Heard it said to Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis & British Asians you should be thankful the British built the railway. The truth: Indians couldn't work on them, paid for at exorbitant rates by Indian taxpayers whilst those railways facilitated exploitation of people and land. https://twitter.com/nizbit/status/1297852129667960833

Now multiply this across the "British Empire" because the atrocities happened all over it.

"If you don't like it you should leave". No. I'm going nowhere; I'm British and I was born here. Neither are my parents. They are here because you were there. They paid their dues to this country. So don't @ me with your racist nonsense.

"Why do you hate Britain so much?" I don't. I love this country, it's my home. Knowing and understanding our true Imperial history is not hating your country. It is being honest about its past.
