Douglas Hurd is a Royal Arch Freemason and paedophile, like his son Thomas who works for MI6. Hurd was 'advised' by now head of MI6 John Sawers who answers to the Rothschild banking family/house of Rothschild freemasons. Britain pays more in 'interest' on 'debts' to these bankers every year than she does on her Primary School education budget.
@Tefivalley123: Nonsense – tripe parallels between The Reich and bolshevism and the British Empire shows a deep and glaring ignorance of history. Clearly, economically/socially/politically the differences are grave. Generalisations like the one you made only drives a vicious cycle of sterotypes. The counterfactual idea that somehow empires are/were all the same is as wrong as similarising all the planets in the solar system. They’re clearly all very unique.
@shahideurope Pretty standard gameplan, support your favoured dictator for as long as its possible. when it becomes unsustainable, do a complete 180, deny you ever supported them and make yourself out to be some championing force for democracy (until you can find another dictator to replace the one you just lost) big powers like Britain and the United States have done it countless times since the second world war.
I think Lord Hurd is spot on. Nostalgia for Britain's imperial age remains throughout the Commonwealth. Of course there were patches of distaste and negative subjugation of countries, nevertheless the fact remain: Britain's Empire offered an array of good to the world, far more than the 'empires' that succeeded it (Nazism, Bolshivism, Meiji Japan). Countries do recognise this. We should not malign our past, we should take pride and comfort of our history and use it to elevate our future.
@waggles1989 right, invading countries and taking them over against the will of their populations, then proceeding to plunder them of their resources for the sake of enriching small number of already incredibly rich men counts as 'patches of distaste and negative subjugation' to you? Tell that to the Indian population. Do i need to remind you that they never had to suffer through another famine after the Briitish left? I'm sure there isnt mich 'nostalgia' for mass starvation there.
@AntillRS All Empires have dark periods, human nature and history is full of it. But you cannot honestly say the British Empire, considering its global presence, was any darker than Nazism or Bolshevism. Indeed, it stood against those forces of perpetual evil.
@waggles1989 Empires only exist to serve the few who have power and privilige. usually to make those people richer. and they work by taking over lands and people against their will. its totally wong in principle and in practice. they dont work to help the oridinary masses, and any rights or priviliges are always won through a hard fight. they are never just given out by the rulers in these empires. you sound like a nationalist who wishes Britian still had an empire. grow up.
@AntillRS Your ignorance & ability to lay ill informed judgement on me is astounding. Im patriotic yes, yearn for the return of Empire, no. I was drawing a comparison between Empires of the past, clearly some - in a very generic sense - were better than others. Ive been to India a number of times, its a fantastic, vibrant nation. A great majority of the 'masses' do look back on the Empire with a sense of appreciation & nostalgia, there is an understanding that British rule was a mixed blessing.
@waggles1989 You're missing the point. To say one imperial empire was better than another because they did some good is like saying Hitler was better than Stalin because he encouraged innovation in the Arts & Sciences. Do we advocate the Third Reich & Hitler because they did some good things? Imperial empires are terrible things, and unless you recognise that i dont think you can be taker seriously It was alot more than 'patches of distaste and negative subjugation of countries'.
@SirOneoneselfandone He was one of the strongest supporters of Slobodan Milosevic in the wars in former Yugoslavia. I suppose you know who Milosevic was... After the war Milosevic recompensed mr. Hurd while he was working for NatWest bank, securing lucrative business to the bank in post-war Serbia. See also the article on Wikipedia.There is a lot of blood on his hands...

@TeifiValley123 Hurd is a sick bastard, I hate him with a passion, he stood alone in Europe in support of the Bosnian Serb genocide plan.

Lord Hurd is correct. We should not agree with the White House on everything and amplify our trade with China and India.
