de los ultimos 50 años,tambien no deberian seguir permitiendo la entrada de inmigrantes de otros paises porque colapsaria la economia mas de la que esta,mi pregunta es,si el gobierno de E.U.no esta aplicando medidas para evitar la entrada de mas inmigrantes,esa es mi pregunta

  • We built the largest and most powerful Empire in history. We Britons are the greatest people in the world.

    Rule Britannia.

  • rw

  • hey nobody suspect that the French empire would collapse, nobody tought that the Ottoman dynasty would fall, nobody was trying to think that Russia(sovjet Union) would fall why would they think that the Birtish empire would fall a part

  • The new Leaf Programme

    Helping British Veterans with PTSD

  • (its time for Australia to break free!)...?

    I really hope not all Australians are like you, whats the word?... are yes, idiots!

    Australia is not ruled by anyone, she is a free country, with a Monarch that never interferes with government, NEVER!

    Britain does not rule Australia, it hasnt for a very long time. If you dont like your heritage, then just move to some country that hates the UK, try Argentina. From, your masters, some English guy.

  • @Ionlyfearphobophobia Come on, "your masters" is a bit heavy. Im a Brit but still, I dont want to be Australia's whip cracker, but Australians! If you ever change your mind... you wont hear any complaints from me ;)

  • MALVINAS

  • @111jasy111 Yes, we defended them against the Argentina Pirates

  • I love it when "dinky di Aussie" Republicans show up - it always gives me a good laugh. You want to be a republic? You pay for it, mate.

  • 26% of the world to this WTF!!!!!!

  • @matthewmttyd Then let's make a referendum with neighbour countries. Let them have a say, like Cuba and Jamaica with the Turks & Caicos and Cayman Islands. 

  • @111jasy111 Well right there you'd lost Jamaica with the Turks & Caicos and Cayman Islands. All in the British commonwealth. 

  • @TheIceman567 Cuba in the British commonwealth? Didn't know that!

  • @TheIceman567 Also Hillary Clinton on behalf of your country's goverment gave support to Argentina by publicly expressing that she encourages talks between the UK and Argentina to put an end to this dispute, a dispute that is recognized by the UN almost since the inception of the UN itself.

  • @111jasy111 No they did not the US government supported talk for a peace way. But point is they're still British. And you'll you that vote.

  • @TheIceman567 'the US government supported talk for a peace way.' which means the US is with Argentina - not to hand sovereignity but to restart sovereignity negotiations between the UK and Argentina.

  • @111jasy111 No it does not. First of the US government doesn't care they don't want to see a NATO ally fight else where when they need them in Afghanistan. And yes the US will always say talk peace we're sure as hell not gonna say "Go to war"

  • @TheIceman567 Turks & Caicos are not part of the British commonwealth. They are remnants of the British Empire and until the mid 80s they were rightfuly called 'crown colonies'. These crown colonies are on the UN list of non-decolonized territories, where 80% are still under British rule. Your country has 3 territories on that list. France has one. That's it. Coincidentally those three countries still hold a permanent seat at the UN Security Council since the inception of the UN.

  • @matthewmttyd also it's quite convenient for an english citizen to say it's irrelevant how far they are OR how many they are because the UK is the country that has more responsability with those kinds of territories in the whole world. france, US & UK are the only countries that still have overseas colonies. coincidentally, those 3 countries hold a permanent seat at the UN security council for 66 years already, which gives power to lobby and veto any decision that might affect their interests.

  • Comment removed

  • @matthewmttyd regarding colonies france only has new caledonia. the US has 3 colonies. but the UK has more than a dozen colonies, remenants of the british empire, thousands of miles from the UK itself. it's simply unacceptable in the 21st century. most of those territories were occupied by colonial powers and those days are over. or so i thought...

    let's make a world referendum regarding the 16 non-self governing overseas colonies of the world.

