Once great Britain- America's little drummer boy

They are keeping Julian Assange holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London indefinitely, but he has not been charged with anything in either the UK or USA.

They host the largest snooping station in Europe- which, we have recently found out, is largely devoted to snooping on the EU.

Afghanistan, Iraq, you name it- they'll be there, licking Uncle Sams boots.

Along with the US and Sunni Gulf States, they are funding and arming Al Qaeda in Syria, against a secular regime. The Islamist rebellion does not enjoy the popular support of the Syrian people (why would it?).

And now, this-

Glenn Greenwald's Partner Detained At UK Airport Under Terrorism Act

Glenn Greenwald's partner was detained by authorities at London's Heathrow airport for nearly nine hours, the Guardian reported on Sunday.

David Miranda, who lives with Greenwald in Brazil, was held under a controversial provision of Britain's Terrorism Act that allows police to stop, question and search people without having to prove any reasonable suspicion, and without a lawyer needing to be present. The paper said he was held for the maximum amount of time allowed under the law:

According to official figures, most examinations under schedule 7 – over 97% – last under an hour, and only one in 2,000 people detained are kept for more than six hours.
Miranda was then released without charge, but officials confiscated electronics equipment including his mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles.

Miranda was coming from Berlin, where, the Guardian said, he had stayed with Laura Poitras, the filmmaker and journalist who, along with Greenwald, has been at the center of the storm surrounding NSA leaker Edward Snowden. Ironically, Poitras, whose work usually involves sensitive national security issues, re-located to Berlin from America because she had grown tired of being constantly detained and questioned at airports.
Glenn Greenwald's Partner Detained At UK Airport Under Terrorism Act

The once proud country of my birth is nothing more than a lickspittle. I believe they should be kicked out of the european union, for the sake of freedom and democracy, and the rule of law. They are nothing more than an American puppet, with little if any credibility as a sovereign nation left. Within the EU, they are merely an American trojan horse and a serial impediment to decision makiing.

I think this question should be looked at seriously- do they really deserve to be in the EU? They produce nothing of note, merely provide a market. Their biggest industry, banking, is part of the problem, a leech on broader society. On matters of foreign policy and principles of liberty and governance, they are nothing more than a US puppet. Throwing them out of the EU (the average Euro would be quite glad to see it, I wager) would at least remove the pretence, the veil- and the UK could become amerkas 51st state. Or remain on it's own as an impoverished nation. Which means, either way, the lot of the British working man would definitely get worse. The EU owes absolutely no allegiance to the UK. Get out while you can, poms. If you can.

The European Union is far from perfect, but it is the sole significant entity left in the modern world still carrying the torch of democracy. On which basis, the UK sullies it.

Time to rethink that premise, eh? Sounds like the UK has it's shit together far better than the USA in terms of 'going to war'. Thank goodness we can still count on the moral support of the Frogs...

The cheese eating surrender monkeys have got your back Barrack. I hope that’s not racist.

It is not in the Western nations interest to take any action to stop this conflict.
Terrible that the kids are being killed etc. but as long as the sectarian divide keeps the atrocities in the mid-east then good.
I am not anti semetic but the big winner from all this A-rab spring shite is guess who ?

Then, of course, there's the thriving motor industry in Destroit.

Well he is a phony. I bet this is the first bit of US warmongering that he has "opposed" (I think he secretly wants to see Syria bombed) all because it is Obama at the helm. Massive hypocrisy.

Can you please make it clear when you've quoted tosh from the Daily Mail or some other nonsensical rag? Thanks.

**sabang** · 01-09-2013, 09:47 PM

I make up my own tosh, thanks. I think a brit rant was entirely warranted, given it's Stasi like detention of that David Miranda gu(a)y. Brit government acting as a hired thug? What brit can be proud of that.

**Marmite the Dog** · 01-09-2013, 10:10 PM

^ I agree that the UK government is a disaster and has been for a while, but to say the UK produce nothing of note simply leaves me to assume you've not been near a modern motor vehicle recently.

For example, nearly all car technology that is being badged as anything other that from the UK is simply a lie.

Nearly all aircraft technology (that works) is from the UK.

The bulk of modern medicine is still developed in the UK or by British led teams of scientists.

And just for you, the latest military ships and subs are the most advanced in the word, by some margin. Shame they're wasted on supporting the US militarily when they should be used to sink the kunts.

All in all, per capita and despite the fact the a very large portion of the country need culling, the UK still punches way above its weight; more so that any other country.
