I am sick of hearing people moaning about the British Empire & that we should feel some sort of guilt. It makes no sense to compare today’s social standards to standards of the past. You want to talk about British Empire? Fine compare it to other empires. In the context of empires, the British Empire was arguably the most progressive in history. - abolished slavery - brought law & order to countries - brought democracy to countries - improved education standards across the world - improved women rights across the world Context is key. Study the impact of all empires before commenting on Britain’s.

LONG COVID 💥 Healthcare workers WITH COVID-19 had 7 TIMES MORE SEVERE ILLNESS than NON-COVID-19 respiratory illnesses, and 8.8% of COVID cases had LONG-LASTING SYMPTOMS vs. 3.7% in NON-COVID cases. Great thanks for this study to @atranscendedman journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-…