  • @matthewmttyd i'll invade english land. expell every brit. squat as much as i want. bring family and friends. and declare it's rightful argie territory. then after 178 years my descendents will definetly claim they want to remain argentine since the territory is argentine after all

  • @111jasy111 Well i think the islands are free that's what 1982 was all about. And " US has 3 colonies" Try more then that. You see this why Argentina can't be taken seriously you need to get some smarts on yah. Yeah there are no Argies on the FALKLANDS. There are Falkland Islanders on the Islands which means their home is the Falkland Islands which mean they can vote for what they want and that's the Union Jack over Port Stanley. If Argentina had it's way there would be no say but force like1982

  • @TheIceman567 it's hard to express correct view in a foreign language. brits should switch to (understandable) spanish from time to time! OK OK i was referring to the "UN list of non-self governing territories", a list of territories that, according to the UN, are not decolonized. you'll see that argentina claims malvinas as much as spain claims gibraltar on that list. beyond that there's no controversies(except w.sahara). also most territories -around 80% of them- are british crown colonies.

  • @111jasy111 "it's hard to express correct view in a foreign language" Well sorry the only voice that counts is English seeing that it is the world's number one language. Britain doesn't have to speak in another language because like in Gibraltar, In the Falklands it's the same word as in Spanish "NO". And in Gibraltar some of those people whom you speak of are Spanish-Gibraltatians. Whom in part of the 2002 vote, Voted 99.8% to remain under British rule.

  • @TheIceman567 99.8% doesn't seem a real democratic percentage to me. truth is self-determination does not apply to that people. it's a flagrancy to keep britain's clutches within malvinas and gibraltar. look at a map and tell me if you really think those territories should really belong to britain. i guess you'll say "YES" but common sense says "NO".

  • @111jasy111 Yes they do. As long as the people say they want to remain part of the UK. It's their land not Argentina's or Spain's to called. Spain in fact even signed away Gibraltar in In 1704, during the War of the Spanish Succession, a combined Anglo-Dutch force captured the town of Gibraltar, and under the terms of the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht it was ceded to Britain. And the People voted to remain. Just like the Falklands the people say no to Argentina because it's their right that theU.K.give

  • @TheIceman567 let's make a world referendum. let the world decide if britain should keep all its colonial outposts, remnants of an empire that ruled the waves with terror and bloodshed.

  • @111jasy111 Why? The world has no say because Argentina wants to keep on being a cry baby about something they'll never get back.

  • Lovely video.  Thanks.

  • This video defines why Britain is a great Island nation.

  • shit im happy to fight for thr union jack.......and ill happily die for it :) salute to the british empire R.I.P all fallen British soldiers

  • i am so proud to be british it transends logic ...never the less i am british and i am oh so proud .love the clip by the way ....carry on sir ...well done

  • first free scotland...then wales...north ireland...cornwall...

    and THEN...MALVINAS...

    USA cant help you anymore england...with tecnology arms or military supply...you are by your own...your economy gonna break sooner...you gonna need the help of the EURO and IMF!!!

    you cant use anymore the OIL from north of scotland...and you would not use more the highlanders scottish o welshmen for fight your IMPERIAL WARS!!!

    the austrohungary empire,the prussian,the URSS...U R NEXT BRITTISH!!!!

  • @leandrox1 their is a diference between austro hungery, rome and all others .....instead of one big bang the british empire just kinda simmerd out ie .the sun never set on the british empire

    ....also as churchil said ...nations that go down fighting rise againe ...lol .u gota love his oretor..

  • @leandrox1 Congratulations on boosting the anti-British Argentine stereotype

  • @leandrox1 fuck you britain is one of the most stable kindoms in history staing free from invasions for 1000 years and with the best infantry forces in the world if we do go down were going down with a fight and we wont anyway

  • @leandrox1 God I hate most Argentinians, moany fucking cunts, the "Malvinas" have never been yours and never will be, now fuck off and masturbate over Messi or whatever the hell you do in Argentina.

  • @ben34766 reading your insults, I now understand the Scots and their desire to get out of UK.BTW not worry about Argentina and MALVINAS, Care of London and the rest of England when Muslims get to introduce Sharia law in your country, gonna be very funny see your daughter using the Burke and marrying at 10 years old.hehe(what MESSI has to do all this? ah you must be fans of man u. .. your ASS IS ON FIRE yet? hahaha) u must be a REDNECK english style I guess...

  • @leandrox1 I'm from scotland/.

  • @ben34766 ,That was wrote by Tim Lott in the The Independent about Scotland independence"What was normally hushed up by the proud Scots was

    that they still have some of the worst levels of poverty, inequality,

    drug addiction, violence and drunkenness in Europe. Scotland

    has twice the rate of heroin addiction of England."...you are "proud" that after 300 years of union your fellow citizens live in this way? (said by English media, not by me)...but you hate me and my country,very "clever" boy.

