Well I for one certainly hope that Brexit is the first glorious step in reclaiming the Empire and what is rightfully ours.

Stand down lads, it was a joke.

But colonialism is so, so bad, so absolutely evil, so destructive of the countries we colonised.....

so why didn't India tear up the nasty imperial railways that they are still using today as the main connection to all parts of their vast continent?

so why are they still producing a major part of the tea supplied to the world? (after all we colonialist nicked the bushes from China an planted them in India)

why are so many African nations starving when they were all well fed under colonial rule, and even had enough over to feed some of the others? (looking at you Zimbabe!)

why do no wives in India have to throw themselves on the funeral pyres of their husbands? (the families may just burn them in other ways anyway, but at least we tried to stop it)

It wasn't perfect, it probably wasn't even that good, but why do they have to deny that there was even a modicum of good brought to these countries by the legacy of colonialism?
