Lives in the past??? What an ignorant comment - the past shapes the future tremendously and this is what Lord Hurd talks about, he is proud (quite rightly) of Britain's past - we should not put a blanket over us and wittle down into a second rate nation with no influence or say. That is not and never has been the British way.
@waggles1989 An empire which killed, traded slaves, tortured, created the first concentration camp in Africa... I don't think there is much to be proud of. I am not talking about British Empire only but of them in general...
@IlGiglioNero Generally all empires, dynasties, regimes and powers have dark parts of their history. Thats is of course not an excuse; but, i do believe the British Empire spread much good throughout the world. Good I will not go into on youtube.
@IlGiglioNero I don't think so. I travel around the world and wheneven I go back to Britain, I have noticed that we have an enormous appetite for degrading ourselves as a nation. We are regarded very highly in so many nations (especially in the Commonwealth). And what we can do is amplify our trade with China and India (this would be easier since India is a part of the Commonwealth).
@IlGiglioNero ...Britain is still resented in some parts of India and all we have to do is send the Queen there for a week long state visit and apologise for some wrong-doing and at the same time remind them that had it not been for us, they would not be where they are. Her visit to UAE was very successful and now we have much more cordial relationship with them. And billions of pounds worth of trade would take place with the UAE in future.
@IlGiglioNero Of course it is. And it won't be this "easy" also but it can be a good start. It's time for us not to be so sycophant to the USA and carve a new role.
