At one time, the British Empire represented 80% of the world's economy! 80 PER CENT!! Almost every government in the entire world is based on the British system! The British literally gave the world order, rule of law, and quite literally, CIVILIZATION itself! There is not a place on earth where a man can go and not find mankind better off than if the British Empire had never existed. I spent 8 of the best years of my life in the part of the world this song is about, and thrills run up my spine each time I hear it!

India? Bangladesh? Pakistan? There are people dead because of famines they (the British) caused. We are not better off because of the British Empire. We are still here, *despite* it. What an awfully idiotic and myopic thing to say.

India was 40% of world economy before the British. When you confiscate 40% of world wealth it helps get to 80%

@@taylor9131 Well of course everyone wishes to live in the riches we once did. But a few alive today realise we got there by stealing from 50+ colonies across the globe. Oh, and about the things we left behind? I pray you not be so naive. We didn't leave those things out of charity. We put them there for our use and "left" them behind because we couldn't ship them back to the island kingdom once done. We installed those as means of efficiently moving around our colonialist and exploitative administrators and soldiers within the colonies. We, alongside other dynasties across the channel in mainland Europe, eradicated the local cultures and languages so we could colonise the lands whilst stripping them of their right to self determination. Where we couldn't replace the local populations, we used violence to keep our firm grip on them for as long as we could, and simply sucked the resources dry before leaving or being forced out due to changing geopolitics post WWII.
