Heard it said to Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis & British Asians you should be thankful the British built the railway. The truth: Indians couldn& #39;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">https://twitter.com/nizbit/st...
Now multiply this across the "British Empire" because the atrocities happened all over it.
"If you don& #39;t like it you should leave". No. I& #39;m going nowhere; I& #39;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& #39;t @ me with your racist nonsense.
"Why do you hate Britain so much?" I don& #39;t. I love this country, it& #39;s my home. Knowing and understanding our true Imperial history is not hating your country. It is being honest about its past.
