In school, history class greatly shortens the fact that the British were a bunch of heroin pushers in Hong Kong a century ago. Is this a normal thing to just sweep under the rug? You know, let's make that about a paragraph or two, then give Germany's WW1/WW2 global domination conquest about 3 or 4 chapters. History textbook makers have been paid off right? Skip that drug trafficking part?

British drug dealers in China. LOL! Oh sorry, that's all? My mistake? That's all? We apologized. LOL.

I won't touch on the colonization of India too much. Good bits and bad bits came from that happening.

Its all history.

    Yeah we dealt drugs there's a lot of money in it after all. We enslaved children and Africans, took over 25% of the world and created ourselves an empire and then we stupidly gave it back. We worked so hard too steal it from the people it belonged too. We are just evil opportunistic people and now they all want to live in Britain so I think we have been forgiven in some capacity.

    Yours faithfully

    A pissed off Brit ;)

    Because they don't want you to know the truth.

    If you want the truth you need to research but beware there are many that would lead you down the wrong path.

    TRUST NO ONE!!!
