makes you proud to be English?
I’ve managed to watch 2 out of the episodes of "Victoria’s Empire". This morning I watched last night’s episode, the last one. you know, it really does make me proud to be English (NOT!) seeing what my ancestors did with their lives. Between the utter arrogance of insisting that indigenous peoples came under our soverignty, coverted to our ways and let us lord it over them like the superior race we are (cough) not to mention shipping out our children to a new life on the other side of the world having told them that they are going somewhere great only to dump them in children’s homes worse than the ones they were taken from we really haven’t covered ourself in qutie the level of glory we could have done.
Sort of makes you wonder what people 100 years from now will think of what goes on now really.
