What has Goa got to do with the implicit suggestion (by Mr K) that Leave voters haven't 'let the empire go'? It's the UK we're talking about.
And, by far the worst in your response, you have mischievously twisted my words. I said: "I hope you don’t mean the likes of the Falklands, Bermuda and Gibraltar, which are self-governing dependencies and in no way part of an Empire - Which we dropped in the period from 1948 through 1965." You said: 'You are denying that "we haven’t let the Empire go" and then, in the same breath, claiming that these locations are not related to Empire'. The two statements are not the same thing and you should do better than that.

You think we are the "natural owners" of land on the other side of the globe? Come on, really? Natural order will play out sooner or later. Gibraltar will return to Spain sooner than later. Brexit has seen to that.
You are claiming that Mr K's comment is wrong yet you subconsciously validate it. Delicious irony

That's fine but it is mine and more importantly my children's future these cretins are playing with.
