Never felt comfortable with that word as used.

It does seem appropriate when used about AssGoo.

Most modern Germans, like most modern Brits, are ashamed of what our ancestors did. We can't change what they did, but we should learn from this to ensure that it doesn't happen again in our names. There are still germans today, as there are Brits today, who are right wing nationalists that deny that what their ancestors did was wrong because they believe that they are superior to other certain nationalities. You are, I'm afraid, showing traits of nationalism.

I'm sorry I missed the bit about gassing millions in UK history, we did do a bit of witchfinding at the Catholics request but nowhere near the Inquisition or genocide in Mexico. I did see some natural famines that the British attempted to alleviate its in the official documents but being a NoBrainer you won't read them.

I see feckwits trying to equate British Concentration camps (an idea we got from the US, Australians New Zealanders and Spanish where people were kept out of the fight by internment) with German Extermination camps where people were turned into corpses in their millions by Zyklon B.

I recognise our ancestors were brutal and exploited the natives but again I stress they didn't murder them en masse because that was bad for business, killing natives meant there was no one to tend the fields.

Do please identify a country the UK caused death intentionally on the same scale as the Germans or Japanese. Do supply your sources, make sure they are supported by legal documents not some axe grinding nutter's opinion.

Note naturally caused famines where the British attempted to alleviate the situation don't count. So that lets us off the Irish Potato famine where we tried to supply grain. The Indian famine in the war where Churchill supplied so much grain via lethal shipping lanes risking the war effort and British lives that there was enough for everyone to eat but corrupt locals stockpiled it, that was why Churchill was upset.

Don't try to reason with these Untermensch.

Oh.... wait....

FTFY that's how your mates used to refer to people they disliked and frequently killed.

Sorry I know you are proud to live in the Despots favourite Banking country they mostly weren't helping the Nazi's by sending them Jews or other sub-humans or exterminating them like the Polish, Hungarians,French,Italians, Spanish just bankrolling the process.

For, if Professor Ziegler's assertion is correct, that the war should have ended in 1943, some of its worst episodes in terms of the loss of civilian and military life would have been avoided. No resistance against the push from the Red Army in the East, no dogged defence in Italy, no V1 and V2 raids, no carpet bombing of German cities - above all, no smoke pouring out of the chimneys at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka and the other extermination camps, as the Final Solution reached its height.

So though I should hang my head in shame living the UK with its made up colonial past you lot keep banging on about, I didn't consciously decide to move to a country made rich by buying the bargain basement Jewish gold the Nazi's stole before killing them.

Curious how British fascist groups are pro Brexit.

yeah wrong as usual it seems to be across the political spectrum.

TUC meeting supports 'People's Brexit'

A well attended TUC fringe meeting in Manchester heard the case for a 'People's Brexit' on Tuesday evening.

This is now a social crisis of the first order. Every institution of the British establishment backed Remain. The Tory party, despite professions of unity, is beginning an internal war. ‘It’s a hammer blow to Cameron’, reported the BBC this morning. Osborne is already talked of in the past tense.

guess what I'm replying to a post that is clearly uneducated and complete bollux, not surprised the poster is old smeg.

Timeline of major famines in India during British rule - Wikipedia

ah of course its made up

At least 55.1 million people may have died in famines during British rule, which was around 17% of entire population.

Of course it seems there is no balance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine_in_India

The Tughlaq Dynasty under Muhammad bin Tughluq held power during the famine centered on Delhi in 1335–42. The sultanate offered no relief to the starving residents of Delhi during this famine.[15] Pre-colonial famines in the Deccan included the Damajipant famine of 1460 and the famines starting in 1520 and 1629. The Damajipant famine is said to have caused ruin both in the northern and southern parts of the Deccan.[14] The 1629-32 famine in the Deccan and Gujarat, was one of the greatest in India's history.[16] In the first 10 months of 1631 an estimated 3 million perished in Gujarat and one million in the Deccan. Eventually the famine killed not only the poor but the rich as well.[16] More famines hit the Deccan in 1655, 1682 and 1884. Another famine in 1702–1704 killed over two million people.[16] The oldest famine in Deccan with local documentation sufficiently well-preserved for analytical study is the Doji bara famine of 1791-92.[14]

so it seems it was a fairly common occurrence and death figures in the millions were common. Prior to British rule there was little done to cut the death toll. However after our folly in the first famine.

The first, the Bengal famine of 1770, is estimated to have taken the lives of nearly one-third of the population of the region—about 10 million people.[25] The impact of the famine caused East India Company revenues from Bengal to decline to £174,300 in 1770–71. The stock price of the East India Company fell sharply as a result. The company was forced to obtain a loan of £1 million from the Bank of England to fund the annual military budget of between £60,000–1 million.

Again I point out mass deaths were bad for business. The East India company were horrified and made a loss, that is probably why the expended a lot of effort to reduce deaths.

of course it does seem it was endemic.

Tirthankar Roy suggests that the famines were due to environmental factors and inherent in India's ecology.^{[fn 6][fn 7]} Roy argues that massive investments in agriculture were required to break India's stagnation, however these were not forthcoming owing to scarcity of water, poor quality of soil and livestock and a poorly developed input market which guaranteed that investments in agriculture were extremely risky.^[36] After 1947, India focused on institutional reforms to agriculture however even this failed to break the pattern of stagnation. It wasn't until the 1970s when there was massive public investment in agriculture that India became free of famine,^[37] although Roy is of the opinion that improvements in the market efficiency did contribute to the alleviation of weather-induced famines after 1900, an exception to which is the Bengal famine of 1943.^{[38][full citation needed]}

So it happened prior to the British and after our departure but we get the blame. The sweet smell of desperation.

Hey we get rid of the EU & you ! Most people will see that as a positive outcome.

I'm just enjoying dispelling the desperate attempts to smear British history because you want to cosy up to our european cousins.

How do you operate in society? There is nothing about your post that contradicts my statement: 'Curious how British fascist groups are pro Brexit.'

I didn't say that it is exclusively British fascists that are pro Brexit. Nor did I say that there are no left wingers who are pro Brexit.

So in what way does your statement about pro Brexit left wingers support your evaluation that my statement about British fascists is 'wrong'?
