the pretense that the british empire was all just an accident really gets old. it really is time for british citizens to stop pretending that their army has been in oreland for eight to nine hundred years by accident and that the british are not responsible for what it does. it is the first line of defense by fascists and racists to pretend it never happened or to pretend it was all a mistake and its not the fault of the peopler and government who sent the troops who accted so badly. there were thousands of acts of war crimes done by the british army during the rebellion and many more in northern ireland.

this isn'tnew. i'm a quarter acadien. eastern canadian french, we were ethnically cleansed by the british army i 1755and deported from out homes in nova scotia and new brunswick and prince edward island to the ends of the earth. famlies were split all the property seized and land taken and never returned. the on going policy of the british empire was war crimes .remebering the past accurately is the first sterp to correcting it.

remember what milan kundera said

"the fight to remember is the fight against tyranny"
