Wheres Richard Blackwood? Its a disgrace

[Dr_Funk]

ok y did they put 3 irish people on the list of greatest britons??
bono - irish
bob geldof - irish
and in the case of james conolly i think its an insult to his memory to include him in this list as he wud not have chosen to be viewed as british ... being one of the men who proclaimed the irish republic in spite of britain

i think a bit more thought shud have been put into this


o and by the way ... DAVID BECKHAM?!?!?!
wat the f[h]uk did he ever do??
hes a slow, one footed pretty boy ... all he can do is kick frees!!

cmon!!

[pond life]

* Uri's not there....

[Morals]

Where's Norris McWhirter?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

they didnt have to be british just "made a significant impact on the british isles" or some rubbish. this "wah theres no black people" is crap too people voted in the list (and im sure some black people voted too) an thats what you get. democracy has always been a crap way to decide anything....

[Morals]

Are you suggesting we scrap democracy all together and live in a totalinarianist state run by a mad dictator with stupid, over-gelled hair and a dodgy 'tash?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

yes.

[Tall Pall]

lol no black "great" britains. I shouldnt think anyone is gona cry over this little pole. I expect they are going to may more attnetion to Mr Dions next pole than they are to this.

Lets not forget the public are stupid, thats why we have educated people voted in by the public to run the country. You see, democracy does work.

[Uglybob]

can anyone actually come up with a Great Black Britain thats not a pisstake like Richard Blackwood.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

lennox lewis could have been there.

[Uglybob]

Canadian really