  • Free Malvinas!!!

  • Good title. The last remains of the British Empire . Well said. A colonial enclave. Britain's clutches deep into South American soil. Hilary Clinton in the name of the US Goverment is saying that talks must start right now. However, the UK is hiding behind UN Resolutions that were made to free oppressed people from all over the world. It's time to stop this flagrancy. The world is watching. Truth will prevail. God save Freedom and Democracy. Bye.
  • The united kingdom is now just a kingdom of trannies.

  • WAR OF OIL

  • Good selection of music, video and images.

    its amazing to think that some places thousands of miles away from the mainland are still under Great British control, God Bless the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and all of her loyal overseas colonies

  • If there is no longer a true Empire, with routes to India or the Cape of Good Hope to protect, then none of these islets are really 'strategic' to Britain, are they? At most, the ones like Assencion or Diego Garcia serve as strategic bases for joint UK/US enterprises, with the emphasis on the US need.

    The rest of the islands or outposts, except the Falklands and Gibraltar, are mostly there because nobody is really sure what to do with them.

  • @bjdon99 Britain may not have an Empire to protect anymore but they would be very strategic if Britain went to war overseas! Out of 14 colonies, 7 have Royal AirForce bases, 3 have Royal Navy Bases (plus a fourth in Singapore) All the rest still have landing strips and docking ports so could also be used if necessary! Britain has the second largest number of overseas territories after the U.S.A, which has 15, and also no Empire to protect.

  • @WolfytheWolf5667 you fool there is no free in a monarchy, how can you be so stupid, but it is normal you born in a monarchy how can you know what the word freedom means

  • @Zerc92 You're the Idiot Britain is the oldest consecutive democracy on Earth, she elected her first parliment in 1265. The Constitutional Monarchy has no political power what so ever, as a dignified and respectful salute to the Monarchy contribution to British history as a 1000 year old institution with nearly mythical roots the Royal family inherits centuries old family estates and fortunes and is gracefully offered a contribution to from the taxpayer, less money then the US president recives.

  • even your national anthem is based on your queen instead of your country or your heroes, so tell me, who should you be proud of your country or your queen

  • @drunkest100 you know, I feel sorry for you because you do not know what democracy means, if the Queen decides to ruin to you you can not do anything about it because you live in an empire that is not country but monarchy, and you are proud of being slaves to a woman.you do not know what it means to be free, you are linked to the decisions of a person not elected to govern them, that's not democracy, and you're proud of it, can not see that your mind is sick and be proud of monarch0.

  • @Zerc92

    Monarchy is better than Democracy.

    We can sure see how our Government is working. How was it like, removing EMA mr David Cameron?

  • @Zerc92 ey @drunkest100 just tell this stupid that he is right he is an argentinan he think the god born in that stupid country full of lazy mfk your queen has a superpower empire he is on a democracy with a president that has 3th world class country jajajjajaja stupid zerc92 en espanol demagras a los mexicanos y los europeos te tratan como mierda nadie los quiere pinches narisones jajjajajajjaja

  • Uk are full of pirates and murders, they want money and they dont care about the others in the world, they are still living in a empire with queen, thats patetic and they think they are free, even their national anthem is not for the country but o their queen

  • @Zerc92 Long live the Empire of Great Britain and the Falkland Islands! Dont even know what your anthem sounds like pal.

  • @Zerc92

    Full of pirates... two words, royal navy. Dont care about others in the world? What so countries which have been established or untouched would not be better off had britain, or england before 1707 had not discovered or explored them? Yes we still live with our queen HM Queen Elizabeth II, if britain declares war it is the government with the consent of the queen, ITS A CONSTITUENTIAL MONARCHY.... it has been for years before elizabeth. PT 1

  • @Zerc92

    Have u ever heard the national anthem by british people at events? They actually know the words... i dont know your nationality but i think your 18 from 92 in your name. Obviously back in the day we did want to prosper the same as any nation, but what we gave back pisses all over your statement. PT2

  • pirates...

  • @DeltaEagle7700

    From what, pray tell?? lol!

