Judging by the Spanish name, stones and glass houses and all that
Atrocities in Malaysia – napalm, agent orange, mass forced resettlement – all the dirty tricks the US used in Vietnam, they learned from Britain.
By no means a complete list.
I don’t get why these daft twats do it, you can always throw mud back at them with ease.
Mambo mambo!
GENOCIDE in Ireland
Jambo! Sema?
The Great Bengal famine of 1942 – 43 was quiet horrible
This doesnt even scratch the surface, you don’t even want to KNOW what they did in South Africa
The list for atrocities committed in each colony could fill up an entire memorial museum individually. An example is the British museum.
Tasmanian genocide is always a good one to add 👍
In fairness the slave trade wasnt their baby. The trade was booming for centuries there and not jst the brits but the french and dutch made use of it too and more besides. Plus they waged a couple wars to end the slave trade long before the US ended slavery there.
Whats sad is there was a resurgence in recent times in slavery across africa and into the middle east.
Since the queen died I am seeing an ever growing trend of not letting people forget what the British Monarchy did to the world.
Residential schools in Canada
Was there nothing positive?
Was there nothing positive?
Edit: Btw I’m not British.
I like the way Ireland is number 1 and the rest of the world is number 2
We’ve earned it, to be fair
You can add PG tips to the list as well.
Walking around London earlier in the summer and looking at all the monuments and grand buildings it’s clear where all that wealth came from. They looted 25% of the planet, murdered and repressed. The British Museum for example is considered by many to be the worlds largest and most valuable collection of stolen goods. They claim all the exhibits were paid for then donated for but curiously cannot provide a shred of evidence.
The worst part is they don’t even teach their kids the truth of it. They are blissfully ignorant.
I would blame the initial part of the transatlantic slave trade on the Spanish and Portuguese.
I love how the ‘10 days of mourning’ for the queen looks like it will be filled with 10 days of remembrance for the atrocities. A good way to spend it, I think.
Tactics used against the Mau Mau were used in Northern Ireland as well. Both spearheaded by Frank Kitson.
Name an empire which did not make any atrocities
Add the famine in ireland to that list.
And some of these were done directly under Lizzie’s rule.
re 3 is a shaky one as it’s the country that ended most of the slave trade as well
Why is it only Britain that gets the blame for this?
Not that the British Empire didn’t do horrible things, but no one ever has a pop at the French, Dutch, Belgians, Spanish, Portuguese, Turks, Arabs etc etc
I can accept the boot licking from the Yanks because to them it’s all just celebrity but the utter fawning by certain lads, some even on this subreddit, is pathetic. Do these people have no self-respect? No understanding of what the British state apparatus – of which the Crown is intertwined with – has done to many innocent people across this island?
In another thread, I’ve seen this defended on the basis that Britain are our ‘allies’ supposedly and we must therefore be respectful. What sort of allies fund and enable loyalist death squads to murder our people? What of the MRF? Of Dublin and Monaghan? The Miami Showband killings? The forcible partition of our country?
Did our gracious allies not violate international law in relation to the Protocol?
You might be able to condense it into 6 volumes, not 6 bullet points

Famine/Genocides in India and Ireland.
