How "Great is GB in the eyes of the World now?

I marched in 2003 with my whole family against that war as did two million other British people.

We’re now in a situation today where we’ve been entirely vindicated and it’s been proved that the lives of half a million Iraqis did not have been taken in such a way.

I think about the death of Dr Kelly and I think about Robin Cook’s resignation speech – I was in tears watching it the other day because these people predicted what would happen.

I think we’re in a worse place than we were in 2003. We now have countries which are entirely destabilised. We’ve got the worst reputation in the world – us and America are now seen as tyrants. It makes me ashamed to be a member of this country.

It does make me ashamed.

The 'Great' British have ballsed up the world for centuries. Ireland, India/Pakistan/Bangladesh, Palestine/Israel, Cyprus, several African States - need I go on? Iraq and Afghanistan are but the latest examples of our fantastic statesmanship on the world stage.

Whilst I agree with you both especially on Iraq I think also the French,Dutch, Germans, Russians, Cubans and Chinese did their fair share of colonising. As for us Brits we certainly made a pigs ear of Cyprus.
