I know you don't.
My sweet edgy boi.
this was the article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51177299
The British Empire was good precisely because it helped most of the world through modernisation of the countries it colonised
I hate the way they seperate out black British people tbh.
British history is British.
End of.
They arent British
They arrived post 48'
Yes they are
No
Blacks existed in the UK before 48'
If they were born here and raised here then they are British
In how few numbers?
Race has nothing to do with it
One of the guys who led the British charge to abolish slavery was Black.
Cope
"In 1833, the UK parliament passed a law to finally outlaw slavery in the British Empire. The catch? In order to persuade slave owners, the government had to pay £20m in compensation for the loss of their "property".
That bailout to slave owners amounted to 40% of the country's national budget at the time, or £2.4bn in today's money. The debt wasn't fully paid off until 2015."
Leohte we do cope with you but lord you make it hard.
Yes, the population of blacks in Britain prior to 48' was no more numerous than 5000
Can we add Leohte to that strawpoll that was pinned?
But they are endemic to all of our history
I imagine that was pulled out of your arse.
Im pretty sure 40% of our budget is more than 2.4bn
You can imagine what you want, Marxist.
@wacka The big brains don't realise that sometimes talking softly works better than using the big stick.
Ah yes.
If I'm not racist or hating Jews I'm a Marxist.
it inflated even more after ww2
Marxism has a very low barrier to entry nowadays.
I thought you had to actually believe in Marxism silly me.
right but they say.. its the equivalent today as 2.4bn
That makes Marxism sound better actually
Maybe I am a Marxist then Lizard?
if it was 40% of our budget these days it would be about half a trillion
not by monetary inflation did it get bigger
the actual spending
If Marxism is just not being racist or Anti-Semitic then a good potion of the world population are Marxists
