[WillowLily]

I think that they must have stolen even more money from the so-called British empire no sorry for invading their lands and everything else they did in the name of the royal family and government bs they have even more to pay back for and am not talking about money

We have a name for what Britain did...it's called playing currency markets or the Forex exchange in America.
It's the exact same thing that George Soros did to accumulate his wealth...(almost bankrupted the UK while doing it too)

Nobody was robbed... nobody was stolen from. People were paid for the goods and materials they sold. Granted it was extremely cheaper to buy goods in India than they sold for...but that's why people go into business...they buy goods and services at a discount and then retail them out for higher prices. And because they were also making favorable currency exchanges at the same time the crews of very ships which were carrying the cargo were busy snuggling silver and gold coins every trip. Where they may not have any ownership of the cargo they knew a good deal when they seen one too.

"Stolen" is sensationalism.
Similar things were done by the French with Africa. Spain did the same thing with South America. It's not highway robbery. People got paid what they perceived as good wages. People fought amongst themselves in India for selling privileges...(ships could only hold so much cargo)

So this whole notion of stealing is a farce.

When all their war criminals died. How british is that:

Guardian: "Declassified documents of the British Foreign Ministry show that british propagandists in the 1960s secretly incited anti-communists to liquidate the Communist Party of Indonesia and kill 500 thousand communists of the country."
In essence, the island admits to provoking the mass destruction of ideological opponents. In Indonesia, 500 thousand supporters of communist ideology were murdered in 2 years.
