Mr. Hinecap..accepting that the British Empire did subjugate the native populace of many nations, this is not regarded by all as a bad thing...when interviewing asylum claimants I was several times asked "Why do the British not come back and run our country properly, like they used to?" I suppose everything is relative...didn't have an answer to that question, considering the desperate place they were trying to escape.
