    The majority of the Imperial personnel in Empire Strikes Back are from somewhere within the British empire's past or present domains. ~:p

    Indeed absolutely brilliant The Man Who, with two of the best one word lines ever.

    'Polo?' 'Polo!'

    For quite a dark vision of the end of Empire, you can do a lot worse than Richard Attenborough's film version of "Oh! What a Lovely War!".
    Gentlemen should exercise caution and wear stout-sided boots when using the Fintry-Kyle Escape Apparatus. Ladies, children, servants and those of a nervous disposition should be strongly encouraged to seek other means of hurried egress.

    Or for an even darker side, Carry on up the Khyber.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
