I am British, unfortunately. And as hard as I try to shake off that burden I probably never will. These 3 images below are difficult to view but highlight the reality of British History. We were pillagers, we committed genocide on every continent and denied it in our history books. Our prosperity is the result of pain and suffering, and no Brit should ever forget this, or deny it.
