I beg to differ. I think this new generation coming through have informed themselves well. In these modern times its very easy to go on certain online platforms and not only see what's going on, but understand why its going on and more importantly, how long its been going on for. We now know with certainty how much power the IL have over both the American and British government and if that doesn't piss the Brits off, then you have to ask, why not?
History has been hidden from the older generation. The horrors of colonialism, has been brushed over well up until now, but now its ugly head has raised above the precipice and the younger generation are angry.
Its easy to suggest they are just an angry mob of stupid people and if it makes people feel better to suggest thats is all good and well, but we are presently going through a historical period of change that will be talked about in the years to come.
