What's wrong with being a small island?
Small islands are very loyal to Britain (not only
the United Kingdom, but all except one of the remaining British Overseas
Territories and all of the Crown Dependencies; the other Overseas Territory is
also small, and is bounded on three sides by the sea) and to the Queen (all but
three of the remaining Commonwealth Realms, one of which is a very big island,
while the other two also have lots of coast).
Small islands get left alone, and they get to
leave everywhere else alone. What's wrong with that?
Nothing at all wrong with it.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't our size but our lack of international significance (particularly since the New Labour years) that he was rightly referring to.
Thanks to the 5 million or so people Blair let in over a decade (how on Earth did we not protest over this?) we are not even a British island any more.
And, as Andrew Neather says, that was precisely the point.
Anyone who mentions Andrew Neather has lost the argument. He was the tea boy.
