What do they think the point of the whole empire thing was?
White Man's Burden probably.
It was just a well-meaning whoopsie-do
They never get a white person to say this
Yeah. It's really common
Any other interpretation could derail efforts to increase growth at home and abroad, Badenoch said.
I love how she just straight up tells us this is teleological lmao has no shame
Past Brits were quite proud of their colonialism and its profits, and weren't hiding it.
Also, what would be the female equivalent of "Uncle Tom" and "Bruh"?
Ah yes the "glorious" revolution of 1688 when the British slave trade was "deregulated" and the monopoly of the Royal African Company was broken, triggering an explosion of private slave piracy and kidnappings
These state mouthpieces need better lines
Wait wait wait, if the empire has nothing to do with the wealth, it’s all about the norms and standards of parliament, then what’s the problem with some aid to or more equitable trade relationships with the former colonies? The supposed wealth generator isn’t being touched. Sound awfully worried that economic growth isn’t going to be possible if there isn’t a lopsided trade relationship there.
We understand why the West got rich, that's why we call out the colonialism and imperialism ghouls gonna ghoul i guess
What created it then? Derring-do?
Stupid KKKraKKKer being the lap dog of the racist bourgeoisie. Honestly, I feel for British socialists to have an incompetent government in the UK, as well as a terrible "opposition party". Hopefully, the UKKK will fall.
Death to the UKKK. Death to the KKKonSServative Party, Death to the New Labour Party, death to TERF ISSland, Victory to Communism.
