Seeing that African countries seem to be basket cases with people looking to do anything to escape, I ask the question.
Were they better off under colonial rule |  |

We didn't do so well in India if you read up on the famines that occurred under British rule with tens of millions starved to death. Having said that, we did help them build railways so it kinds of evens things out for me. |
British forces helped Japan build a railway and fck me we haven't heard the end of it. |  |

The Japs would rather "forget" about that one. |  |

If the British empire was such a bad thing , how come many, many countries around the world love being part of the British commonwealth ?. [Post edited 29 Aug 2015 10:33]

I do believe that out of the Colonial countries we were about the best and the worst the Belgians followed by the French.

The Romans killed queen Boudicca, do the Italians feel guilty about that ? I doubt it. Oh and I think the British did more good than bad in these countries. |  |

Given the respective strengths of the UK and German economies, would we have been better off by losing one of the world wars? |  |

It would undoubtedly be better if African countries were drawn along tribal lines not colonial ones.
Should have been left to sort their own borders. Same goes for the Middle East. |  |

Yet again the right-wing loonies show their true colors,
Supposedly in favor of freedom and small government yet quite happy to defend colonial rule (along with the death penalty and imp[erialist wars). | |

So only right wingers are loonies.
Interesting methods of death these days in the socialist republic of North Korea.
Lefties clearly selective readers.
If they disagree, assume the moral high ground and insult those who disagree. | |

Mods, you've deleted my posts where I factually pointed out what Britain was doing to Kenyans as recently as the 1960's.
It's ok for people to defend and even celebrate that kind of depravity in the name of the British Empire but it's not ok for me to accurately mention the things they did? Really?
You let people post the most obnoxious racist, homophobic sexist bile on here, which is fine. But I can't say what our colonial police did in our name?
Someone's got their priorities a bit mixed up. | | | |

To be fair there are a number of left wing loonies on here too. Not me of course. I'm beyond reproach. | |

Do you think cutting peoples bollocks off with pliers and shoving bottles of boiling water up women's fannies is good? Or bad? | | | |

FFS. I was hardly bringing anybody's actual wives into it. I've no idea or interest in whether dgt has a wife or not.
The Kenyan women who had that done to them were wives, and daughters,and mothers.
I simply asked someone who has shown indifference to those crimes whether they'd like it done to their family members.

It took me 50 yrs to realise I might not be right all the time.
We all bullshite but look in the mirror and the truth, which is humpy, you're morphing into a very unpleasant poster unable to avoid unpleasantness.
You also misquote or simply ignore posts you can't answer to.
I d have a rest now leave this thread alone.
British colonialist did bad things but as regards India, for example, speak to an Indian and you lol find they respect us for introducing many things to their country they stlll adhere to.
For bad, read about Leopold the murderious pig of a Belgian king. | |

Yeah. But let's acknowledge what we doing ourselves not very long ago. Of course, that's too hard for some people to stomach. | | | |
