Good post lew, could not agree more with a lot you also said.
Whether we like it or not, we the Brits are seen by a lot of the world as the has-been-bullies, those that ruled the British Empire with a rod of iron, who not only raped their lands but often their women to, of course not everyone who was British operated like that but I'm afraid we are all grouped together because of our title 'British' that is what we are, there is no discrimination between us, we are seen as no different to the Masters and Gentry as you rightly pointed out were the implementers of the Empire and our Goverment went along because it suited them and filled the coffers. So really there is no discrimination between us, those that do as they are told and the tellers, we are all British.
Just like there is no discriminated when a zealot or a mad crazed wicked bastard sets off a bomb in an arena with thousands of children in it, it takes out innocent children both Muslim and Christian.
I honestly don't think that any of the contributors to this discussion are very far from each other in our thinking when it come to the push. But what do we do about is armed police and military walking our streets carrying automatic weapons the answer? A idiot with a well aimed brick can get possession of and automatic weapon that can possibly fire off a hundred rounds a minute. Fucked if I know. What I do know is that I am sorry for what has lead to all this hatred and it is our children that will bear most of the brunt of it, I'm 70 and likely to go on for another ten or fifteen years my son and daughter and their children have to go on living with it and to be honest I fear it is not going to go away but most likely esculate.
Right I have now completely depressed myself where the fuck did I put that length of rope. :'(
