1967.

Are you trying to stifle the free expression of citizens political views ?

Ok then , on topic , can we have a litte genocide claim over here so we can join the guilt club as a state ?
Tell you what , there was a lot of micks out in van Diemans land , can we get the credit for getting rid of the Tasmans ?

But we invented modern terrorism - let's leave something for the imperials, eh?

It does have the virtue of being a real genocide.

I'm sorry, but I don't care. I really don't. Or rather, I care to the same extent and for the same reasons that I care about, I don't know, the Roman sack of Jerusalem in 70AD.

Oh, and apparently the Brits invented the concentration camp during the Boer War. Rule Britannia!

Yeah. (We didn't invent death camps though.) This was because those crafty boers refused to stand still in one place to be shot at. So we gathered in all the civilians, and then anyone left outside must be an enemy. What can I say? It worked.

There is a tendency in British historiography to paint an all too rosy picture of the British Empire, of British decolonialism.

I think you are about 40 years behind the times. The only tendency I am aware of is the tendency to blame every problem in the developing world on colonialism, tempered only by the difficulty of reconciling the mutually conflicting desires to present the British as ruthlessly evil and completely incompetent. You are still allowed to teach British history in schools, but only if you make it clear the British were always wrong.

Personally, I'd like a bit of ruthless evilness right now. Starting with the political

s hiding in depatments of education up and down the country.

I am sorry, I will not join this discussion as I don't have enough time to write what I would say on some subject mentioned.
However I find it irritating that, seeing as I have just joined the backroom in the failing search of decent conversation, this subject is pattered and scarred hither and thither with little remarks to the effect of, "Why do you people constantly have to talk silly-billy politics? Is that all you do? Can we not just leave it?", in a Political section of the forum.

There is enough one-line sarcasm everywhere else on the forum, this is the place which self-defines as respectable speech and argument.

Personally, I think this is a topic for the Monastary.

I always find the Backroom slows down at certain points in the year. It always regains momentum, and is one of the better places on the forums I visit for educated debate.
