Subject: Facts?? what facts?
in response to your puerile and racist propaganda website.
the facts, as you put them are not facts at all. they are in fact the opinion of a miss guided fool.
firstly. you say the obvious choice for all the worlds problems is Britain. Why is this obvious? and how are WE solely responsible for the worlds problems?
prison camps were not invented by the British. Prisons, and detention centres have been used throughout history around the globe.
MAchine guns, wer einvented by an american who later moved to britain. His invention was used by most countries around the world.
All roads of suffering lead back to britain. Hardly! Of many empires around at the time (french, spannish, russian etc) ours was seen as the fairest. Certainly in India we were made quite welcome, and many indians CHOSE to come to britain, and adopt some of our ways of life. We in turn have adopted many of there's. Soap for example. Shampoo, veranda, bungalo and indian cuisine to name but a few of the many great things to come from India. It was a two way relationship..
Genocide. Yet another false take on history. The English did not round up the Scots and force them to be English, then kill the ones who refused. Nor did we do this with the welsh, who retain their language and heritage to this day. I my self am a celt, so i do know my history.
The taking of natural resources is rampant though out history. America carries on this tradition with the forcfull removal of oil, and diamonds from foreign countries. Iraq for example.
We did not simply leave nations without first ensuring a stable government and infrastructure. I would be interested (and surprised) if you could prove me wrong.
"Britain began making our lives worse through the introduction of machines in the workplace". So, can i take it you dont like machines in the workplace then? perhaps you think computers are bad too then? or the many machines that keep people alive in hospitals, or allow us to make materials for space exploration? Yes, the industrial revolution DID produce large amount of environmental damage. Something other developing nations repeat to this day. HOWEVER, American remains the single worst polluter on the planet and has done for decades. And is refusing to accept climate change, or to reduce carbon emisions and fossil fuels. In Britain we have strict guidlines and targets for this.
(evil machines we invented include : cars, trains, buses, planes, jet engines, computers, tv, radar, microwaves, the web.etc)
Global misrule:
America and britain are both doing grave damage the world. However, since loosing the "evil" empire it is Americas foreign policy causing the most upset. If the middle east was so angered by the UK, then why did they attack America? Why, is the middle east largely anti american? America is involved because it wants to be. The iraqi peope did not ask to be "liberated" (meaning to be thoroughly desecrated by american military)
After the seccond world war we pumped money into Germany to stabilise it whilst our own bombed out nation lay bankrupt and ruined. We fought the nazis for some time before america's entry into the war (towards the end). We gave up everything to fight the nazi threat to freedom, and democracy. our nation was destroyed and hung out to dry, whilst other nations such as the U.S took the spoils.
WE control YOUR thoughts?? lol, how precisely do we do that???
The brain drain. Many of our best thinkers have moved to the U.S because of poor funding here in the UK. However, our universities, do accept students from around the globe, as do most nations.
Iraq wars 1 & 2. You started those, not us.
In short, your list of "facts" are wholly false and mis-leading. They are result of racist opinion. The very same list could easily be applied to France, Germany, Russia, Spain, and of course America. As a nation you bully your way around the world stage. You refuse to accept non american ways of life. And you simply cannot understand why the majority of the panet doesn't like you. Britain is still populr around the globe, although siding with the yanks in this illegal Iraq war has cost us dearly. You have set yourself up as the world police when hasn;t been called for and isn;t wanted. and constantly push YOUR values, opinions, and way of life onto others. Before criticizing other nations, take a good long look at yourself.
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND GET PAID!
