Great Britain has become Little Britain

a reply to: RussianTroll

You reject the data of international economic organizations that you control yourselves. The entire civilized world has long been calculating GDP by PPP, I had many topics on our forum on this topic with all the links. Alas, these are typical signs of degradation and disintegration of the Western world order)))

The many topics you've posted are to try to skew and hide the state of the Russian economy, with your record high 21% interest rate and over spending on it's military budget.


Make Russia Small again.

Well that was a nothing answer wasn't it.

So, despite being the fifth largest global economy and a nation that everyone wants as an ally for arguments sake we accept that the UK is now an irrelevance - Little Britain for want of a better word.

Why your obsession?

And wasn't it you who not long ago authored a thread where you were trying to convince everyone that the UK was the ultimate power behind the scenes, pulling all the strings and dictating US/Western policy?

Surely you'll agree we can't be both an irrelevance and 'fourth world country'?

Which in turn leads me to ask, we're you wrong and/or lying then or are you wrong and/or lying now?

I am leaving the discussion, as many of my messages, responses to comments, have been deleted for various reasons. Show me at least one post that was "on topic!" But they are not deleted. ATS is degrading and is no longer a forum with freedom of thought and speech. ALAS! They want to squeeze me out of ATS, I can leave. Will Western society become freer, or will it become closer to a communist dictatorship? Let everyone answer this simple question for themselves.

My post was on topic...

and poignant...

Kedmi needs to do some research into the prefix 'Great'.

Great Britain was originally called ‘great’ in the sense of ‘greater’ to distinguish it from ‘lesser’ (ie ‘smaller’), or Little Britain’ – Brittany in what is now France – not because its people are in any way superior, or the place much, much nicer than anywhere else.
. . .
Ptolemy . . . also referred to Ireland as Little Britain.

Inaccuracies on such a basic level are not what I would expect from him or yourself.

Most Western nations are democracies, in one form or another, and nothing reminiscent of communist dictatorships.

That's a just a fact.

And you are running for the hills and abandoning your thread because you know you are wrong.

Call it what it is!

And have some responsibility ffs.
