Tammy has no idea how far the British Empire has fallen. Conquerors, great thinkers and law-givers have given way to fudge-packers with Muslim boyfriends.

Sure, but take note of the strong French influence there, and if You had to cross all those gators and pythons, you wouldn't be going to make it to Walgreens for floss right quickly on a regular basis!

meanwhile the British have exported bad teeth around the globe

It's a big myth.

British teeth are no worse than US smiles, say researchers

Some kids in Wales have never even owned a toothbrush, Going by the General state of Tammy, I suspect he was one of them. How they drag us down. Lol.

Two-thirds of Welsh children have tooth decay, warns worrying new report

Wales is lagging behind England when it comes to the proportion of children suffering tooth decay, a new survey has revealed.

The Children’s Dental Health (CDH) Survey 2013 found that 63% of 15-year-olds in Wales have tooth decay compared with 41% across the border.

And 22% of Welsh children aged between five and 15 showed severe or extensive decay – 10% more than English children in the same age bracket.

It also found that one in nine Welsh children has lost a tooth due to decay by the age of 15, with just one in three children in Wales of all ages having good oral health.

Two-thirds of Welsh children have tooth decay, warns report

Blaming the Turks for the slaughter of British troops at Balaclava.

 

[GLASNOST]

There are several points but I suppose the main one is that people are very quick to condemn one group in society for the actions of a few whilst ignoring the actions of others.

Too true.

Are the awful actions of ISIS any worse than those of the British, or American governments ?

No.

I agree. If a group that never evolved out of the stone age do not wish to embrace modernity, they ought to be left alone. Personally, I would welcome things like indoor plumbing, but it's their choice. Let 'em shit in woods.

I actually think you are talking through your arse.

You wouldn't read it, so why ask such pointless questions of people? You haven't read the bible, yet you're in here babbling some 'point' or other with zero context or any indication you've read it, Tommy.

We suggested a nice hobby to keep you occupied and in line with your abilities, Flatten Wales, so stay focused on that instead of starting threads on topics you have no background at all in.

Britain withdrew from Asia only after the myth of British invincibility was completely shattered after the fall of Singapore and the British could no longer believe that British rule could be sustained in Asia in the post-war era. Subject peoples under British rule were under the illusion that white troops would never be defeated and they did not even think about rising up against British rule. As a result, the British rarely committed atrocities to maintain the empire, such as the Mau Mau massacre in the 1950s. Moreover, local ruling elites were in cahoots with the British, working as colonial administrators on their behalf. Overall, it was a benign and liberal empire.

Don't know that the first points are true; most armies know they aren't 'invincible', and in the case of the British their colonial presence was pretty small as far as white Brits presence; India had maybe 10,000 Brits running around on average for most of its rule there, hardly a fearsome presence in so large a country. But yes, they were indeed very benign relative to the kind of rulers the locals were before the Brits came along. As for China, the Euros and Yanks were all concentrated in tiny seaboard enclaves, and didn't actually 'rule' much at all.

That point was made in this book and his latest publication also touched on the subject. In old days, coloured peoples were so used to be ruled by European colonists that they could never imagine that European troops would be defeated and expelled from Asia someday, thus ushering in a new era without European colonialism. It could have been much uglier, if there had been frequent uprisings and IRA-type terrorism targeting the British.
