What sucks to me with all this woke and cancel culture and what happened all those years ago, is history being judged by todays more enlightened standards.
I am extremely proud of the UK's history, that a little island like ours built the world biggest empire.
Of course we didn't do it by being nice to the lands that were overcome, but in the context of that time, it was the way it was.
Are we going back to the Mongols, Romans, Viking etc. and demand restitution, and apologies for the pillage, rape, enslavement committed then?
How far back is good enough for the hand wringers and apologists.
