Half of the United Kingdom wants a return of colonialism

Poll taken earlier this year reveals over 44% of Britons wanted a return to colonialism and thought the Empire was a good thing. Another 20% held no opinion, less than 40% thought it was bad.

Considering all the propaganda against colonialism, this is impressive... If the United Kingdom manages to make it though the coming happening intact, could we see a return of the Empire?

Does this mean they're going to try to take the 13 colonies back?

Please save us, dad.

Soon lads.. Soon..

Was the British Empire really that bad?

If not then I am just fine with them taking back what is theirs...

It did good things and bad things.

It was an Empire like others from the same time.

Why do so many Brits think it was better? Because they realise they have little to no global influence without it. The Empire was the anchor for Britain's place in the world, without it they're adrift at sea.

>Implying we ever did anything wrong
All we did was help get rid of a few gollywogs and poo-in-the-loos and given the chance we'd do it again.

As far as empires go it was pretty benign

It was really was comparable to modern day America except whereas US influence is through corporations and puppets the British made their presence officially known. Outside of the crown colonies Aus, Canada, NZ etc local rulers kept the power and the whole system was just built to service British corporations

>Because they realise they have little to no global influence without it. The Empire was the anchor for Britain's place in the world, without it they're adrift at sea.
This, from Ireland of all people.
Fucking micks I swear. Not seeing the famine through was the biggest mistake in British history.

Also that's not to say the natives got nothing out of it

The corporations built infrastructure and the British brought their political institutions with them to their colonies. The lasting effect of British influence of their colonies does mean they tend to be better off because British institutions are best institutions

Britain is a shadow of itself without the Empire and it doesn't have the influence it had while the Empire was around. To deny this is to deny reality.

Oh and I'm a Brit visiting family by the way, so good job with the Irish comment you stupid wanker.

...

keep the hood safe H

According to a colonial studies text book I used back in the day the empire:
>deliberately engineered famines in Ireland and India repeatedly for political/economic purposes
>intentionally left their subjects wholly unprepared for self-governance resulting in a completely fucked up geopolitical situation

Sounds pretty fucked up to me.

In a fantasy world the return of a British Empire/Commonwealth would be great.

In reality, I can only hope for stronger ties between the Commonwealth. The REAL Commonwealth, not this shit where fuckin Nigeria or something is in. Pretty much CANZUCK countries. I just want us to be friends again ;-;

yes

That's because UK is racialist as fuck. If not for emergence of UKIP, BNP would have 14-20% of the vote.

REEEEEEEEEE

Brexit is not going to happen. Britain is a thing of the past.

>intentionally left their subjects wholly unprepared for self-governance resulting in a completely fucked up geopolitical situation
>their subjects were wholly incapable of self-governance resulting in a completely fucked up geopolitical situation
FTFY

Make America Great Britain Again

The empire was incredibly benign, we took most of our land with a minimum of warfare, mostly naval battles or skirmishes with tribes. There were deaths of natives, most notably in Tazmania, but mostly the natives were needed for labour rather than killed. Britain didn't even kill that many native americans.
The empire was built on colonisation and mercantilism, rather than war and conquest.
Britain entered hostile, barren places and built infrastructure and civilization.

The British empire wasn't perfect, but was a much nicer place to live than many empires throughout history. Especially for whites

Colonize: Germoney, Spain, Turkey, Canadia, and as much of Africa you can grab from China.

brexit is a bad idea, #bettertogether

>China
Still laugh at how utterly BTFO china was by britain. It was called the century of humiliation for a reason

you fucking autist
i didnt even need the burger above to tell me that

Except this time they have nukes and the Chinks will use them to genocide the Brits and everyone else they can rather than let China fall to that again. Also as an American fuck the British Empire.

Keep the hood safe, H.

If we leave the EU the plan is to slowly create a Federation with the Commonwealth so this doesn't surprise me that much. Many of our Commonwealth immigrants from Africa and India are actually quite patriotic. The real enemies of Britain are the young white middle class university students who loathe everything about this country.

I think Canada is beyond help though, but Brits Aussies and Kiwis are pretty much the fucking same so might as well unite as one in a very devolved Federation.

>yfw the God Empress Elizabeth is clinging to life just so she can see some hope for the future of Britain.

Fucking shitholes across the world fucking need a good dose of colonialism and Great Britain has been proven to be the best at administering it.

Do the entire fucking world a favour and give us free reign again.

Everywhere we went, we bettered

If a few fucking wogs suffered for it it was for the greater good and they were better off under us than otherwise.