    Look they've got their own problems closer to home.

  • @suryavajra from the nation that conquered them, destroyed their way of life, and bastardised their culture.

  • Comment removed

  • @drunkest100

    Oh?? And the Brits didn't do that all over the Pacific?? Really?? lol!

  • @suryavajra Mostly, we took over foreign affairs and forced restrictive trade practices upon local populations, nasty, but not nearly as bad as forced christianisation and destruction of traditional heirarchies etc. Also, look at the former British islands, one thing they all have in common, they are all free. Now take a look at Hawaii, Guam, Midway, American Samoa, still all part of the American Empire.

  • @drunkest100

    Excuse me?? What of the Pacific Islanders that were forced to wear English clothing and adopt Christianity?? Dude, you guys were awful in the Pacific. Question, how many Pacific Islanders represent their countries as either representatives or delegates at Westminster? Answer: None. In the US?? Well Hawaii has two senators and two representatives. the rest of the islands you mention except for maybe Midway send delegates. Midway has no population of natives. Sorry, dude...lol!

  • @suryavajra That was in Hawaii, in the British Pacific tribal chiefs remained, local customs were observed, one of the ladies in waiting at Queen Elizabeth II coronation was the Queen of Tonga, which was still a part of the Empire at the time. No need for representation at Westminster, they are all independant. Compare Samoa with American Samoa, hypocrite. Midway came off the top of my head, point conceded on that one.

  • @drunkest100

    HAHA!! No need for representatives...lol!! So how did Virtual Representation work out for the British Empire??

  • @suryavajra I dont know what you're getting at here, what happened in the British Empire happened in the past, the American Empire is still at it now.

  • @drunkest100

    No such thing as the American Empire, bud...

  • @suryavajra An Empire in all but name, pal...

  • @drunkest100

    sorry, but Empires don't grant representation in the legislature. 

  • Comment removed

  • @suryavajra

    here u are again, u really are anti british arent ya. Nice name.

  • @DodgyIdeot

    Yep, I am here. I'm not anti-British...lol! thanks, I like your name too!

  • @suryavajra

    U could have fooled me. What interests u about british history then, where does your negativity originate from? And what nationality are u?

  • @DodgyIdeot

    Well I'm American by nationality. As for negativeness it comes from the history and reading of it...lol!!

    What interests me about British History?? Well I'm mostly interested in the Dark Ages, to be honest because it is such a mysterious time in Britain's history. But other than that, I'm interested in Britain's colonial history albeit its policies towards the colonies within the Empire and how these were run.

  • @suryavajra

    Im 20 and from what iv learnt the bad things which we did could never match against the good. All the building and infrastrucutre the laws, the public order is still there in all original colonies. I am damn proud of my country and what its contributed to the world, and no matter what bad things i might hear about how we treated people i would die for my country. Thats something which cant be taught in a school or shown in world, its who u are..

  • @drunkest100

    LOL the american empire..... thats not a empire u fool

  • @DodgyIdeot Your name befits you, read back what i've said, I was trying to show Suryavajra the hypocrisy in his statements

  • @drunkest100

    HAHA! Well in all due fairness to DodgyIdeot, you failed miserably there, bud...lol!

  • @suryavajra

    why dont u tell someone who gives a fuck?

  • @drunkest100 Yeah, And your point. The people chose to remain part of the US. That's why just like Britain's last lands there still ours.

  • @TheIceman567 No they didnt, they have no choice in the matter. Britains remaining dependencies are indeed all by choice (except Diego Garcia).

  • @drunkest100 Yeah they do son. In fact the US is going to hold a vote for the people of Puerto Rico next year on what the people want

  • @TheIceman567 No member state of the Union has the right of secession, check it out.

  • @drunkest100 A ww, Yes they do or else this vote wouldn't be happening. Not to smart are yah?

  • @TheIceman567 Again, no member state of the Union has the right of secession, check it out, they had a little war over it, called the Civil War, cant wait for your next reply!

  • @drunkest100 Yeah but that was over other reason and it was fought 150 years ago. Times change and yet this is why puerto rico will have a vote it's not a state. But you see also i see you put Midway and Hawaii. One has no people and the other is the 50th state already.

