  1. We’re a loving country and like to spread that love to everyone. (By love, I mean trains)

  2. so much of the empire was an accident. it wasn’t planned it just kind of happened

    “There is something very characteristic in the indifference which we show towards this mighty phenomenon of the diffusion of our race and the expansion of our state. We seem, as it were, to have conquered and peopled half the world in a fit of absence of mind. While we were doing it, that is in the eighteenth century”

  3. If you have a hobby, like collecting trains or something, and you are really stimulated by that hobby, you may go a bit too far, and end up with an attic completely rammed with realistic rail set ups, points, bridges, crossings and trains, etc.

    That was kind of the same as us with countries………

  4. We’ve only got 22 more till we’ve invaded them all

  5. It’s not you or me, it’s the 0.1% who are responsible.

    Always have been.

  6. If it didn’t have a flag it wasn’t a country, so technically, the Empire only took empty spaces and planted flags.

    Anywhere that had a flag wasn’t to regulation, so didn’t count.

  7. This is extra good because it’s circular.

    Netflix is the place where Britain’s lost conquests are remembered in period dramas.

  8. To assure we have an empire where the sun never sets, we hereby announce that we have colonized the sun.

  9. I swear that it’s just yanks larping as Brits in this sub. No one actually British thinks this much about the British Empire, because 99.9% of us had nothing to do with it.
