How true Jenny, but if they did F Off, where would they go? Their problem would be in finding somewhere on this Earth that has not got a less than desirable history, because we British are not alone in the mistakes we have made in our Imperialistic past.

The great irony here is, that huge numbers of learned black people throughout the world owe their education to Rhodes, because when he died, he left almost a billion US dollars by today's value, to found 'Rhodes Scolarships to provide education for poor students - most of which went to OXFORD UNIVERSITY to provide places at Oxford for students from the BRITISH COLONIES as well as Germany and the United States.
