    sorry its just the UK that had an Empire wasn't it? Only us its not as if our neighbours or even those that joined our Empire ever did anything like that is it?


    If you really want a great post Empire feeling then pray you get the French, Belgians or Germans as your Imperial power then you will really feel the benefit.

    Everyone was at it, ours was at times mild in comparison

    It's time for France to face its past and debate crimes against humanity

    Don't forget the Romans, Alexander & the Hun. They were real charmers.

    While you are in sack cloth remember we bought the slaves of someone & succeeded in dividing the warring tribes in most states to win with significantly inferior numbers.

    In living memory we have tried to atone for a our sins & become a global policeman with the US and to a lesser extent other world nations.

    We were told before we voted out that the EU was solely responsible for 40 years peace by pro EU sources.
    This of course is Bollox, quite frankly Morecambe & Wise did more.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Why do some British people insist on deflection when we are talking about the British Empire?

      Shall I put it to you simply?

      He is talking about you researching the British Empire not any other empire.

        More whataboutism.

        How about you get that chip off your shoulder?

        And to bring it back on topic, how do those arm sales to Saudi Arabia fit in with your rose-tinted view of Britain as the peacemakers?

        (By the way, the EU being responsible for peace within Europe is partly due to the UK (Churchill) recognising that this was the best way. The UK, being within and a part of the EU, helped to make this happen)

          Exactly I wasn't saying that others didn't also have empires and didn't obtain them in the same violent way. I was saying either that we didn't leave our colonial countries in a better state than others (think Belgium and Rwanda) but was correcting the dimwit who is so delusional to think we are a peace loving country and all the other foreigners are the baddies.
