We now recognise it wasn't a right and proper thing.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Try 'got stopped' instead.
Let's see, what was it Churchill said? Something like "It is not my intention as Prime Minister to preside over the dissolution of Her Majesty's Empire."

Oh, as someone else pointed out, you forgot Northern Ireland. The IRA didn't, though.

without my descending into repetitious-stalker mode, would you care to try answering the more substantive point in my post?
You had some? The only point I saw was at the top of your demolib pinhead.

Ah, this reminds me of The Good Old Days! Back on the original BR. thames_sider and I slugging it out.

Now, while slamming each other and throwing everything including the kitchen sink at each other is fun, let's get serious for a moment.

Britain and the US are very close allies. Along with some of your other former colonies, such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the closest we've got. Basically, the US ended up a democracy because Britain was (somewhat partially) one at the time we were British colonies. When push to come shove, you guys stand with us. A fact that we appreciate. And a loyalty that cannot be bought. So next time somebody wants to throw you off your rock, ring us up.
