Guest Lox, you tell us that Boers remember British cruelty.
Why do you think that? I have met Afrikaners and never get that impression.
Most Boers supported Britain in WW1 just 14 years later, and again in WW2.
South Africa was suspended from the British Commonwealth over their racial policies, but they were happy to rejoin when they sorted it out.
Equally false claims of historic emnity between us and Kenya have recently appeared on this forum.
It is just not true. The old Empire are Britain's friends and allies.
