Bexy, in the same way you criticize shadbolt, were are you learning your history from?
I dont like to wallow in Britains wrong doings, but there is many lives we have changed for the better.
"Do you know anything of the current political and humanitarian crises across Africa, crises that still stem in many areas from the days of colonialism, of Empire?"
where exactly are you talking about? funny enough, some of the most politically stable nations on the african continent were former colonies of the British empire. I would just like to say again that I do not claim all of what britain has done in the past is right, but we take a lot negative comments i dont think we warrant.
It wasnt like when shadbolt refered to the abolition of slavery he meant it in a pro-slavery manner.
Why dont you look at current problems like the sudan crisis in durfur, the human rights violations caused by 'president' mugabe in zimbabwe or the countless civil wars in the african continent instead of looking to the past.
