Homo Sapiens should be ashamed of the way they treated the Neanderthals.

The Danes should be ashamed of their ancestors treatment of the Britons.

The Iranians should be ashamed of the Persian invasion of Greece.

The Chinese should be ashamed of their treatment of South East Asia.

The Italians should be ashamed of the Roman treatment of the Carthaginians.

Native Mexicans should be ashamed of Aztec brutality in establishing their Empire.

The Khazakstan should be ashamed of the Mongol treatment of Europeans.

The Zulu should be ashamed of the treatment of surrounding tribes.

Polynesians and Melanesians should be ashamed of their ancestors treatment of each other and their cannibalism.

The only reason British colonialism can be singled out from other cultures is because they were better record keepers.

Should Britain be ash...


Headlined on the board - well - it already is in many ways these days... feminism, Islamism, everythingism rampant in the streets... increasing/escalating overcrowding and social division on all sides ..... weakened economy desperately trying to get by as a Banana Republic with no bananas but instead relying on never-ending increase in population at any cost to retain some form of economic 'growth' - steadily diluting everything in sight...

Britain is already ash.... it just hasn't been put into an urn yet..... when Der Tag comes and pandemic real disease arrives, the streets will be strewn with corpses and entire villages will be empty ghosts...  Bring Out Your Dead Ye Who Still Live!

Apart from that, the spirit or concept of Britain is long gone... a civilisation gone with the mind .... got me a fine Raj era hotel sorted out in Ind-ya - beautiful.... few days stay - travel a bit - few days stay then off to Kathmandu... then 'over the hump' to Tibet and China... with my itinerary the Chinese officials will be looking at my camera closely...

Buggar - love to drive Kathmandu to Lhasa and on - but they won't let you self-drive in Tibet... pacified zone that it is.... sure, sure.... you might see things you shouldn't ...

Should I get a white tropical suit and a big white hat?

NO

They left most countries in better shape than other colonials.

Yerush - look at Australia's Kooners - better fed than ever... and increasing in number - Tasmania, where they were wiped out in 1846, has a higher percentage of Kooner Klaimants than anywhere else in Australia.. man - that's a greater comeback than Bob Hope... better than Mohamed
Ali....better than poor little oppressed Communist China which the 'heads'; of the West thought they could assimilate using silver bullets and bribery by offering them industrial strength...

Now they're are building the international equivalent of autobahns and eisenbahns so they can move troops and equipment quickly anywhere in The New Empire to suppress revolt or insurrection or even a harsh word here or there...

Should give the Middle Eastern Muslims someone elee to give a caning to to take their minds off their own deeply tragic problems.... you know... that insurmountable divide between rich and poor, privileged and peasant, legal issues, the real status of women, the high infant mortality rate among the poor, the starving beggars, those who see jihad somewhere as their last resort to having any status or social standing, the religious divides that leave the Catholic/Protestant skirmishes a very very poor last...

England colonized a whole lot of countries changing their culture and made them British subjects....Now Britain is overrun by foreigners (British) and they are complaining about how Britain has been invaded....Talk about hypocrisy and the self inflicted irony of being the invader that was ultimately invaded!!!

Yes.

They scanned through families of convicts and elevated those who aligned with their filth and those that didn't they wrecked and ruined without compunction.

I am 9th and tenth generation.

They are a fading filth that needs to leave the surface for good.

I am amused by how all these virtue signallers pointing fingers at the British Empire and all its evil deeds are still happy to live in a country that was part of the empire and take advantage of all the benefits that entails.

If they had the courage of their convictions they would give all their property to the nearest aboriginal and head off somewhere far away from the evil empire.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Well said Issuevoter.

...but Britain is a good guy in some regions of the world, but a bad guy in other parts - it can't be good at everything, nor can every other nation... even the USA.  Wink

Well.. There were the Romans... Obsessive in record-keeping as modern-day Germans...

But what have the British done for us, anyway?

Colonialism ended prematurely.
