Don't forget that the British people themselves have been slaves of the Romans and for a long time most of the population were effectivley slaves with the upper classes and land owners paying peanuts and treating their "staff" terribly. As other people say it is history, and the British can be proud of what they have become today and should maintain and build on it. If the Brits went on about how badly they were treated by the Romans/Vikings/whoever then we would be stuck in the dark ages still. I really do wonder why some people feel the need to rubbish this country for mistakes (yes it has made a few) in the past.
