This is still a thread about the British Empire.
I fully understand why you want to divert it away from the atrocities conducted by the British Empire.

Deported to the concentration camps in Austria?

Mauthausen, one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps, located near the village of Mauthausen, on the Danube River, 12 miles (20 km) east of Linz, Austria. It was established in April 1938, shortly after Austria was annexed to Nazi Germany.

you want to condemn British disgraceful behaviour

but deflect from others

Hypocrit from day one

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Clearly, now that transam is becoming aware of the atrocities committed by the British Empire, and the Austrians, he desperately wants to change the subject.

Rule Britannia.

I don't care if it was good or bad, it is now history, and hopefully many centuries later we have learned the good and bad.and adjusted our society accordingly.

My fear now is we are now too appeasing, and this whole woke nonsense is being agreed with too much

Thanks Notch7, I quite enjoyed that. He didn't do a good job about explaining some of his slides, but there were some salient points in his talk.
One earlier salient point was that the EU parliament has swung violently to the left since Brexit because UK MEPs made up the majority of the far right.
Another of his salient points was how UK education is designed around the context of teaching the greatness of the empire while ignoring other issues.

Yes I enjoyed it, I think it carries a fair bit of truth.

british exceptionalism

Interesting how he sees the purpose of private schools....trains people who are clueless to sound the part.

Explains why people like David Davis got to be a top exec in Tate and Lyle.....jobs for the boys
