Apart from the abolition of slavery, the common law, Westminster democracy, the steam engine, Protestantism, mechanized agriculture, the English language, the exposure of foreign cultures, the public health system, the welfare state, and the constitutional monarchy....
What have the British ever done for us?
Colonialism, slavery, stealing the wealth of third world countries, Genocide, perverting historical records to hide their crimes.
Old negative nancy.
You do realise that life was extremely different back then don't you?
All of these things you mention, as well as all the good....such as men and women fighting for your freedom, our once brilliant manufacturing, our hard work to turn this country into a place that is pretty well the best country to live in and it all came together from what happened yesterday.
If you went back to that time with your mindset now.....you'd be hung, high!
Get your pity belt off and throw on the pride belt. If your not proud of your country then get on the next transport provider out of this place and leave it to the people who love it.
