@Bakers_Games @GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Maybe you havent tried cadburys in a a while, nevertheless it doesn't change the fact that you are paying for a product that is owned by an US company after the local shop takes its cut and local taxes are payed that money flows straight out of this country...

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 So you dont understand how ownership works? "Rockstar games" which is the owner of the subsidiary company "Rockstar North" which is based in scotland is also owned by https://t.co/pvPjZo9yRh

@Bakers_Games @GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 You know 90% of the things in britian aren't actually owned by us right? Cadburys chocolate is owned by US Mondelez International, ASDA the supermarket was owned by the American company Walmart from 1999 until 2021, walkers the crisps is owned by an American company "Pepsico"

@Bakers_Games @GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Yea thats kinda how ownership works "jaguar-land rover" is owned by an indian company, "mini" one for the most popular cars ever made in britian is owned by Germany i could go on and on.

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@RISE1252 @GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 its not independent from the American company in any shape or form the only reason its even a subsidiary company is for tax purposes, think of "Microsoft" they own xbox and xbox owns multiple game studios like "activision" which own "call of duty" think of it like russian dolls

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@RISE1252 @GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 No its an American company and its corporate headquarters is based in New york city, think of mcdonalds or KFC they have branches all over the world but you wouldn't call them british company's or british products.

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@RISE1252 @GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Rockstar was founded in New York in 1998 what your referring to is subsidiary company of rockstar games called "DMA" that hasnt existed since 2002, calling GTA a Scottish or british game would be like calling Land-rover a british car despite it being owned by india.

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@GameRoll_ @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 "Rockstar games" is legally an American company and has been since its founding in 1998.

@paddytoland @garrethmcdaid @Mcdanish4 There is no such thing as protestant schools in Northern Ireland, there is state ran schools and Catholic schools...

@scholesyno1 @racingfront This might seem bizarre to you but Acknowledging the current constitutional settlement doesnt make a person unionist, infact it would be rather strange if journalists just started acting like the territory they live in doesnt exist like nationalists by saying "nOrTh Of IrElaNd"

@Reunify32 @brianjohnspencr Not all protestants are orange men but all orange men are protestants...

@ukblok26 @Tim_Aker Latvian Riflemen numbering around 40,000 strong played a critical role within the Bolshevik (coup/revolution), i could turn your question around and ask how did france take part in the D-day, Italian campaign and the African campaign whilst under german occupation in ww2?

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@ukblok26 @Kat_Says_Stuff @Tim_Aker They were in the middle of world war 1 and the entire russian army had dissolved every historian on earth accepts that these were german puppet states and weren't legitimate countrys the Germans were also the ones who sent lenin to overthrow the czar.

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@ukblok26 @Kat_Says_Stuff @Tim_Aker I think you forget your own history my friend...

How many people were forcefully relocated to Australia, Canada, South africa on prison ships by the british government?, it is literally the same thing the Russians treat siberia the exact same way we treated Australia.

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@ukblok26 @Kat_Says_Stuff @Tim_Aker Ukraine was never a independent country in human history, it was created purely for local administration purposes it would be like the US collapsing and US states like California or new Mexico declaring independence despite never being countrys beforehand.

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@ukblok26 @Kat_Says_Stuff @Tim_Aker Your leaving out that the baltic states along with half of eastern Europe was under german occupation and were actually german puppet states after russian front collapsed during the revolution. https://t.co/EGmg2ATMXx

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@ukblok26 @Kat_Says_Stuff @Tim_Aker Ukraine is a prime example millions of ethnic Russians moved to Ukraine throughout the lifespan of both the USSR and the russian empire and once it collapsed in the 90's they found themselves outside their own country!

[Mark Couchman @couchman_mark]

@ukblok26 @Kat_Says_Stuff @Tim_Aker it was ethnic tensions that brought down the USSR countrys Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Georgia, Lithuania, Armenia, Belarus, Azerbaijan all had their own ethnic identities that brought it down and I dont even want to explain the "Stans"
