  1. Simon, have you read, "The Case of Colonialism" by Bruce Gilley? It was first published by the The World Quarterly, in 2017. Its now available free online. In this paper he highlights the benefits of colonialism to those who were colonised. Now, some people might disagree with this, and claim there are no benefits to Colonialism. This sounds like a good subject for debate, but no ! Within minutes of its appearance, half the journals editorial board resigned in protest while The World Quarterly, was issued with death threats at its London office. This is yet another example of the attack on free speech in this country. If anyone disagree with this paper, debate it, and prove the authour wrong. But the fact that it wasn't debated, but anyone associated threatened with death, just shows perhaps colonialism wasn't as bad as some claim and that Gilley has a point.

  2. @ian x My pleasure Ian, and yes I did try to correct my comment, but for some reason it wouldnt let me? Professor Gilley also has a book out called 'The last Imperialist' about Sir Alan Burns epic defense of the British Empire as a force for good in the world. No doubt, this will also be castigated by the history revising Marxists. But with all the death threats, Gilley must have really upset them, they don't like the truth !
