Get the British Food mug.A godly race of people. Show up early on or on time for every war. WON WORLD WAR II I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW!!!! Not all toffs and full on tories as stereotypically thought. The majority quite rightly detest the French. Owned a third of the world back in the day until the French decided to be a bit pussy leading us to have to sell off our empire. Have the most interesting history out of all world nations. Hate George Bush but love Obama. Memorably critices any government that happens to come to power. Best sense of humour. World's best slang. World's most famous sporting nation. Need I say more about the divinity of the British race?
e.g. 1
French person: (chatting in some shit language) Sacrebleux the British pigs
British person: Mate, we fucking bailed you out of world war II. You are an ungrateful cunt.
e.g. 2
Some random American prick (granted most Americans are decent people): We own at everything, the world is a douche.
British citizen: Showing up late for every war ... Need I digress?

British Israelism (sometimes called Anglo-Israelism) is a Christian theology essentially based on the premise, that most ancient British people, Europeans and/or their royal families were direct lineal descendants of some of the Lost Tribes of Israel and in many cases also of the Tribe of Judah.
British Israelism states that large numbers of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were deported by Sargon II, king of Assyria, on the fall of Samaria in 721 BC, eventually migrating to Northern Europe, the British Isles, and with European colonization eventually North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and elsewhere around the globe.
Many early legends abound in ancient British folklore suggesting a link to the Holy Land. These include but are not limited to:
1) The story that Joseph of Arimathea (uncle of Jesus) traveled to Cornwall sometime after Christ's crucifixion and established an early Christian community.
2) Suggestions that the Stone of Scone might be Jacob's Pillar or Jacob's Pillow Stone.
3) Legends that the Israelite prophet Jeremiah may have been the "Olam Fadlah" of Celtic lore.
4) The legend that Tamar Tea Tephi the ancient matriarch of the Royal House may have been the daughter of Zedekiah king of Judah and that her sister Scota may have been the matriarch of the "Scots".
5) The legends of the Historia Regum Britanniae connecting Britain to the Mediteranian and Middle East and detailing early English genealogies.
6) The coming of Brutus of Troy (Britis) to Great Britain after the burning of Troy and his genealogy leading to the Israelite tribe of Benjamin.
7) The Matter of Britain detailing the Arthurian Legend.
8) The claims by Henry VIII to be descended from King Arthur, who legend has it was the eighth generation from Joseph of Aramathea.
9) The claim that St. Paul visited Britain.

The key component of British Israelism is their representation of the migrations of the Lost Tribes of Israel. They often suggest that the Behistun Inscription has provided an invaluable missing link. George Rawlinson, Sir Henry Rawlinson's younger brother, connected the Saka/Gimiri of the Behistun Inscription with deported Israelites: "We have reasonable grounds for regarding the Gimirri, or Cimmerians, who first appeared on the confines of Assyria and Media in the seventh century BC, and the Sacae of the Behistun Rock, nearly two centuries later, as identical with the Beth-Khumree of Samaria, or the Ten Tribes of the House of Israel."

Get the british mug.Our brothers from across the pond. They have funny accents and like to drink hot tea. Somewhat bitter about losing the American Revolution. Most Brits are extremely liberal like our sisters from up north (Canada). They don't take too kindly to our "rights to bear arms" and usually address the subject of Americans as "Bastards!" and/or "ignorant fools". They gave us The Beatles, The Office, "Charlie" from LOST and well Ozzy Osbourne. :)
EXAMPLE:
(Sharon's dog pees on the carpet)
OZZY: "Who pissed? Who pissed on my ***** ***** carpet!you f**** **(BEEP)**** ***(BEEP)***********(BEEP)***********."
British people: "I got a flat for let"
American: "WHAT?"
British people: "Sorry, I have an apartment that's for sale"

Are you part of the Solution or the Problem? Indymedia ireland
Lethal Allies a book on British Government Collusion in the sectarian murders of ordinary innocent Irish people in British Occupied Ireland is written by leading journalist Anne Callwallader and produced by the Pat Finucane centre focused on the ethnic cleansing of the Glenanne Gang which still operates in Ireland.
The book documents members of the British police and the British Army who were part of this gang which murdered hundreds of innocent people, particularly in the 1970s, operating primarily from loyalist farms in counties Armagh and Tyrone.
Yes we can trade different perspectives on the bloodletting of British Occupation and neo-colonialism in Ireland until we the cows come home but the solution is not on that path. If you are sincere about peace then you don't have to be particularly bright to see where the solution lies, it's not rocket science.
Internment without trial is an instrument of War not Peace.
