I'm not trying to deny history - all this colonialism did happen and it'd be pointless to deny that nothing bad happened. However, I would like to point out that several other nations, namely Portugal, Spain, Belgium and France ALL did exactly the same thing in other countries. If i remember correctly, the Belgians have a particularly nasty reputation for what they did in the Congo. So before u start bashing one nation in particular, remember that it isn't just the British. And no I'm not British myself, so I can claim a certain element of neutrality here.
