@AyoCaesar "The colonisation of India involved the transfer of huge sums of wealth and resources from the subcontinent to Europe." No it didn't. There wasn't "wealth" lying around that Indians/their overlords would have created, were it not for the Europeans. That isn't how wealth is made.

@BenRamanauskas British people were not chanting FTRTTS in 1967, 1973, 1982, 1988, 2000. If a few (the minority among the chanters) are in 2023, that is partly because British leftists are easy marks for the "marginalised", leading them into some dark places.
