Message: [QUOTE="SpanRmonka, post: 7350960, member: 429759"] You can react to these things in any way you wish. I have no invested interest in British colonial past, and know very little about the Falklands, as I was a kid when it was happening. As a general rule I disagree with the vast majority of what we as a nation did historically, and its awful that your family has lost people due to the conflict. Just to be clear, I did not do this, I did not sanction or agree with or vote for it. If you want respect here, from me, in the present time you still have to earn it. Which for me you are not doing by bringing up a 40 year old conflict simply because I'm English. You can disagree with my view of what happened on a football pitch, but do not connect me in with things that happened a long time ago that I had nothing to do with barring being born in a country that was involved!