  • @TheIceman567 Like how you avoided telling me how the Civil War was about slavery, well done, you get a gold star! You'll see in my previous answers that I accepted the argument about Midway etc (came off the top off my head), and my whole point in our discussion is that NO MEMBER STATE OF THE UNION HAS THE RIGHT OF SECESSION, that means Hawaii and the 49 others!!

  • @drunkest100 Well because the civil War wasn't just about slavery. I find it even more funny that Brit is tryiong to tell me about my own country hell i'll bet you've never even been to the states. So i'll give you a heads up the state of Texas was talking about secession just a few years ago and still are. And one man Ron Paul who are running for President himself said "If a State joins under it own will, ThThen it should be aloud to leave under it's own will. LittleFYI do some more reading.

  • @TheIceman Have been to America, many years ago. Have also done some reading (also many years ago) having taken American Studies in my first year of University, where I was taught by an American incidentally. If my memory serves me correctly, Texas does indeed have the right of sucession, and the option of dividing into two or three states if it chooses, however it is the only state which has this right, the Civil war having been faught primarily to prevent the sucession of the southern states

  • @drunkest100 Yes you're right it does. And the war was.

  • @DeltaEagle7700 soon we may we gave most back when we became civiliesed lol so maybe one day all those countries who are poor african and indians will want us back for protection :) god bless

  • It make you proud to be British

  • i dont know why we gave it away, bring bk the gd old days. LONG LIVE ENGLAND!

  • @alexwilton18 We had to. We had no choice.

  • @alexwilton18 we didnt have enough money after ww2 to keep it going so we left it

  • i feel sorry for the people in the empire who arnt brittish i know i hate having the union jack in the Australian flag

  • @michaelwebo

    Yeah, true that!! Here's hoping that Australians will adopt a new symbol, uniquely Australia which can serve to rally Aussies to that banner.

  • @michaelwebo You ungreatful pig.

  • @EagleDeal Ungreatfull for what?? the Queen brittan Tea?? stuff the commonwealth

  • @michaelwebo Gosh you're pittaful learn to spell kido

  • @michaelwebo We should of left your country the jail heep it once was, i can tell you you'd be german if it wasn't for us, you ungreatful pig!

  • @EagleDeal we would be german?? really? i mean really? i beleive it Was Australia who ran to the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD to help you defeat Germany if England did nothing in WWII nothing different would have happend the germans would still be defeated your calling me ungreatfull?? without the help bloody england got from the world YOU would be run by germany

  • @michaelwebo

    michaelwebo, it is interesting the way that they bash the Commonwealth countries, hey??

    I read that Aussies were ordered into the meat grinder in two world Wars, they went through Hell and this is the lip they get?? you're totally right.....''Stuff the Commonwealth''.

    My parents come from another one of the unheralded Commonwealth Countries that gave so much but didn't get so much as a ''Thank you'' in return.

  • @michaelwebo Lol you actaully think ur bitch ass army done any good in ww2 lol ur stupid if it wasn't for us THE STRONGEST ALL TIME ARMY IN THE WORLD ud be german u ugly cunt get back into a cell you slave

  • @EagleDeal really mate really?? if you diddnt do anything YOU would be german not us not anywhere else you would you only saved france with help of everyone else

  • @michaelwebo Are you really that brainless? do you get taught nothing in school? did you not learn hitlers plan for the world you dirty motherfucking ass hitler wanted to take over the world with the help of Turkey and Japa. After he has sucessfuly taken over every other country he was going to betray his allies and have full power of the world. DUMB FUCK

  • @EagleDeal yeah but do you realise it was not our war to fight dumbass it was a war in europe not our concern yet faggot so counties from all around the world came and saved ur ass .... Fag

  • @michaelwebo What are you on about? of course it was your war it was a world war. The US has always had strong relations with europe (in particulary the UK). Economically, HItler wanted self relience so the US would have missed out on exporting to Europe. Socially, the majority of the US population would have had close family in europe and would want to help them out.

  • Comment removed

  • @Britainsloyalist

    Exactly. Then and only then it was America's War to fight. That's the way it was, and should of been.

  • @Britainsloyalist well im not american and no they wouldnt!

  • @michaelwebo they wouldnt what?

  • @Britainsloyalist Other way around.

