      The important thing about the British museum is that we were racing the rest of European nations, have you seen the Egyptian section of the Louvre?

      The Germans seem to be doing better at it:

      Same goes for the British Empire, In Africa & India there were alternatives, the Dutch, French & Germans were already there and armed. We just managed to bribe the right officials and take over.

      Makes me laugh when everyone blames the British for being a colony, just imagine if it had been Belgium which was a real possibility. just see how well they did with the Congo & Rwanda!



      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        The Belgian Congo is, of course, Our Fault since we invented Belgium in the Treaty of London 1839.

          It appears the British Museum has triggered a few.
          Maybe we should send all the stuff back to where it came from, or a museum in Rwanda.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
