when was it that england REALLY fucked up?
well not exactly bottom of the barrel since they kept those in prison
mostly debtors and small crimes
it is the nature of empires to be over extended, or we can compare all the former glorious french colonies

A minority of those who settles Australia were criminals.

>collapse to a little shithole
We were this size before building a "huge empire". You called us a world power before empire, but a little shithole afterwards. We actually have more overseas territories and bases TODAY than we did before the First British Empire
Anyway, why should we be ashamed for having some successful colonies and spreading our culture throughout the world? The British Empire is gone but its legacy remains and British traditions of fiscal liberalism, parliamentary democracy, the common law and many cultural things like sport and fashion have been spread throughout the world

Maybe that's why he thinks he's relevant anymore.
>>53138061
You're an idiot, you were referring to Australia in your OP and my post said we had SOME successful colonies. Many weren't successful. But yeah we can talk about India if you want.
A country of 1 billion people, which will be an important power if only because of its size, has absorbed many British political and legal traditions, plus cultural ones (such as sport i.e. cricket). Guaranteed bonds between us and what will be one of the most important countries in the world will only be beneficial in the future. In an economic sense this kind of thing is a huge advantage because companies can expand more easily into countries that have cultural links.

Nigel pls
>>53138723
well that yes but it doesn't incur negative wealth because not a lot of income is derived from those defense pacts to where if they broke all of them at once it won't kill us
