Brexit

[cdnmatt]

May I remind you all that you are talking about the United Kingdom, not some third world backwater tinpot dictatorship. In the last century it wasn't Britain that had a slump and people starving to death, it was America, it wasn't Britain who started two world wars, it was Germany

No, but you did colonize about a third of the world. It was just never officially called a world war.

The UK just ended up winning out, so instead of going down in the history books as "invading" other nations, you just "colonized" them. Same shit, different pile, but colonizing sounds much more peaceful.
