My my whose got a lot of History books. I think its safe to say that your ENGLISH skills far outshine Johnjo's, i cant argue about that.
Anyone with the slightest interest British History will agree, (if honest)that Britain, whilst amassing a huge empire, didnt really do things "by the book" or with much consideration for the Nations it divided. Infact as a nation we have alot of things to be ashamed about. My only defence, with the exception of the incidents in the 20 century, could be that, times were very different back then. The world was a different place and rightly or wrongly, there to be conquered. I dont hear anyone disrespecting the Italians because the Romans conquered most of Europe. It was for want of a better phrase, 'the way of the world'.
The difference is that today the world is supposed to be a little more civilised. Its not a question of whether or not our History as a country is right or wrong, but merely the fact we have it. Unlike yours, who are so short on history you are desperate to make it. My greatest annoyance today is why our Ex Prime Minister, was so obsessed in holding on to your coat tails amidst the chaos.
England as a nation was and still is far from perfect, but we do have History and we do have Heritage.
So far you have given us, MacDonalds, Gangster rap and Crack Cocaine.( There is a bigger list) Give your self a round of applause, theres a lot to be proud of. Nice teeth though!!
