Capitalism is not bad, people with weak morality are bad.

Aren't they usually the ones who do best in a capitalist society though?

That's what my money grabbing personal finance teacher told me...

Not at all, in fact its ironic that the moral in fact do queue well, they are just also not the loudest of the bunch. Plus, you normally hear about big things falling down.

If this happens, then shouldn't England be given back to Wales considering the Saxons threw them out?:

Hardly a comparable situation at all.
Do you still have vast tracts of unused "government owned land"?

tons, but it's usually rented out (cheaply) for grazing herds of livestock, designated as wilderness, national forests, national grasslands, etc., or just left alone.

That can be aplied to every country. Being in control now just means that in the past you had the biggest gun/sword/stick ..

We used or noggins and instead made nuclear warheads the power currency.

I hope for the day when kittens will be used instead. You can't fry the planet with them...

Not many nations have quite so much of it. Some people are asking for their land back... coincidence? unreasonable request? or deliberate policy.
and yet another german invasion
You probably didn't catch the coverage of their National Front rallies...French people chanting "Sieg Heil"...Who needs real Germans to invade when you have your own home grown loonies to scare the hell out of everyone.
Given that the very long term incumbent party had lost the peoples faith, they have 2 other choices, socialists or the completely f@@kin mad.
