In all fairness, I fully agree with the Independence movement - colonialism was a magnificent display of power and over-achievement for a tiny island nation but the methods employed were despicable and I am deeply ashamed we have yet to recognise them.

Nevertheless, I still maintain if we weren't busy thrashing Napoleon in Spain and France then we would still be ruling America - which would be a travesty for democracy.

Also - I will never forgive the dumping of tonnes of perfectly good tea into the sea. What a waste! (Jokes, the symbolism was very important).

P.S. I'm a history graduate so I know this stuff objectively!
