| @Zephos: Absolutely loads to be proud of. Most of the world speaking English, using codes of law and government handed down by the British, industrial expertise, scientific knowledge, diplomacy, modern economics. Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand are all rich prosperous countries now thanks to the British. I could go on, but it seems most people want to focus only of the negatives of the British Empire rather than acknowledge the positives. |
