You hear a lot lately bemoaning the former British empire, those wanting reparations, apologies, but mostly just lots and lots of attention. Regardless, when you consider it, where would the world be today without the influence of the British empire?

Ireland, today, has a smaller population than it did prior to the potato famine.

The nags on The View think England should pay reparations.

India? Weren’t they a thriving empire in the sub continent prior to complete British exploitation and resource thievery?

To be fair they all came over here. There are 32 million people in the US of Irish descent and only 7 million Irish back in Ireland.

Not a colony, but Palestine hasn't improved post British involvement.

To Africa at that, and it shows that they’re idiots. If there’s a country they should be paying reparations to, it is bar none Ireland.

That area was usually pretty well split up between several factions.

Why just England? What about literally every other Western European nation outside of maybe Switzerland?

Sure, the British are responsible for all of the technological advances the past century that made the world a better place. Authoritarian government is always the solution.

Be careful, you are saying something that makes people uncomfortable. So no matter how truthful what you say is, you are in danger of being banned.
