I bet you all are very proud of your empire. That great empire that nearly conquered the world? That great empire that was never defeated?
How about the British empire that tortured, beat, raped, murdered & stole from innocent civilians? Surely the British would never do this? The British actually did do these horrible things and yet idiot's like the majority of people in this guild are patriotic for Britain.
Let's just run through a few things here...
British Invasion of Ireland:
1 May 1169 was when the Norman invasion AKA British invasion of Ireland began. This was just the start. For later to come was the Oliver Cromwell invasion. When the British landed in Ireland they attacked Royalist military barracks and killed thousands. Then, Cromwell couldn't pay his British troops for their role in the attacks, so he promised them land in Ireland. To get this land the British troops went to Irish civilians houses and basically said "We are taking your property, you can choose to right us, or you can leave, or you can pay rent". Those who fought were brutally killed by British soldiers, those who left either starved or reached Connaught. If they choosed to pay rent, the British soldiers would take the Irish civilians food/valuables. Some British soldiers killed the civilians and took their houses and stayed there in Ireland. The British then took the majority of the Irish's food and left them with only potato's. This led to The Great Famine. And to Britain's wealth today.
The Great Famine:
Whether you like to believe it or not. The British Empire caused The Great Famine. Thousands of food and animals were deported to Britain from Ireland by Cromwell to be used to feed the fat a** Britshit's while the Irish across the water, starved to death. The Indians tried to send food to Ireland but the boat containing the food was stopped on the way to Ireland and was seized by the British. The Ottoman Empire tried to send money to the Irish but Queen Elizabeth forced the Ottoman's to only send 1/3 of what they were sending. This genocide by the British caused up to 5 million innocent Irish people to die.
Boer Wars:
Lizzie Van Zyl was just 1 innocent person to fall victim to the hands of the British empire. Lizzie Van Zyl and many other like him, including his family died in British concentration camps in Boer. You can investigate the rest of the Boer war yourself to see the extent the British empire went to in cruelty.
Palestine:
Palestine WAS a country, and a happy one too, before the British got hold of it. After the Nazi's attacked the Jewish. Palestine was flooded with Jewish immigrants. This spread to a lot of conflict. What do Britain do? Give Palestine to the Jewish. Most of the Irish support a free Palestine today.
Barrack Obama's Grandfather Tortured And Beaten by the British:
"Barack Obama’s grandfather was imprisoned and brutally tortured
by the British during the violent struggle for Kenyan independence, according to the Kenyan family of the US President-elect.
Hussein Onyango Obama, Mr Obama’s paternal grandfather, became involved in the Kenyan independence movement while working as a cook for a British army officer after the war. He was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a high-security prison where, according to his family, he was subjected to horrific violence to extract information about the growing insurgency.
“The African warders were instructed by the white soldiers to whip him every morning and evening till he confessed,” said Sarah Onyango, Hussein Onyango’s third wife, the woman Mr Obama refers to as “Granny Sarah”.
Mrs Onyango, 87, described how “white soldiers” visited the prison every two or three days to carry out “disciplinary action” on the inmates suspected of subversive activities.
“He said they would sometimes squeeze his testicles with parallel metallic rods. They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together with his head facing down,” she said The alleged torture was said to have left Mr Onyango permanently scarred, and bitterly antiBritish. “That was the time we realised that the British were actually not friends but, instead, enemies,” Mrs Onyango said. “My husband had worked so diligently for them, only to be arrested and detained.”"
