British Empire - good or bad?

I've already exposed the fallacy in leftie-liberal thinking on this one. They deny that such a thing as indigenous peoples and cultures exist in order to justify the mass immigration policies they like. Yet they would also oppose the British empire or indeed any colonisation as it would involve imposing the colonisers way of life on the colonised.

the only way to explain this leftie-liberal flaw is that they want to create a global communist system and so things like patriotism, religion, culture pertaining to individual nations need to be dismantled

Brittas Empire? No. Not very good.

Sigh. To which of you does this tedious sock-puppet belong?
It's not working you know.

Provide evidence for this claim.

Provide evidence for this claim.

they keep on saying "we're all immigrants", technically correct but actually rather useless. A bit like saying "we're all human" when deciding if we need to separate mass murderers from the family of the murder victims.

Exactly.

Well I wouldn't have quite put it like that. I'd have said:

"I should allow people to move into my house because I too once moved into it."

Then you could work the metaphor, such as "Why should someone else benefit from the food in the fridge, leave no room on my settee, etc etc?"

That's difficult to do with mass murderers.

Not very good. Was trading up around £5 per share this time last year and is now down around £3.50.
