agree with all that; but the carriers can do a lot good all around the world, humanitarian stuff and whatnot, given we've already paid for them, and the aircraft

Killer asylum seeker can STAY in Britain: Sri Lankan stabbed man 21 times... but court says sending him back home would breach his human rights
Failed asylum seeker has been allowed to stay in UK on human rights grounds
Sri Lankan killer brought legal challenge under Article 3 of Human Rights Acts
Killing took place years after asylum claim was rejected, yet he was still in UK

But what do you think of the refugees that are here, legally seeking asylum and being welcomed by the good people of Kent?
Or the far right that clashed with the police while protesting the people who were welcoming the refugees?
Any opinion on the actual thread subject at all?

So if there's nobody we're defending ourselves from, why do we need WMD? I don't think people would claim Germany is struggling to defend itself and they lack WMD.
How many people from Kent were actually there ?

Life inside (and out) Kent refugee barracks. Constant harassment from the far right who protest outside the building.

Yesterday was Trafalgar Day when Admiral Lord Nelson beat the French & Spanish fleets off the coast of Spain. A glorious victory for the Royal Navy.
When you look at his crew, there were 22 different nationalities serving in HMS Victory. Britain has always been a multi cultural society.
HMS Hood was sunk in 1941 with a crew which included Polish, Czech, Belgian and French refugees in her make of of 1418 personnel. Only 3 survived.

You have all the answers, so how about, a couple of questions........
A) of these nationalities, how many in the records were V compared to P?
B) of these nationalities, how many were nations in 1805, eg Italy has only existed since 1870 ish.
C) if Britain has always been multicultural, what was it’s cultural mix in 1805, how many cultures were flourishing eg demographics, Mosques, Temples, cultural groups?
As far as C) is concerned I read an article recently about songs of praise, and that when the BBC commissioned it in the 50s there were only 15 registered mosques in the entire country.
That’s an anecdote of course, I will look forward to the evidence from you of the contrary.

As for how many temples, mosques etc, it doesn’t worry me. Perhaps cf can tell me how many Anglican churches us British built overseas?

Some of these “nationalities” in your link were not nations in 1805 so your link is inaccurate.
Italy as I indicated previously was not a nation till 1860, so no one on HMS Victory would say they were Italian, they would be, Piedmontese, Genoese or Napolitan maybe.
Similarly Germany was 1870, Brazil was 1820 so it isn’t making any historical sense and is therefore factually incorrect.
It identifies Americans, Canadians, Scots, Irish, Welsh and Manx as separate nationalities and these individuals would be British essentially. The Americans on board especially as these would have been V or P, which gets us to the harsh realities of life in 1805.
Ships of the line were floating coffins and needed an ongoing supply of men to man them, from lansmen carpenters to those that could operate rigging on ships of the line. Those dropping dead in between ports of call would need to be replaced, whether by voluntary means or impress.
It’s not some wonder of multiculturalism that there are various individuals from around the world on board, in the same way it doesn’t mean those jumping aboard ship in Caribbean ports were “Jamaican”.
The trouble these days is people don’t get taught history..........they get taught empathy.

Plenty of Irish fought for Britain, as they did Napoleon during this time.
An Irish Regiment acted as a personal guard to Napoleon while he was in Spain, which we would consider odd given his personal antipathy to the Pope and Catholicism. But it does speak to the view many Irish had at that time that they would prefer to side with a despot than with Britain.
Plenty did afterwards with Franco and Hitler himself to be sure.
There weren’t many governments that sent condolences to Germany when Hitler topped himself.......the Irish did.

west coast of Eire used to give fresh food to the german u-boats. Lets face it England had been generally unhelpful to the Irish historically.