  • @TheIceman567 nah without the UK there wouldnt of been a foot hold in europe, and who do u think tranined the unexpericned US army at the time? I dont want to cause some massive anglo-american argument but there is NO way in gods kingdom that the US could of fought hitler and won without the help of the british...I mean over half of the troops at D-day were British/Candian!

  • @Britainsloyalist Well again, i also don't want to massive Anglo-American argument. But you do know who supplied the UK even before coming into the war. And in WW2 the US trained it's own forces. And yes i agree with out the UK it would have been tuffer but it would have still been winnable. Because by the time we came the Soviets as well were fighting.And we supplied them as well. Yes D-Day was everyone that's why it was called an Allied landing.

  • @TheIceman567 the US surplied the British I know....but the british did train the US forces in spealist areas like demolitions etc .....and also eveyone always affilates D-day with only the americans because they saw saving private ryan!...which then led to ALL the comptor games which you ALWAYS play as the americans centre stage , with British missons being "not so important"

  • @Britainsloyalist Yes and Americans trained British troops your point? And why D-day is affilates to America is becuase we're "Americans". We know the British were there you can watch moves like The Longest Day and you'll the Brits were there we know but both Omaha and Utah beaches were the only Beaches that were hit by only Americans.

  • @TheIceman567 my points that the US was inexperinced and with british help wouldnt/ couldnt of won single handedly I mean if the Germans struck down the americans , they could then focus on the Soviets and then push onwards to moscow and win the war. I've seen the longest day , but thats still like one film out of like 20 games, films and references. The only beach that had soley americans on was omaha...I read sumwhere that british comandoes also attacked Utah, but Idk if thats entirely true

  • @Britainsloyalist No the Brits, Canadians and French had Juno and sword. Well it's also fact that with pout the US the British would have fallen. It just would have been a mater of time.

  • @TheIceman567 The Brits were on Gold, sword and juno ....and I'm not denying that Britain could of won on her own...but I still think they might have been able too....Battle of britain is evidence , battle of Al alamein ETC although I apreacatie american surport in the war , its still a simple fact that without the British ,america would of been conqured eventully either by the japs or by the germans ...either way you need us as much as we needed you

  • @Britainsloyalist Well with all respect the battle of Britain was an Air war Britain didn't have the man power to push back the Nazi's by her self. And at Al Alamein American weapons again played a key role like M3 and M4 Sherman Tanks. Plus in the Pacific the Japs were stopped at Midway just by the US showing they still didn't have it. Nor did the Germans. We still would have had the soviet Union we aided them as well.

  • @TheIceman567 The British pushed the japs out of burma and up through asia....the japs and pushed so far in so quickly that they're surplies were low and then cut off...leaving the Britsh to push back in 1944. Also as said by Hilary clintion "Britain always holds the line ".after all how would of america got to europe?,Britain was your foot hold in europe, with or without the soviets , you still needed a way in!..also bear in mind they started off on germans side lol

  • @Britainsloyalist It was called D-Day. Yes we landed from Britain but also days later a force landed in South France. and in Italy from Vicky held Morocco. And if the soviets were in the War duh we would have attacked with them from the east. Would have taken longer but still would have done it. And i for once don't ever dispute what Hilary Clintion said. The British are a tuff force. But in WW2 before America you were just holding in. 3 Armies you were fighting.

  • @TheIceman567 dont forget tho that where ever american forces were, british forces were to the left or right....like at d-day,italy, asia etc...the problem is that we see it all from a histoical view. During the time of the war the view was very diffent.The British had just won the battle of britain and al almaien, spirirts were high and people realised they COULD win, after all they were a hyperpower!

  • @Britainsloyalist No i agree. the war was won by all allied forces that's why they were called the "Allies".

  • @michaelwebo Both of you need to realise that the UK, US or Russia could have defeated the Germans single handed. We all needed each other. If the Russians weren't involved, all the German forces would have concentrated on West Europe. Once they took that, they would have most likely taken the US because Japan were distracting troops on the Eastern Pacific.

  • @michaelwebo and whys that?

  • @Britainsloyalist BECAUSE IM NOT BLOODY BRITTISH! you dont own our country we can go on our own great any time Australia deserves there OWN FLAG OWN Head of state and Own dignity by not having the union jack on the flag!

