What this little island did for the World is the greatest story in the history of mankind.

Sure, it's not all good, but the good outweighs the bad, which is more than can be said for every other country. If you only highlight the bad stuff, then of course your argument is going to be right. But why leave out the good stuff?

Tell that to India, tell that to all the cultures we trampled over. There's nothing more brittish than ignorant people making out that the empire was good because people appreciated being conquered by us. Just too much delusion.

We didn't fight to stop slavery, we just profited from it quietly until we decided not to.

Nothing you say has any basis in reality and you are proving my point about insane amounts of arrogance basically being a core part of our identity.

'People loved being conquered by us and suffering for our benefit!'

JFC, the delusion.
