Surely blaming the British Empire for everybody's problems is a bit condescending toward those who live in former colonies?

Who would have thought it of the son of Blair. No doubt we will be apologising for Libya one day.

Oh let's get it over with: Sorry Libya, have now freshly minted money.

Get with the programme: It's All Our Fault.

I think it's unfair to blame 'Britain'. The British Empire was started by Elizabeth I, who was a Tudor. So it's actually the Welsh that caused all the problems. Bloody typical.
