Are people under the impression that African countries that belonged to the British Empire were just left to languish? Do people know how much money we send to Africa every year, and for how many years? It's not an empire now, it's a Commonwealth. And Africa gets the largest share of the aid we send. Corrupt governments who starve their own people should be ousted by the UN... an organisation who sits powerlessly while people die of hunger at the hands of a despot.

No one can change the wrongs that were done before any of us were born, but you can accept that governments across the world have been pouring cash into Africa for years, decades... and they're still murdering children because they think they're witches. They're still having sex with virgins because they think it can cure AIDS. I would argue that despite the huge setback of empire, we're forgetting the amount of damage that has been done since.
