Are you sure? I thought we took it from the French?
The British did, I think, bring in the first permanent residents: Slaves.
Then we more-or-less buggered off leaving them to it after emancipation. Up until we diced we did have another use for it, so kicked off those who by this time were inhabitants for generations.
If the UK had decided to kick all the residents off of Jamaica in 1950 “because it used to be all ours” would we equally feel bad about handing it back?
apparently it was used as daytime landing spot for fishers etc. I meant empty as in not in permanent occupation.
Boris was not inducted for the health and safety requirements at JCB headquarters.
He wasn’t wearing a seat belt or wore a hard hat and steel capped boots.
No permanent residents until GB brought in slaves. Agreed.
But those slaves, who became free citizens, were there permanently for generations, up until they were kicked off.
To be fair…why would he need a hard hat?
For the seagull dive bombers and the poo.
Ooh look Franglais has made an attempt at humour, condescending,.sarcastic, but nevertheless humour.
6 out of 10 mate.
What you refer to was MY attempt at humour tbf.
What I sure as hell do NOT exaggerate about though is my opinion of you…100% valid I would say.
You think that your opinion is correct?
In would be worried for your sanity if it was otherwise
I thought we had already established that Franglais was an expert on both the farmers & ‘fishers’ ( 
what a tool), more so than those that work in those industries on a daily basis.
You verify it every time you post mate.
more lies from starmer… remember how he said that our energy bills would be 300 pounds cheaper and he had a plan that he would implement from day one by setting up great britain energy company. well turns out he has set up the company however the ceo Juergen Maier has said it will be 20 years before that happens… oh and how will he do it… well it will be cheaper than it would of been if we didnt set up this company. Never mind eh we have all those thousands of jobs to look forward to in the north. Oh wait there might be 200-300 in 5 years time if we are lucky. it will produce 1000’s but not for 20 years.
if you want to know what this bloke is like here are a couple of his tweets…
if you read the second one ill give you one guess how he got the job from starmer.
When was this bit of news released so everyone has a fair chance of hearing about it was it the 1pm news..or the 6 pm or the 9 pm or even the breakfast time news nope it was released at 4:40am.
typical starmer only way he can have sex is on his back because all he can do is f up
Read your own link…
Or do you think that “Broadband speeds up to 10M” are really “Broadband speeds guaranteed to be 10M”
So? In plenty of time for all the morning news shows.
I wouldn’t worry about energy or bills mate, the manic moron Miliband has the problem all boxed off for us with his brilliant ‘Net Zero’ scheme.
Come back Boris ALL is forgiven.
Another 4 YEARS of this lot btw.
…and now we are back in the EU in all but name, and without any say.
Incidentally with this new ‘‘fantastic deal’’ …does this mean we are now paying money out to Brussells again for the privilege of abiding by their rules?
If so how much exactly?
I’m sure our political correspondent will be all over it.
What is wrong with the following then?
What is wrong with this project?
"to invest in making the UK a global leader in green technologies.
The plan focuses on increasing ambition in the following areas:
The ten point plan will mobilise £12 billion of government investment, and potentially 3 times as much from the private sector, to create and support up to 250,000 green jobs."
The fact that I do not trust the Labour Party and that I think that Milliband is a complete d1ck is good enough for starters.
But mostly the same situation as the farmers and the ‘‘fishers’’ …
Anybody who is directly involved in this stuff and who know what they are talking about says it is bad for the country, so again…
Who’s word am I going to take The Labour party, it’s useful idiots and Miliband..
Or
Those in the know.
Take a guess.
Like you take the word of climate scientists and virologists?
You listen to, and repeat the views of politicians who are in the pocket of oil companies about climate change, not the 99% of scientists who are not paid by oil., about climate change.
You listened to and repeated the views of big industrialists about Covid who wanted workers in closed factories, whilst they were on islands, rather than the Drs in the front line in hospitals.
If you do not trust Labour why not trust the experts in climate change?
Why not trust Johnson? The previous green plan was from his Gov in 2020.
Don’t you of all people dare to make assumptions about me just to make your point you supercillious knob.
What I did say is I listen to those in the aporopriate professions rather than politicians and their yes men like you…hence my views on the farmers and the fisherMEN.
A opencast mine in Whitehaven rich in coal resources which could have fuelled a power ststion curtentlly importing coal, and created numerous jobs in the area enriching the local economy was stopped because of Mad Milliband, and the claim by politicians of your colour that it was the ‘‘wrong type of coal’’…it was in fact a lie.
The way I see it rightly or wrongly,.that if that moron Milliband has his way we will all be breathing.clean air, but virtually living in the stone age..
…aah Covid your other obsession and area of expertise.
No.I looked around me at the empty emergency field hospitals,.and fit peopke like myself coping as normal,.whilst unhealthy people with other issues died after getting it, instead of stepping over bodues in the street for a bad flu epidemic…and made my own mind up…
Whilst you were cancelling your Christnas sat at home in your mask,.and presumably grassing up your neighbours like a good servile citizen.
Apart from all that the fact that YOU and people like you are on board with all this crap,.tells me it aint entirely legit.
is it still running?? they recently closed down a power station that ran on gas because it cost too much to import the gas from else where. dispite there being a gas field 20 miles away
