Look up the term "whataboutism". The second part of your statement smacks of racism.
I'm not a racist, I couldn't care less what colour people are
What I can't stand is a smart arse

Looking for a "whataboutist?" Look in the mirror, Pete.
Nothing screams "I'm not a racist" like implying the world's indigenous people were better off under oppressive colonial rule because they were "too busy eating each other"
Interesting from the viewpoint of a Yank, here. A darkie in Britain seems to be a black skinned person from India.
Yum! Love that food! Those folks were colonialized and allowed into GB as cheap labor and restaurant owners.
Now a black skinned person's ancesters in the USA were captured by competing African tribes and sold to Arab
traders who then sold these folks to the slave trade. Slaves to America/Carribian islands "owned" by British overlords
to farm cotton/cane sugar to be shipped back to Britain for the textile and rum industries. While GB did outlaw
"slavery" in it's homeland and possessions early on, there was no other way for millions of former African slaves to
survive but to work the plantations for sub-minimum wages.
I find it interesting how folks can now state, "it wasn't me that did those bad things back then". Of course it wasn't
YOU that did those things. It WAS, though an economic system from which "whitey" prospered and colored folks
were kept down. Tis a fact. Reparations? How about letting go of the "I'm not a racist" theme. When was the last
time you invited a family of "black" folks to have Christmans dinner with your family?
the modern England today? my pension / retirement age is getting further away as we speak. immigration has to be paid for. and I don't have access to corbyns money tree. he wants to build more houses. what? to house the foreign builders he thinks so highly of? the man is an idiot. they will need digs to stay in. as ive said before. "you couldn't make it up"The modern England you enjoy everyday was built upon the exploitation of "lesser" civilizations across the globe. Pillaging natural resources and directing trade for English benefit. Whether you like it or not you are profiting indirectly from centuries of injustice.
For the record I don't always agree with this argument but I do understand it's merits.
FUCK OFF! lolPerhaps I AM being a little holier than thou, I apologize.
I have fun with the back and forth here. Don't mean to come off like a smart ass, don't hesitate to tell me to fuck off, we all need to hear it sometimes.

In Australia and Sydney and Melbourne in particular, our housing Ponzi scheme is based upon immigration. Immigrants bring money and buy our houses, as long as you don't accept genuine refugees. Most of our immigrants arrive by plane - we hate boat people because they usually have no money, so have to be supported on welfare.
