But I am trying to draw a clear distinction between the results of Britains colonial past, and her colonial past.

Britains imperial ambitions were manifest in the forced subjugation of many indigenous peoples all over the world. Centuries later new countries with new names now exist where Britain once (forcibly) flew her flag. To argue that because of this, colonialsm wasn't all bad, is in fact to justify colonialsm and all its methods.

Britains colonial past is a blight on her history. I challenge anyone to argue otherwise.

God bless Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the Commonwealth.
