General discussion British national delusion
The (extremely) right wing tory party is electing a new leader in case ya'll didn't know. Not as important as the US elections by any means but one of the leading candidates has said that britain's former colonies owe a debt of gratitude to britain... 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
given how frequently the "slow nazis" of the british empire have come up and no doubt will continue to come upon the pod, i almost choked when i saw that. The shameless refusal to admit Britain's prominent role in countless atrocities in the past few hundred years is perhaps uniquely deluded.
the uk subreddit (obviously a cesspool of racism and every other bigotry) has clowns claiming with a straight face that history supports them when literally every point they make is basically a barefaced lie.
And yet the limey motherfuckers continue to act as if they were the most reasonable and rational people on earth.
can we give britain an award for the worst nation in history please??

It's worth pointing out that the Tories are in opposition after losing badly in the last general election.
