Let's not do the "why don't you go to... Russia, Brazil thing'
It's pointless. It doesn't prove Great Britain or UK is great or not great.
There are individual things in other countries that are better than us and some that have atrocities beyond belief.

Eddie Waring was the greatest advert for RL because he was recognised as the face of the game and his popularity encompassed more than just the game.

He started by mis representing my post but at least I selected a warmer destination where he can still wear his Speedo trunks.

Don't agree at all. This is a fantastic country for all its faults and I think that before people denigrate it they should very much compare it to other nations.

Few countries if any have done more to create and more importantly defend freedom than our GREAT nation.

No, he clearly wasn't.

Correct, but it has gained that meaning over the years.

Again the astonishing arrogance, If people want to read the Guardian I don't think them sad, their chocr. Yet people step out of your narrow confines and you label them.

But then we can all see you've lost it again with your Vastman is a bully spit, seriously, if you can't play with the big boys and girls then don't.

I have been very widely travelled in my life I spent almost 9 years in the Merchant Navy 32 years in West Yorkshire Police and the United Nations Police, I worked in a strategic role for the UN and had my own entity working in parts of Africa, I have circumvented the globe numerous times and as you can imagine I have been far and wide.

I will give a great example of Great Britain, go to East Africa in some of the countries there and see how we are respected (not by all) even though we had a brutal way of dealing with subjects throughout the Empire. We left a good and bad everywhere but the most I see is education structures, governance although one would argue that many countries are very corrupt, Health infrastructure, in fact we left infrastructure everywhere the problem is in cases who it was handed over to it was too early or it couldn't be handled.

Now compare this to Central Africa where predominantly France and some other European Nations ruled and then have a think about our Nation. The UK is a great place the trouble is we now have a society who expect everything on a plate or cry wolf if not.

So Vasty I am with you on this one

Who the hell would take Farage seriously. The guy only wanted Brexit to happen to kick the immigrants out (including those who are in the NHS workforce). The man is a hateful xenophobe.

I watch GB News and I dont care what others think, I love the discussions and not just a news reader sitting there. When I see BBC journos asking why we haven't locked down yet it really put me off them. After servicing my country in RAF for 22 years I do think this country is great , although some won't be happy until they have brought it down

I say again where did I say you were and others like you are sad. I think you should look in the mirror before criticising others who don’t follow the world according to you. I don’t think what you post can be considered big boy stuff it’s just that you appear to have an opinion on everything. I note you have learnt one thing from GB News that is if anyone dare to criticise their beliefs suggests they don’t love the country. It is possible that they do, just not the state it is now or to be considered a patriot you must accept everything including the likes of Food Banks or do you consider these to be part of our great society.
I know one thing people like Farage do not help with our Great image but you like him so good for you I don’t.
I would suggest you stick to rugby posts because you are clearly out of your depth when it comes to the world outside your door.

You should know, he's a bit like you with the Prime minister and his Government then.

Talking of rugby posts, when was the last time you spoke anything just rugby related, instead of anti Government stuff engineered into rugby threads?

Have you noticed how the BBC when using any photographs in their headings always appear to be of Wakefield. This is just an observation and not a left wing plot to overthrow the country or make it less Great sorry Vastman.

I thought good old Chissitt would not be long in posting but to correct him I have posted on a likely person to cover the games on 4 and on my belief that Eddie Waring transcended his RL commentary to the benefit of the game unfortunately not accepted by Vastman but he is entitled to his opinion.
