Doesn't seem very British to me.

I say, old chap, speaking as a person from a former outpost of Empire, being British has little to do with race, religon or language.

There is a greater chance of the first 13 states deciding to rejoin the Brits than Spain getting the Rock back.

You don't have to like it, but you do have to live with it.

Mmm, I can just taste the revanchism.

Seriously, if all European countries were allowed to press border claims that are three hundred years old against each other, how long do you think the current peace in Europe would last?

Before or after they slaughter most of the population in Europe?

The filthy little thieves. We hates them.

If Spain can get back Gibraltar, we want back Terra Scania. And Schleswig-Holstein now we are at it.

Both of those have been been Danish longer than Gibraltar has been Spanish.

Clearly a strong force of Kaiten and Shinyo will be the key to Danish domination of the Baltic and total victory in its campaign to reclaim its lost possessions.... well at least that wouldn't fail any worse then anything else.

Though, who really wants Schleswig-Holstein, anyway?

Yes, that's precisely the way two EU nations are expected to solve their differences.

Yes, Britian would never fight an actual WAR over some pissant worthless piece of ground.... like say, the Falkland Islands for example.

Yeah, it's not like they're communist. Now THAT would be worth going to war over.

That wasn't fought over land but over British citizens.

Personally I'm all for a declaration of war on Denmark in order to confirm our rightful claim to that mightiest of islands, Rockall.

Come get some. We ruled you once and by Knud we can do it again.

Rockall is ours! Just like Hans Island is. Your filthy Commonwealth scum just stay at home and let us come take you as trælle.
You would be much better off being ruled by proper Vikings instead of the pansy wanna-bes who conquered you.

And to all the inferior Germans and Swedes:

Schleswig-Holstein should be Danish, the inhabitants opinion be damed. As I said, If Spain gets Gibraltar, we want back Schleswig-Holstein. Its only fair.

And as for Terra Scania. As soon as they see the glory that is Denmark theyll secede from Sweden. Just give em 30 years or so.

Being Swedish for so long have dulled their senses.

Rockall is ours and ever shall it remain so, hell Greenpeace has a better claim to it than you guys.

Rockall or death!!!

In my opinion we should have taken Iceland, Greenland and the Faroes off you guys after the Napoleonic wars (that will teach you to side against The Empire) but I guess giving Norway to Sweden got the point across.

Dont forget pilfering our fleet (thieves!) and bombarding Copenhagen with Congreve rockets.

The first time an Evil Empire used "cruise" missiles on an "innocent" target.

And Rockall will be your doom when ravening Viking invades Rockall. All 625 m2 of it.

Since being liberated by the Danes turned out to be even worse than being occupied by the Swedes you shouldn't hope to much. Let that be a lesson to you, you bo not paractice scorched earth policys when you are supposed to be the good guys!

Öh yeah sorry about killing all those nobles and clergy in 1520. Our bad.

But at least you got back at us in 1658. With the help of German mercenaries. Boo hiss.
