@Object_Zero_ He didn't invent it, Admiral Rodney did at the battle of the Saintes, and is why the famous Nelson-class battleship was named after him.

Britain used to be led by men like this. • Sent to stop an assembling invasion force • Face impossible odds • Invent new battle doctrine on the spot • Lead from the front (suicide) • Win decisively! • Capture ALL enemy ships • Unexpectedly achieve total naval supremacy • Unexpectedly achieve global hegemony that lasts for 200 years. • Bleed out onboard your shattered flagship HMS Victory No other man has ever experienced such an afternoon.

@Bazza315 @PaulSTEandM @Glinner That is the most retarded take. The National Socialists merged and nationalized the unions. And putting your political rivals in camps is standard operating procedure for the left. History is littered with examples of left-wing factions killing each other.

@PaulSTEandM @Glinner

What a cunt he turned out to be.

@Glinner I spotted that he was a cunt in around 1982.

@FriendsofAlAqsa As time goes by, the far-right looks more and more appealing.

🚨 This Saturday, everyone must be on the streets of London to stop the far right. Join the Together Alliance and Palestine Coalition to stand against the far right. Meeting points: 📍 Park Lane or Exhibition Road 🕛 12:00 pm See you there. #Together #FreePalestine #HandsOffAlAqsa

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock Government got really big in India after the British left, and thats when things really turned to shit. But instead of blaming socialism, they blame Britain.

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock This is typical of the kind of idiocy people like you repeat. Britain did not micromanage India. Many of the failings in India, we the failings of Indians. It's only in recent times we have big government. So you can't blame the British for things they weren't expected to do.

The British were the good guys, actually

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock We generally were at the time, because most of our "conquests" stopped war and brought generations of peace. For the average person, British Imperialism was significantly better than the feudalism it replaced. The facts don't lie. You could look up standards of living.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock Yes might certainly carved out the empire but I’m pretty sure we were not “ loved and thanked for it” you definitely made that part up

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock Might was right, until the British changed the rules of the game by forcing the world to accept our values.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock I’ve encountered a fair number of people like you who deny history and believe the British empire was some mythical force of good and fair play, You can believe this if you want but I suspect you know it’s probably not true but you don’t give a shit anyway . Might is right ?

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock I do, constantly. Why don't you tell us about the Ottoman Empire, the Zulu Empire, the Sikh Empire?

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock Look at the archives nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/reso…

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock Britain won the game of Empires. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Britain changed the rules of the game, and it's those new rules by which you are judging the British Empire. So no, I don't really give a shit about the opinions of the historically illiterate.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock You talk in riddles because you know that the historical facts I recount are indeed true, you really should be honest and admit you don’t give a shit how badly the British behaved rather than pretending they were anything but privateers

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock Look at the timescale. The problems were quickly identified by the British, and fixed by the British. The model was a major part in ending the conflict, and was repeated many times, without loss of civilian life many times, right through to the 1970s.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock The evidence is well documented and concentration camps were hardly something to be proud of inventing especially in the context of SA

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock History is usually re-written by the losers, who will bang on about it for centuries after the victors lose interest. They will strip it of inconvenient context, and reframe it so it's only viewed from their perspective. The facts can be correct, and still tell the wrong story.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock These are historical facts that I’ve shared with you, the sources are numerous and well documented, if you wish to deny them that’s up to you, but to suggest the British empire was some philanthropic source for good is to demonstrate your Ignorance or prejudice or both

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock If you dig into who writes this nonsense, you will find they are usually Indian "Marxist Economists" (an oxymoron if ever there was one) who are trying to blame Britain for the current state of India, when they should blame the post-colonial experiments with socialism.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock The exploitation of the Indian economy and switching the production from domestically usage agri crops to commercial export crops is not nonsense,

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock ...all presented without any context. Often little evidence. Designed to mislead and misinform. Logistical problems with the concentration camps were quickly sorted out - they worked, and became the world's model for counter insurgency operations.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock The theft of natural resources across the British empire is definitely not nonsense, The pioneering of concentration camps and the deaths they caused are not nonsense, the massacre of Delhi and the Chinese opium wars are historical fact,

@zarahsultana @UKTogetherAll The guys in the private jets create jobs for the working classes. The working classes build private jets!

The real enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy. That's why I'm proud to be joining the @UKTogetherAll march *this Saturday* in London ✊🏽 We reject the racism and division of the far right. See you on the streets 🫡 togetheralliance.org.uk

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock You have been lied to. Gold for example... this was free enterprise. We fought the Boers and ended their use of slavery. Gold miners were recruited and paid. Accusations of theft, looting, exploitation, are nonsense.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock We exploited tin and rubber from Malaysia we took wood from India Africa and SE Asia to enable us to build our navy we took gold and diamonds from South Africa we took iron ore from India, this wasn’t free trade it was theft pure and simple

@1223334567888a @AdamPollock No, we didn't invent the concentration camp. Everybody participated in slavery. We didn't steal resources, we paid for them, as our Empire was based on trade. Free trade made us rich. You have been lied to.

@LansdellBilly @AdamPollock We also invented the concentration camp, and we participated in slavery massively before we ended it, we killed a lot of people, invaded a lot of countries and stole vast amount of natural resources which we used to help make is one of the richest nations on the planet

The Prime Ministers of the UK, Australia and Canada all read from the exact same script.

@JackHadders This has been going on for years. I'd be amazed if half the Nigerian immigrants who drive, took their own test. It's worse with Indian/Pakistanis.

“Horrendous” driver from Pakistan paid someone to sit her UK driving test for her after failing multiple times, and despite this being reported over and over to the DVLA, she’s STILL allowed to drive. Legal Advice YooKay really does bring the gems!