  • @michaelwebo I never said we owned you? .....also as I recall most australians like the flag cuz its apart of their herratige...also regarding the head of state thing, if enough australians appeal agaist it you can have a referredum and loose the queen and leave the Commonwealth....so make ure own flag and shutup about it!

  • @michaelwebo Soo you deserve your own flag? No you dont hahahahaha ...you have one, its called the Unoin Flag and your mother gave it to you on your birth.. that is your identity!

  • Its still there in the top corner as a reminder of where you came from ..and dont you ever forget it

  • @michaelwebo i am not totally sure Australia isn`t owned by the British,we better check the details,Australians govern themselves yes but strictly as the UK paid for it`s development from scratch and settled it maybe the UK has a case for ownership,and the colonists who were happy the UK were paying and protecting them for a long time would understand this i think.Yes the colonists gave blood too protect the motherland so i think maybe it still is British.,and Canada the US and the others too.

  • @michaelwebo The thing is, heads of state aren't cheap to run and they do tend to interfere in politics given half a chance.

    As it stands, the GG is "appointed on the advice" of the Australian PM (the last time it wasn't a rubber-stamping exercise was more than 80 years ago, and that was little more than a spat over protocol), and have been (except for the latest one) senior judges, clergy, politicians or millitary personnel or minor royals (going back a way).

  • @rufust1975 thats not the pont we dont gave a shit if the PM advises 'jolly good england' the PM should be the President for gods sake! we have one of the strongest economy's in the world at the moment and europe is getting worse and worse with theirs its time for Australia to break free!

  • @michaelwebo I think you will find the Aussie growth rate retracted by minus 1.2 this year ie its in recession, & it isnt one of the strongest world economies - if u were you would be in the G8

  • @michaelwebo

    Good on you michaelwebo!! I like the sound of a Republican Australia...

  • @suryavajra  so do I........goodbye!

  • @2666dm

    So do you what?? You are for Australian Republicanism?

  • @2666dm

    what are you talking about?

  • The Empire died in '97 when we handed back Hong Kong. We need to accept our time is over & concentrate on not letting immigration & political correctness rape what the Empire gave us. Born British by luck, Born English by the grace of God.

  • for god and the empire!

  • We were empire children. A small white boy, I grew up in the African bush of pre-uhuru Tanganyika. Speaking fluent Swahili from young, loving place & people, we nevertheless had to leave 4 years after independence, because of outside factors, & leave my Dad in a bush-grave. I wrote a book "Speak Swahili, Dammit!" Video can be seen this site. We loved the empire, & suffered at its end. Now it's good going back to East Africa, 44 years later, and see progress of watu. But serious problems too.

  • proud of the sas poisoning the farmers wells !

  • @DecencyPOLICE -Proud of the Irish fighting over Religion because they have learned f**k all in the last 1000 years!

  • @OfficialFearClan the war in the north has nothing to do with religion.The media has done a great job of hiding the truth.Lots of Protestants fought for a united Ireland and the working class..The media is all right wing lies set up by the government to frighten people and brain wash them into thinking that the governments we have are here for our good but in reality they are greedy capitalists pigs that shit on the working class for their own lust of power.....

  • @coirpeach1 Theres just one problem. You are both biased and wrong. (And you appear to have an absence of puberty)

  • @OfficialFearClan There is no problem and im not wrong,why I am biased??because im telling the truth ..I know lots of people that spent time as Irish pows and I have sat down and had meeting with the other side to discuss peace process.Now none of us that sat down at these tables give a shite about religion or god,it was about uniting 6 counties to the other 26 or keeping the 6 counties independent from the 26..I know this

  • @OfficialFearClan the Irish as you call us have been fighting Imperialisim and colonialisim you seem uneducated and duped into thinking that the british imperialist system haveonly created divisions using religion social class etc as another dirty tactic in expanding disorder and bad feeling within the populace whilr robbing them both the united Irishmen and the levellers or the civil rights movements were not about religeon or race!

  • @OfficialFearClan ahem sectarianisim was just another tool contrived by the racist imperial colonial system

  • @OfficialFearClan Listen up Ihe Irish as you call us have learnt a lot in the last thousand years onre of the things we have learnt is that the Imperialist british like to create sectarianisim and racisim to devide nationsm the british flag is a company flag a pirate flag the butchers apron is not the flag of a nation!
