The British have invaded at one time 171 of the 193 countries in the world. What a damaging legacy for the human race. There is no better monoment to their shamelessness and malign influence than the continued existence of the British Museum, the largest warehouse of stolen goods in the world.
The British Empire does indeed have a poor track record in the history books ( to say the very least ) and they mostly left the colonised countries they cut loose, to deal with the Empires' mess. But it is history. Now the problem is the Amerikan Empire.
History can provide context but I don't think it offers any solutions to our current problems.
I agree, but note I was replying to Susan T who noted the role of the British in the present quagmire that is the ME. I was simply providing more context.
Agree, George. I always wondered what gave the Bastard Brits the right to dig up the tombs of the ancient Kings of Egypt. Who the fuck thinks they can desecrate the deceased?

In my Ninth edition of Encyclopedia Britannica ~ 1890, it is not really accepted that blacks are human. See entry under Negro.
