I still see no evidence of Britain being anything than anti-Israel in all Israel's 20th century history.
You DO know that more British and French died at Gallipoli than ANZACS?. The Aussies especially have created the myth that only they fought and died there.
BTW, it is also a myth that all the mistakes made there were by the bumbling Limeys. Aussie and Kiwi senior officers also made huge errors.
‘In Britain one doesn’t even remember the names of the disasters in conservative leadership until Thatcher took the helm. ‘
Anthony Eden, Harold McMillan and Edward Heath are hardly historical nobodies. Neither were prewar men like Bonar Law or Asquith.
It is documented in British history periodicals that Britain had a recession in 1930 but they were well out of it by 1933.
The Serbs were probably more well treated by the Austrians than they would be by any other power. The Austrians constantly tried to appease their minorities. The uprising by the Serbs was a ruse for the aggressive Serbian nation to get its chance to have Russia behind it so it could carve a nice little piece of Austria-Hungary. It's a neat little trick to flood a host country with your peoples and then claim self rule once they outnumber the locals in that region. The Russians took the hook. The French were still bitter over the Germans, and the British were looking to end the arms race as the winners.
That’s not what I learned in history. Someone is lying.
Pretty much nobodies. What did they do to stem the growth of leftism? Nothing. Useless milquetoast twits. Sort of the same experience we had in Canada.

I tell the facts.
Actually I see a consistent pattern in your posts. You seem to be the self appointed misinformer about the reality in Britain on Free Republic. You constantly defend Britain with post after post after post as though everyone here on FR are just full of shit about what we know about your country. Sorry, but reality is a bitch. America has problems, but so does Britain, and for some reason we are to believe that no one has gone to jail for Muslim hate crimes. Well they have. Muslims clearly run the agenda in Britain. You are either so blinded by love for your country and don’t see it or are purposely here to deceive. I don’t know which it is.
Funny, because I see a very consistent pattern in yours.
As will anyone else.
Yes, I defend the UK from UNFAIR criticism or historical errors. Fair criticism, I agree with. As long as people (as many do here sadly) tell the truth as opposed to myths and alleged facts and stories, I have no problem.
Most Freepers havent been to the UK, so most go on what they read here or hear from US radio, Fox News and the internet. The American freepers who have been to the UK usually agree with me, as they know fact and myth. Frankly, Sam, a lot of what is posted here about the UK IS rubbish.
Muslims do not ‘run the agenda’ in the UK, you see this is the kind of hysterical OTT nonsense I am talking about. If any UK minority does, its the black afro-caribbean community. Not Muslims. They may make the biggest noise, but that means nothing and certainly dosent mean they run the country or any such nonsense.
Problem with extremist Muslim minority?. Yep.
Too PC?. Yep.
Do Muslims run the UK?. Nope, not even close.
