  4.  @mmaximk  Your comment was not worthy of reply as it consisted of false assertions. The British Empire benefited its people in many ways. I think the criticisms are unfounded and based in resentment as all nations were imperialistic in nature, just not as successful. Let's look at the Irish - always blaming the English for developing Ireland, but marching around America like they have always lived there. Do the First Nation People enjoy having their noses rubbed in a St Patrick's Day Parade? There's even a museum in Dublin (Epic) celebrating Irish people taking over the lands of others and spreading Irish culture around the globe - of course this is a grand thing, because Irish people are 'quaint'.
