    It's full of choice quotes like "I do not admit ... for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place"

      I was fully expecting the "Chemical weapons in Iraq" one to be "I met a young man called Saddam Hussein in Iraq, who will surely hide chemical weapons from UN inspectors in 40 years or so".

      The uk has sewage in its water supply and is unable to manufacture its own steel. Their healthcare system is being sold to americans. Instead of tackling growing child poverty it spends money on pampering an inbred family of germans and fervently supporting a genocide military in the middle east. The only thing it "contributes" to the world is offering money laundering services in London and even then the americans, dutch, irish and swiss could probably do it better than them. Their national cuisine consists of barely edible garbage despite having plundered the world of resources. Their national museum is full of stolen artifacts, highlighting the anglo inability to produce their own culture and their wretched thieving nature.

      That quote is disgusting but I think when push comes to shove you could get a lot of americans to agree with it.
