Because it was assumed, more troops could be stationed there

The Parsis were very much used by the Brits, yet they are entirely fine and no one minds them.

No, I mean what impact it ended up having on he situation today

Ah

It wasn't assumed we would be pulling out

Or disbanding the empire

sure

I'm somewhat confused by the Sargonites meming about how Britain can just trade with the Commonwealth after it leaves the EU. Surely the biggest market there is India and I cannot imagine they are that interested in opening themselves again for privileged British merchants...

Both India and the UK want more economic growth

India wants it, so it can *try* compete with China

The UK wants it to stay afloat

literally everyone wants more economic growth, other then some weirdo extremists

Most of the idiots on here that are anti EU cheered when we voted to leave

They're also the people to complain about immigration from """Asia"""

Yet they fail to realise that us leaving the EU will mean increasing immigration from """Asia"""

lol yes

Importing MORE people they despise into the country

I've met plenty of Poles and a few Romanians

They're alright

it's a choice between Romanians and Pakis I'm afraid

They work hard and they're not scum

Pakis on the other hand

Are like a growing cancer who despise us

I don even blame em tbh

We brought it on ourselves tbh

I met a Congolese dude once

A despicable character tbh, *but* when he says that he thinks that Belguim owes him everything he can get out of it because his great uncle got his hand chopped off for working too slow. I don;t see how he doesn;t have a point. I don't think it's a sustainable model of development - just stealing back what was to some degree stolen, but it's not like I wouldn;t feel entitled to this were I in his position.

In the case of the Pakis though

put yourself in their shoes

they come to the capital of the ppl who used them as cheap labor

the ppl there live by a code of "ye no, we were totally in the wrong"

Yep

Brought it on ourselves.

they have a frankly despicable culture of excess and debauchery

they chop the dicks off their kids

and seriously consider just offing the elderly when they become too much of a burden

I'd feel like the British can get fucked too, if I were them

I'm not integrating into this mess

and there is no pressure on me to do so anyway

Hence I'm jumping ship when I can tbh

I've been unironically telling this to my French and Brit acquaintances for about 2-3 years now
