Diversity built Britain? The precise opposite is true.

STOLEN resources of those Britain colonized built Britain!

Heartbreaking to see how magnificent and peaceful this country once was. It’s like an alternate reality unlike what we are experiencing now. It’s an understatement to say how heartbreaking it is now in Britain.

Most people don't know that colonialism usually ended up costing colonizers more than they took from the colonies. With few exceptions the cost of security and maintenance of colonies was a losing proposition for the mother country, although some companies may have profited.

Golding, I’ve nicked this from someone else because it is apt.

Have you heard of that thing called ‘the Empire’ Paul? You know, where the shit ton of our resources and workforce used to come from?

Images like this of 1950s Britain fail to show the deprivation that most endured. We were ruled by toffs and kept in our place.

Why did you colonize other countries. Is that your father's property?

If we look at it properly, I would have said that it was mainly the Irish that built Britain. When the Navvies that came over had finished building the Canals, they went on to help build the Railways.
