And Europe will probably laugh at you in response.
Not when we have our Empire back!
Of course you are welcome back in Africa. Bring missionaries.
There'll be another Boer war and another Suez Canal crisis too.

It is certainly true that the Empire ran primarily on high levels of incompetence for its last century or so.

I was just quoting the thread title, honest...

Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power - Eric Hoffer.
I have NO BELIEF in the existence of a God or gods. I do not have to offer proof nor do I have to determine absence of proof because I do not ASSERT that a God does or does not or gods do or do not exist.

You know when you're Mom is nagging you to get that job application in at the fish processing plant, and you really know that you should, but for some reason you just can't seem to prioritise it, and she goes on and on about it, and you end up getting more and more angry with her, but really you're angry with yourself for giving up that great job at the car dealership, and in the end it boils up and you shout out "Shut the fuck up Ma! Just shut the fuck up!"? That'll be Britain next year.

That's good graft, fish processing. They pay scale and plenty of chance to get a head.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
