And again you have completely twisted my words and obvious meaning. We (UK) are not the ‘natural owners’ of these territories, nor have I suggested or implied that.
Your twisting of the truth renders your credibility as close to worthless. I sincerely regret that.

As Mick has requested, we all need to calm down a bit. Please no more "my credibility is worthless" remarks? I may well be but it does not help the debate
Yes I am real but the isn't the point here. What I trying (and failing) to say is that some of the people who voted Leave did so in the belief, mistaken in my opinion, that the UK's role & place in the world is larger than it patently is. This, I believe, comes from the days when the UK did indeed have an Empire and we had a "natural" right to position & power due to our imperial past.
I was pointing out the irony in seeing no problem with retaining these "relics" of Empire.
Anyway, let's drop this as we can agree to differ?
Happy New Year to you!
