Mangetout, your view of Britain abroad is very one sided; much of what we did though not all admittedly was TRADE, as in the early part of our relationship with what was to become India. And just another interesting thing; under the last 100 years of British rule in India, for example, fewer people were killed by police than in the time since independence (excluding Partition). The rise and fall of empires, countries, societies is a perfectly normal human process reflected across the world; look at the Arab empire, Shaka and others. We also put a lot in. So I take it that what Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in order to expand it’s empire is ok with you too as it’s a perfectly normal human process?

The British Empire largely expanded through trade and explorers, with Empire building being forced along behind sometimes very reluctantly. Whereas the Russian invasion is a brutal subjugation of a democratic neighbour, Nazi style. Though the history of the area is so complex that frontiers seem never to last too long. Though the Pontic Greeks did manage 3000 years.

And they all lived happily ever after. The End.

@ Houpla : Suicide bombing ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse_chemical_factory_explosion@ mom, on a more serious note every one of us has a different logic that is set out according to our birth, experience and belief. That will always present problems for humans until they are no more. on another tack. Embarrassment like all problems is/are in the mind. That's not part of the plan! Reproducing Miracle-Gro is.... As for all problems being in the mind, well, I'd suggest that French civil servants and French bureaucracy are very real, tangible problems.

Is the definition of ‘getting too old and should be wrapped up in a blanket in a bath chair each morning’, not having the foggiest idea of where a thread in Forum is going..😀

The British Empire largely expanded through trade and explorers, …… what about deviation…… and the crafty handshake’s (like that at the end of the clip that I couldn’t post) ?
