So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan

You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man

[TalonMercenary]

Yep, trashy American film depicting the British LOSE a battle we WON in real life. Bloody TYPICAL

[PNETriffid]

@TalonMercenary The British empire, probably the most powerful political entity in History, did not get 'dragged into' anything. Please admit that Egypt and Sudan were both conquered by UK. Furthermore that we had absolutely no right to be so heavily involved in the politics of a region 3,000 miles from home in the first place. You accused me of not understanding History, yet you don't actually address any of my points. That is offensive, hence my defensive attitude.

[TalonMercenary]

@PNETriffid Ohhhhhh getting all defensive are we? Khartoum was an Egyptian operation with the British being dragged in. Accept it

@TalonMercenary

It is glaringly obvious that you didn't read my post, as I never mentioned the word 'oppression'. I don't know, imagine the Egyptians involving themselves in North African politics, whilst the peace-loving British kept their heads down and minded their own business. Strange how Britain ended up occupying both Egypt and Sudan for several decades, not that that is oppressive in your book. Not that you've ever read a book.

@MrRotstift We don't want all of them to go home, just the fanatics who want to impose their medieval laws on normal people. Of course there are 'extremists' on both sides and the general public usually pay no attention to them whatsoever because they are far too few in number to make a difference. Despite this they manage to besmirch the name of their religion and direct increasing levels of hatred towards themselves. They're thier own worst enemies

[MrRotstift]

So the British fanatics do battle with the civilised home guys (in Sudan, not in Essex) ....As everybody tells asians in the streets nowadays: If you don't like it here, you can go home to wewre you came from - But that's the porblem isnt it, Sirs Empire builders. YOU didn't want do go home then, why should they now. ;)

[TalonMercenary]

@PNETriffid Its glaringly obvious that you know nothing of this conflict. This was not a war of "oppression" by Britain, in fact, that was done by Egypt, who dragged in the reluctant British to evacuate Khartoum. Gladstone did not want to get involved at all in Sudan. Read into it more before making ridiculous comments
