Denim, your irrational and xenophobic rant about "British Imperialism" seems blithely unaware of the utterly dismal and shameful record of German Imperialism, second only to the Belgian's record for sheer awfulness.

If you troubled to look at the historical record you'd see that british "Imperialism" actually brought large sections of the world into the modern industrial age and (incidentally) in so doing saved them from the dire depredations of your lot and the Belgeeques. British Imperialism was generally a force for the good.

And just what the **** had the First World War to do with British Imperialism anyway?

I was under the impression we entered it to prevent German Imperial aggression in Europe, (just like we had to do again 20 years later) or perhaps the historical record is incorrect...

And if you think that poppies have anything to do with Imperialism you are a very sad, bitter and misguided person. I feel sorry for you.
