@@gyorkshire257 Entirely false. Any power yankville claims to have is solely derived as a gift from Britain. If you actually bother to read the treaties between the UK and yankville from the early to mid 20th centre, particularly the north atlantic treaty and the successive treaties that would eventually become the five eyes agreement, you will find that the UK welds enormous control over yankville, it's foreign policies and what its military does/doesn't. Yankville isn't completely a puppet state, it's better described as the UKs proxy attack dog. It holds this position because the UK didn't want to be bankrupted by another world war and as an answer to being seen as colonial.
I'm from malaysia. We used to be number 1 exporter of tin and rubber in the world. But at that time we were under British rule. All the revenue went to Britain. Even after they gave us independence in 1957, the rubber estates and tin mines were still owned by British companies. Only in 1970s that we can afford to buy back those companies. Yes, the British did build roads, rails and ports in our country. But that was because they need them to transport the rubber and tin, for their profit. Colonisation is robbery!
What?... ye had to BUY back that which was stolen from ye...typically Brits....Well done on yeer support for Gaza.... respect from Ireland....The Palastinians have been having an insufferable time for decades....time to get off their backs and leave them run their own lives in peace and dignity....again...well done to ye....
@@seanhartnett79 tin is no longer our main export, due to competition from aluminium and plastic for product packaging. Rubber also have competition from synthetic rubber. But, we are still number 1 producer of medical rubber glove and condom! Our main export is now palm cooking oil.

As a Brit I can't stop laughing at how accurate this is, then when my laughter dies down the sad awful truth returns, that this is very true of Britain. Our Government keeps pumping this crap in hopes it holds us together as a fig leaf for their divisive games elsewhere in society like gender, age, working and disabled, high and low earners, food bank users and well to do's. Homeless and immigration, university educated and autistic education failed. These separations of society are papered over by government with this trope of British Empire Success without saying Empire or Domination of 25% of the world. No Empire has ever been good for societies not Mongol, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, British, none. Every single one has relied upon abuse, murder, and suffering. The British were simply the most abusive, and murderous causing the most suffering all for gain of Britain, pillage and rape were the tools. As a Brit, I'm proud of our nautical achievements but never of our Empire. The Empire and now the commonwealth should be dissolved and told truthfully, not gloriously.
Love your work so surprised you’re not on the Daily Mail/GB News/Trigonometry ‘war on woke’ hit lists though unless I’ve missed something- keep up the good work
All of these I've seen are so funny and cool and we, the Brits, and TRotW need educating if they're not there already. I think we're beginning to wake up to the idea that most do not see us the way we've been "educated" to perceive ourselves!
Actually you can Google a you gov survey from March 2020 which suggests that British people's attitudes towards their former empire are well within the European mainstream. The British have very mainstream European beliefs and values on most topics. The survey is an interesting read the response of the Dutch is an absolute shocker.
I would have loved the irish to keep their original celtic language instead of becoming english speaking. The last and only celtic speaking country. Would have been cool.
Yep...I know...the people of Ireland survived the Brits but the language got bashed out of us....thats the imperialist mantra....deprive them of their land, their livelihood, their lives, their language, region and cultural identity and then they'll be beaten into submission.....the language is struggling and is well but only in pockets around the country....thank you Britain....this is what you did all around the world....and now its more of the same for Palastine....Britain handed it over to the Israelies....Peace for Gaza....
A variant of (Irish) Gaelic, called (Scottish) Gaelic is still spoken in many parts of north and west Scotland as an everyday language. Wales has a celtic language as well, and even the English county of Cornwall attempted to revive the extinct Cornish language, which is a variant of the Welsh celtic language. Even the small Isle of Man has Manx, a variant of (Irish) Gaelic. So there are many celtic speaking areas in the British Isles, but Ireland certainly leads the way as a *free* country !
The most widely spoken and thriving Celtic language is Welsh. And yet the people do not seem very enthusuastic about independence. Breton is also still spoken. It is now recognized and taught in some schools despite the ''best'' efforts of the French State to destroy it which continued until quite recently. @@dglenday8705
Well done man. The bully used to play dirty mind tricks with another one, Italy, who got harsh identity crises and self-loathing psychosis still now (he did not recover yet, spends most time locked up at home, and he's trying with hypnosis to remember his self-removed painful past)
As a Brit and for many Brits the truth is uncomfortable and most will just never learn about it. I no longer live in the UK and the drunk, Stella drinking caricture is actually one reason I moved away. I've seen that man for real, many, many times in real life. I want to be nowhere near that culture of drunkeness and football obsession.
Most of those in the United States have forgotten what the American Revolution was about and that little letter sent to Britain, “Declaration of Independence “ outlining all of the reasons to resist the British occupation. Then sadly the USA went to bed with the Great Bully. The buggers.
Funny but sadly true! And we shouldn't forget what the western branch of the developing empire did to the native American people. Unfortunately, they will never learn. And we still see the old colonial mindset of playground-style superiority, bullying, thuggery and divide-and-rule-based intimidation dominating the discussions in most right-leaning channels and dialogues.
What's interesting about that is that one of the main reasons for American independence was Britain signing treaties with the native Americans promising not to expand further into their territory in exchange for their help in the 7 years war.
I think the Hong Kongers actually want him back..lol Though it wasn't a democracy, the residents there nonetheless enjoyed greater freedoms under colonial rule. And France and Belgium definitely aren't sorry. They haven't even completely broken their neocolonial ties, much less paid reparations.
you forgot to include myanmar. british took that land and gave it to the queen as a gifted. british official told the queen that land were full of barbaric & illeterate people when that land got gems & spices. the king of myanmar were send to nepal & lived in exile untill the end of WW2.
Yeah OK but lets remember that the Burmese wars started because the Burmese empire had just conquered Mainpur, Assam and Arakam until it bordered British India. They weren't just sitting around innocently until strange men in red coats got off their boats and told them that they didn't have a country anymore.
There are differences - in the French 'Empire' they are allowed to move freely - a citizen of French Guyana is a French Citizen for example. They can vote themselves out if they wish unlike the former British Empire.
Ya no India is making its own version of colonialism now in Kashmir and brutality towards Muslim minorities in the country. Look it up its pretty much what the Brits taught them being used in full force
2:04 Actually, what would happen if he genuinely said "sorry" is that all the countries would just gang up on him at once and start kicking the crap out of him, screaming "this is what it's like! Not so fun now! You deserve this!" So he did the absolute right thing in this situation.
Mediocre skit compared to some of his other content. And the Hong Kong part doesn't fit. At all. You can bet those people would much rather still be British subjects than suffering under Beijing's oppression.
Perhaps trying having the same conversation involving a Welsh Miner or Iron Worker, a Lancashire Cotton Mill worker, a labourer digging canals, a Cornish Tin miner a family of Lincolnshire chaingang workers and see what you come up with. Not all of Britain benefited from or are responsible for what a tiny minority did or derived a benefit from. Historically most Britons were an exploited majority. Perhaps even try having the conversation from the point of view of modern Britons, involving perhaps say African, Asian, Caribbean or God forbid, the descendents of Irish migrants to modern Britain. Not everyone holding a UK passport today shares this version of British history. Modern Britain is a shared space of a range of cultures, beliefs, ethnicities. This renders the sketch as a xenophobic diatribe or even a futile attack on the long dead.
Its the “British Empire” representing the political attributions and governments of these countries, not British people. Please read the title again and understand these are not supposed to represent the people.
