Blaming the British empire is pretty ridiculous, people have been conquered for power and resources since time began, only this time we have been conquered from the inside, I can't think of anytime in history where the rulers have actively gone out to wipe out their own people and a lot of the people are cheering it on with their white saviour complex. Didn't the irish, Welsh, Norse and Scottish all join together to wipe out the English 1000 years or so ago and can I blame that for the state of the country now?
