British-Conservatism

What about the ethnic cleansing of 200,000 British people?
Should we ignore that?

You mean colonial invaders? People who turned up, inslaved the natives and took most of their land? My heart bleeds for them, the poor people having to come home.

We shouldn't be interefering in the business of other countries.

Try reading some history.
When we arrived the Shona people where slaves to the Matabele.
We liberated them then built Rhodesia.

So? We then took their land and enslaved them and exploited them. Interfering in foreign countries rarely does any good. The Shona revolted against Rhode's personal fiefdom in 1896 and 1897, so they couldn't of been that thrilled by it. He and his successors then started to grant native land to coming white settlers.

We wiped out slavery in our colonies.

You mean chattel slavery, I meant simply enslaving them to the British state. They had little voice and we exploited them as we saw fit. Such as the parcelling up of land which should of rightfully been taken back by the people. Unfortunately it was mostly taken by party bosses.

Try understanding morality.

Their land, their way of life, their problems.

We had no right to steal what was theirs other than the right given by might and the gun..

Just as the European colonists had no right to steal the land from the Native Americans and then engage in genocide. Because that is exactly what took place.

There is an irony.

Now we are being invaded and even colonised by the Sons of the Prophet and just like the Red Indians, most of us, especially our politicians don’t even realise what’s taking place.

That we, or at least our ancestors, had introduced in the first place and profited mightily from.

Slavery existed in Africa long before we arrived and of course it's been restored since we left.

And we kept up the political slavery.

I don't really see what your argument is. It seems to be that the Shona were allegedly chattel slaves, despite revolting against the British early on, and therefore it was okay for us to conquer them and exploit them.
