Yeah I don’t think Australians really drink it. Any ozzies I’ve meant make a point to explain that they hate it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

the common cheap (I say cheap but its like 5 quid a pint) beer similar to a carling etc is Tooheys, VB and Carlton...4X up in QLD

----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah but its ok because the UK did terrible things so his views pale in comparison of importance in his pea sized brain.
he probably thinks it was ok for lee Rigby to be killed given he was only killed because he embodied the British army which symbolizes Britain whom Robb feels have blood all over their hands so national hero statues can be defaced and the flag can be burnt.
horrible cretinous attitude

That is the problem with beers brewed under Licence. They are rarely as good as from the original brewery.
I have never had Fosters in Australia but the U.K. version is crap.
The only beer I have had that breaks this rule is the Bud that is brewed in the U.K. it is much better tasting that the dish water you get over here.

It's insane how little so many British people knkw about their history especially the history of the Empire, its not thought in schools though so understandable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed we’re not taught anything about colonialism at school. It’s all Stone Age, Bronze Age, Gold Age, King Harald, Tudors, Henry Xiii, WWI & WW2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I did Gandhi at school, so the British Empire isn't totally blanked out - and that was back in the early 90s. I agree that British imperial history should be taught in schools. As a former English teacher, I can say that a lot has been done there, at least, to promote "non-Western" voices and perspectives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's good to hear, its needed in a country that has a massive population of ethnic minorities who are in the UK because of colonialism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
strange generalization
the folks from the Caribbean arrived to take up menial labor jobs that our working class couldn't be bothered to do until the industries got smashed by thatcher and we became a services economy
Poles arrived mainly during or after the war from fear of communism
most Indians arrived after they gained independence
most Bangladeshis arrived after they too formed a nation to escape persecution from Pakistan and poverty
Most Pakistanis arrived after the partition due to lax immigration laws owing to them being part of the commonwealth of nations.
look at the racial make up of the country both during and after our colonialism. People came to the UK for a better standard of living and due to lax immigration laws not because we were currently ruling their country.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope, you throw away "gained independence" like it means little FFS.
The vast majority of ethnic minorities in the UK are there due to their home nations being colonised, France is the same especially with Africans.
You speak of a better way of life, tell me so how the wealth to build tbis "better way of life" was gained?
See this is the crux of the problem, the complete lack of ownership of how Britain (and several other European nations) became so powerful.

No he didn't throw it away. Most immigrants have arrived after their independence. And we often agreed to independence with war, unlike France.

Robb & Winston
I direct this to all but name you both as you are the most recently involved in this entire discussion and I firmly believe that you do appreciate such discussions and hope that you respect others’ opinions.
Regardless of what you might think of my opinions, I can promise you I am reasonable person and I do listen and I truly enjoy hearing other people’s points of view, as long as it consists of more than ‘you don’t get it’ et cetera.
My question is if you have watched the video that pek posted from Jordan Peterson and if not whether you would be willing to or not? I am completely willing to watch any video that you may think I would benefit from watching.
Here is the link for ease:
https://youtu.be/sSDClxjcR-4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did they even reply?
I watched it. I've heard him say much of this in other videos, but always enjoy it when someone can analyse something academically. It beats all that wishy-washy stuff we constantly hear.
Also watched that other link you posted, and came across this one in the recommendations which I think is more relevant as it's about police brutality:

when coronavirus gets into the million of deaths like flu does EVERY YEAR then I would be proven wrong until then we will destroy economies, force people with serious illnesses to die because their treatment is stopped and reprioritized .....
given all these tens if not hundreds of thousands of people around the world have flouted lockout laws for these parades protests and riots, I am expecting the death rate to go up massively, but it won't.
Your voice won't be so condescending then

Nope, you throw away "gained independence" like it means little FFS.
The vast majority of ethnic minorities in the UK are there due to their home nations being colonised, France is the same especially with Africans.

You speak of a better way of life, tell me so how the wealth to build tbis "better way of life" was gained?
See this is the crux of the problem, the complete lack of ownership of how Britain (and several other European nations) became so powerful.

It’s actually brewed in Manchester
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is the problem with beers brewed under Licence. They are rarely as good as from the original brewery.
I have never had Fosters in Australia but the U.K. version is crap.
The only beer I have had that breaks this rule is the Bud that is brewed in the U.K. it is much better tasting that the dish water you get over here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yep feel the same way about the German beers, had to always see if it was actually imported or brewed in UK never tasted as good

It's insane how little so many British people knkw about their history especially the history of the Empire, its not thought in schools though so understandable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed we’re not taught anything about colonialism at school. It’s all Stone Age, Bronze Age, Gold Age, King Harald, Tudors, Henry Xiii, WWI & WW2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I did Gandhi at school, so the British Empire isn't totally blanked out - and that was back in the early 90s. I agree that British imperial history should be taught in schools. As a former English teacher, I can say that a lot has been done there, at least, to promote "non-Western" voices and perspectives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's good to hear, its needed in a country that has a massive population of ethnic minorities who are in the UK because of colonialism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
strange generalization
the folks from the Caribbean arrived to take up menial labor jobs that our working class couldn't be bothered to do until the industries got smashed by thatcher and we became a services economy
Poles arrived mainly during or after the war from fear of communism
most Indians arrived after they gained independence
most Bangladeshis arrived after they too formed a nation to escape persecution from Pakistan and poverty
Most Pakistanis arrived after the partition due to lax immigration laws owing to them being part of the commonwealth of nations.
look at the racial make up of the country both during and after our colonialism. People came to the UK for a better standard of living and due to lax immigration laws not because we were currently ruling their country.

No he didn't throw it away. Most immigrants have arrived after their independence. And we often agreed to independence with war, unlike France.

Nah you’re just a diiickhead, I remember you made the topic where you thought that the Coronavirus is some sort of conspiracy and the normal flu kills more people.

As I said, the most stupid person I've ever come across. You can't argue with stupidity on that level.

Right, have we burnt all nations flags now given they have all committed varying degrees of atrocity?

Robb & Winston
I direct this to all but name you both as you are the most recently involved in this entire discussion and I firmly believe that you do appreciate such discussions and hope that you respect others’ opinions.
Regardless of what you might think of my opinions, I can promise you I am reasonable person and I do listen and I truly enjoy hearing other people’s points of view, as long as it consists of more than ‘you don’t get it’ et cetera.
My question is if you have watched the video that pek posted from Jordan Peterson and if not whether you would be willing to or not? I am completely willing to watch any video that you may think I would benefit from watching.
Here is the link for ease:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did they even reply?
I watched it. I've heard him say much of this in other videos, but always enjoy it when someone can analyse something academically. It beats all that wishy-washy stuff we constantly hear.
Also watched that other link you posted, and came across this one in the recommendations which I think is more relevant as it's about police brutality:

when coronavirus gets into the million of deaths like flu does EVERY YEAR then I would be proven wrong until then we will destroy economies, force people with serious illnesses to die because their treatment is stopped and reprioritized .....
given all these tens if not hundreds of thousands of people around the world have flouted lockout laws for these parades protests and riots, I am expecting the death rate to go up massively, but it won't.
Your voice won't be so condescending then
