Britain has much to be proud of in its history, but it also much to be ashamed of, teaching both is not Marxism its teaching people the truth so they can decide for themselves. Farage talks about Britian can be proud of its role in the outlawing slavery and he is right but at the same time as Britain was doing that the pauper apprentices, children of both sexes, were being sent from workhouses and orphanages in England to be literally worked to death in its cotton mills, slaves growing that cotton in the US were never treated with the cruelty and indifference to whether they lived or died as these children were, something never mentioned in books and TV programs lauding the "great" industrial revolution. Indigenous Australians are with us today because the British colonists failed to wipe them out as they did with those in Tasmania, their attempted genocide of the indigenous people was unsuccessful.

The British Empire was pretty bad

[@StickyBud9395]

It was very bad, I was proud of what the empire had achieved then I went to India and spoke to some of the people, the British actually killed millions of Indians, I felt so embarrassed about this, for what the British did the people I spoke to didn't show any malice, we did this in many country's we forcefully conquered. This is all without mentioning the many historical artefacts we stole and still have.

[@bingofingers]

All empires are about exploitation. Up until the second world war the dominant thinking was that to be great a country had to have an empire. TBH I think the idea of pride / shame for the actions of your nation in the past is not coherent. I don't subscribe to the view that one nation is more inherently superior or 'evil' compared to others. They reflect the forces and contexts of the time.

The biggest thing the British Empire gave was the highest number of independence day celebrations around the world.

@@bingofingers It's important for ex empires to recognize the harm of their pasts though and Britain has been reluctant to do so and all Empires are bad doesn't excuse what the British Empire itself did.

Farage and Johnson (and to a lesser extent, Sunak and Truss) are the prime reasons that people have less trust in politics than ever before. Between them, they trashed all that was good about the UK. The Tories over the last 14 years, chose to lower peoples standard of living, instead of borrowing/investing at a time of historically low interest rates.

Lost a lot of money after slavery ? The former slave owners received compensation for 207 years from the taxpayer .

[@johnslavin2270]

Yes I noticed that bit of the Farage rant too. 1. As you say untrue as the owners were compensated not the owned and 2. Farage is saying that slavery was a loss maker when many of the still wealthy families of today are disbanding family fortunes made from sugar and tobacco farmed for them by whipped, raped slaves

[@robertpollock2037]

There are streets in every city in The UK named after men who made their fortunes through slavery.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

​​@@johnslavin2270to be fair, after slavery the newly emancipated black people of the United States were generally put in situations where they had to go into significant levels of debt in order to afford food and lodgings, which had interest charged on top of it, so it was technically cheaper to underpay them and force them to buy everything from you on credit than it was to provide them with food, clothing and shelter for free. If the person in debt died under those conditions the next person didn't even need to be purchased from the market, they'd volunteer because they didn't have a better option than to have one of the previous generations children take the job that just became available in order to support the family. So yeah, he's right in a sense about slavery cutting into profitability, but for completely the wrong reason and the truth is far worse than he's implying.

Maybe if Farage didn't have the luxury of two jobs paying in total six figures on an annual basis, he too would start to complain. Instead we get him whining and moaning on a regular basis about any and everything that is irrelevant or unimportant in some people's eyes. No wonder many look at him as a total grifter
