Oh, I agree.

In a civilised environment.

But trying to annex India when we're close to independence isn't civilised. They would have been beastly to the Mahatma, wouldn't play cricket and wouldn't have allowed Congress to build a system based on British parliamentary democracy.

Likewise, bombing Highbury isn't civilised.

This is why fascists - real fascists with tanks and bombs and death camps and stuff - need a good kicking. Not tinpot wannabes like Farrage or Trump.

Obv, I use the term fascist to include tankies. They also need a good kicking. All of them would have executed me for simply being me so fück the lot of them.
