@izzythepush,
Bollocks? Let's take a look shall we?
I am sure Setanta would have better information, but let me see what I can shake out of my noggin from history class past.
I do believe that the Brits ran
concentration camps during the 2nd Boer war. Like 100,00 mostly women and children rounded up and interned. Like a third of them died.
Then there was that famous soldier,
Reginald Dyer (Had to look his name up I admit) who in the long time span of
10 MINUTES killed somewhere between 500 and 1000 protestors and injuring another 1000 or so. He was hailed as a hero back home. What a guy.
India really was a black eye on the great British Empire. Really tarnished the crown. Remember when they split India up and like a million people were killed due to sectarian violence that resulted after a fine cup of tea?
Cyril Radcliffe would remember were he still sipping tea today.
Then there was the
famine of Bengal... 15-30 million Indians died while the British Empire exported tons of wheat from the region to their soldiers in places like Greece.
Churchill
said it best "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits."
One of the reasons Obama had the Churchill bust removed from the Oval Office is because of the
Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya. More concentration camps, more rape and murder of women and children, more death at the hands of the Brutish Empire. I mean British, of course.
