1)This is a story of how the British never left the subcontinent after the Independence of Pakistan.
Throughout its colonial rule, British Raj undertook major social re-engineering of Indian society through land reallocations, specialized education,

2)and contracting to establish a loyal local feudal and educated elite to serve the British Raj. Loyal they were throughout the colonial period, and loyal they have been to this date.

3)We blame the Americans for interference in Pakistan for nothing, when in reality to this date, it is the British Government that has been playing dirty politics in Pakistan. #UKGovtSupportsMafias
4)The best evidence to this is to just look at where do all political mafias and corrupt officials run to seek refuge? Where do they send their children to study? Where do they go for their medical treatments? But this only the start of the story. #UKGovtSupportsMafia
5)One may ask how does the British benefit from this all? Well, first it benefits in billions of dollars because the safehaven it provides to brutal dictators & corrupt officials from all over the world allows massive pouring of wealth to the British economy.

6)Back in the colonial days, British Raj would extract wealth directly, now It extracts the wealth of the poor from developing countries like Pakistan through these corrupt rulers that are hand in glove with the British.

7)But there is more. The corrupt rulers have not only robbed the poor Pakistani’s out of their wealth but over time have destroyed the public education and public health sector that has directly benefitted the UK government.

8)For instance, hundreds and millions of pounds flow out of Pakistan every year through O and A levels system, why? Because the same corrupt rulers made the educational system so dysfunctional that it was replaced by O and A levels.

9)Now even the University of London offers University Degrees to locals because, our ruling elite is not bothered to do their job. Perhaps, that’s exactly their job – to do nothing.

10)If you think this is by accident, it’s not. The failure of institutions and education/health sector in Pakistan is by design and these are the classic neocolonial extractive techniques deployed by former colonial powers to keep robbing the poor in developing countries.
11)Not only this, but to save these corrupt rulers that continue to plunder the poor in their countries is an official British policy.

Colonization never ended. It only changed its face.
Welcome to 2021.

End.
