  1.  @imperialstrategies6065  You don't accept the idea of self-determination, then? Why not simply ask the Gibraltarians about how they view the issue? Then you might buy a book, and look up Ceuta, perhaps?

  2.  @thespartan8476  No. Turkey refused to accept the idea of the union of Cyprus with Greece.

  3.  @desmondchia6316  Presumably, you don't accept that the rights and welfare of the inhabitants of the islands matter at all, simply because they are of British origin?

  4.  @imperialstrategies6065  Now I understand why you haven't addressed my post about self-determination. You haven't got a coherent answer. Thank you for clarifying the matter.

  5.  @imperialstrategies6065  I thought I referred to self determination? You don't seem to have addressed the issue at all.

  6.  @neko1533  'Isn‘t Scottland being a part of UK the result of England invading that neighbour country and occupying it for centuries?' No. It is because a King of Scotland, James VI, became King of England, as James I, after the death of Elizabeth I. You cannot possibly be as ignorant as you pretend. The first Normans to land in Ireland did so as a result of an invitation from an Irish king. The only British invasion of France that I can recall was in 1944, when British, Canadian, & US troops landed there to liberate France from German occupation. The bodies of 22,442 British servicemen who died in the liberation are still there.

  9.  @NoName-hg6cc  The population of France in 1700 has been estimated at 19.7 million. That of England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland at the same time at 5 million. There was never any possibility of invasion. The English/British were, however, determined that one European power would become over-dominant, and supported weaker ones against France, whether it be the France of Louis XIV or of Bonaparte. The English/British were concerned to maintain a European balance of power. After the unification of Germany, the focus changed from France to Imperial Germany.

  10. Some 98% of the inhabitants of the Falklands woted for the status quo. Why is support for self-determination seen as support for colonialism?

  11.  @Damien_Mctyline  'Do you still believe the Essence of original China still exists in ROC other than Taiwan.' I wonder when I wrote anything which suggested what I thought or didn't think about mainland China? Perhaps you could show me where I made any comment at all on the subject?

  12.  @NoName-hg6cc  The 100 Years; War was not a conflict between two Nation States, but a series of dynastic disputes between different aristocratic families, over possessions which they owned, or claimed, in France.

  13. Presumably, you do not accept the concept of 'self-determination' where the inhabitants of the Falklands are concerned?
