@Blue You think that the Queen had any involvement in 'colonisation?' Indeed, have you any idea of what colonialism actually involved? I assume you are from the United States? If European settlers had never reached the Americas, what would the New World have looked like today? A largely agrarian land, sparsely occupied by peoples with a neolithic level of culture, science, and society. I assume you benefit from the results of the colonialism you affect to detest? You are clearly a hypocrite. Or perhaps simply an ignoramus?

Much like much of the British media, particularly the BBC.

@Blue You do realise that, alone of any imperial or former imperial power, Britain alone gave independence to former colonies, and retains to this day friendly relations with them. Tell mev any other power which has accomplished this. At the same time, you might perhaps explain what the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and most of Africa would have been like without the arrival of western settlers. Are you a fan of the stone age way of life?

@Blue Your ignorance is astounding. Where were cultures destroyed, other perhaps than human sacrifice in places like Benin, and Suttee in India? What makes you think that a country with a population of 10.1 million (1801 Census) already at war with the largest military power in Europe, was able, militarily, to invade and conquer a place like India, with a population of around 150 million? By the time of the Raj, around 25,000 British administrators administerered an Indian population which had grown to almost 200 million. How did the evil British manage that without the support of a vast, Indian, civil service and the consent of the existing Indian States? As to the Americas, New Zealand, Australia, and most of Africa, as western settlers in the 17-19th centuries found them in the same sort of condition that Europe had been in in around 4000 B.C., the peoples there hadn't made much progress on their own. What makes you believe that they would have made sudden startling advances? The fact is, the progress they made is due almost entirely to western science, philosophy, engineering, education, and law. Are you actually a troll? You really cannot be as stupid as you pretend?

@deadboltzz5199 What might that have been? I thought it was on the principle of 'No taxation without representation?' Are you saying it was for another reason?

@Blue You continue to demonstrate your ignorance of history.

@michelebourke4340 Have you ever considered writing your posts in coherent English?

It is exactly the same in the UK. This is what happens when the left secure control of the education system, and replace it with an indoctrination system.

@Blue 'of course you think like that.' Sorry, old chap but I really don't need a half-wit like you to attempt to tell me how I feel or don't feel.

@michelebourke4340 I would give you a reasoned reply, but it is evident that you are so profoundly ignorant of history that it would be akin to trying to teach my cat to play chess.
