Letter To The ICBR: Re: Your theory is interesting.
Problems:
1) Machine gun:
According the link given in your 'resources' section it was invented by an American
2) Slums, Prisons, Child Labour, Bad Hygiene and to cap it all The Black Plague (it's not actually called this):
How can these be described as British inventions? All countries have had these before they came into contact with Britain. Think, child labour in ancient Egypt when building the pyramids.
3) Industrial revolution
Where would YOU be without the industrial revolution? America, the biggest economy in the world, is dependant on Globalisation - a British invention. Britain is not responsible for the actions of other countries (America) for their pollution and consequent global warming, in the same sense a knife maker is not responsible for the stabbing of someone done by his knife sold many years ago.
4) Dresden
Why are you not demanding Germany pay for the blitz? Dresden was a retaliation attack. How are we responsible?
5) Sealand
If it wasn't for the British Sealand wouldn't exist. It would never have been built and Prince Michael would have died in the fire last year
6) There are plenty more mistakes, but I don't want to bore you in the same way you have been boring us by your weak ideology
Your logic is appalling. You clearly lack any historical knowledge relating to Britain. You do not understand the difference between Britain and England.
By your logic Britain (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) should pay itself, since you say the English persecuted the Welsh. How did you work this out?
As to the denial that you are racist, what could be more discriminate than holding an entire nation accountable for what their ancestors did many generations ago?
What is it against the British? Are you jealous, that we had the biggest empire the world had ever seen, and that you got beaten in Vietnam and Iraq, and the entire world hates you? Don't you think it's a bit stupid that you are attacking your ONLY world ally.
How do you expect us to pay? Following your links about the crown estates, it is clear that crown or government has no right to sell or lease such properties. Turning Buckingham Palace into a hotel is a preposterous idea since it is in fact a private residence owned by the monarchy.
Suggesting we pay our entire GDP year on year into reparations is equally stupid. How do you think we could afford to keep up repayments if we were to pay up? And how would the country survive to continue paying?, what about the tens and tens of millions of innocent people who are dependant on the state for survival. Are you suggesting that they should just die?
Why stop at the British? Surely, by your own logic, the Italians could be blamed for the Roman Empire, or Ghengis Khan and Alexander the Great, should the Mongolians be forced to pay billions for their ancestors too?
It is clear you hate the British, and you are entitled to do so. However, if you don't like us then we ask you to (apart from getting your history right) stop using OUR language, ALL of our inventions and never to come here, because I can assure you, if you were to say what this site contains in London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds or York, you would find yourself a dead man.
I know, there are a lot of questions in this email, and I would be grateful if you could respond and at least give yourself some dignity
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND GET PAID!