Russia and US would assist to shot the Chinese nukes down. Russia has deep rooted hate for Chinese and created ethnic targeting weapon under Krusxhev which is capable of wiping out entire yellow race. Yep, japs would go too, weebshits.
t. grandad is a high ranking intelligence officer

BRING BACK THE EMPIRE

I hate idiots who insist that we genocided the Injuns.
It was disease, you retards.

As far as Empires go it was probably the kindest but yes of course it did many bad things.

The fact that it's the only European Empire to retain good relations with its former colonies and that most of them retain the British form of Parliamentary Government speaks volumes though.

There are still embers of the Empire left, perhaps enough to start a fire but time is running short.

The empire did many bad things but overwhelmingly it was a source of good as it matured and progressed it generally became more altruistic.

I wish the empire was back.

God save our gracious queen
Long live our noble queen
God save the queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the queen

In days of yore from Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain
Here may it wave our boast our pride
And joined in love together
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined
The maple leaf forever

God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat
God defend our fee land
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand

Australians all let us rejoice
for we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea
Our land abounds in natures gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
Let every stage of history's page
Advance Australia fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair

>Family are Irish
>Be the son of Irishmen
>"Hah see, I'm not a mick!"

Fucking micks.

Well we have a new George in line for the throne so you never know.

>and thought the Empire was a good thing.
It was though, even niggers know it was and beg for our rule.

lel.

Brits can fuck off

Look at the Spanish and French colonies and judge for yourself.

A lot of their poorer African shit states have asked for it before.

During Sierra Leone's intervention the local Africans used to beg the British soldiers to recolonise the country because things were at least stable.

>tfw your Grandad fought for the Empire in its final years in a colonial scuffle.

I play this anthem every morning when I have my breakfast along with our royal anthem, the Australian anthem and New Zealand anthem.
I wonder what the neighbours think of me

Without or without the Tribal part?

...

NEW BRITISH EMPIRE WHEN
RETURN TO ABSOLUTE MONARCHY WHEN

Umm first off nukes aren't easy to shoot down. Also releasing ethnic plagues isn't smart. Because there is a good chance that you will end up killing yourself Ivan. Because guess what you have mongoloid genes. Russians are only half white.

I really hope so. Anything is better than watching them an hero by cuckoldry.

Apparently some people in Belgium's former colonies say the same thing.

It's actually really fucking sad. To them the Europeans weren't evil overlords, they were providers who just abandoned them one day.

>Chinese nukes
>Implying cheap Chinese copies will actually lift off successfully and not just blow up on the launchpads.

lel.......

Faggot, Sup Forums memes aren't comprehensive genetic studies.

>over 44% of Britons
>Britons

Those welsh sure are evil imperialists

>grandpa left Hungary to move to Canada and join the Canadian army
>great uncle left Hungary to Australia and join the Australian army
>entire family supports the monarchy
>entire family wants the red ensign back
>eat dinner from a "Made in the British Empire" plate

Its half their fault and half not. The Brits didnt want to leave till each country was ready for it but both internal pressure from independence groups and the eternal Yank made them leave before those countries were ready to handle that pressure.

Is that you?

I would.

youtube.com/watch?v=1csr0dxalpI

Commonwealth Federation when?

Is there even recordings of it without the tribal part?

...

Entirely possible.

If you looked hard enough you could probably find a recording of the entire anthem thats like 3-4 times as long.

>Umm first off nukes aren't easy to shoot down
False. You underguesstimate current tech. The problem is the quantity of nukes, can't stop them all.

I think they will be skipping India

I usually like older recordings of anthems, the voices sound better to me and it's better than the modern interpretations you often find online.

Indians know they fucked up by telling us to leave, they know it deep down. They just don't want to admit it because of pride, even though literally half of their population shits in the streets.

Does anyone have that video of that based indian chap interrupting a live news report shouting to vote to leave the EU?

>tfw you see a non-native patriot of your country

Yeah thats what I meant. If you shoot one at a city it can be stopped. However if you shoot a dozen at a city, well that city is fucked.
Is that you?

Indians have a lot of pride in their country for some reason. They'll pretend there's nothing wrong with it and that it's a first world country

>dad

kys you'reself

Found the Québécois. Hope you're not spending all those equalization payments in one place you papist snow-wog.

>Alberta
>immigrating to the Canada less than 100 years ago and pretending to be superior because your ancestors moved where there was oil

Lol

Hey Russian guy how come you hate Chinese? I mean I don't know much of Russian history but for the most part you were a European nation you dealt in European affairs you fought against Europeans you were European. I mean you guys haven't had some giant war against China or Japan. I mean I can understand you guys hating Germany, or Turkey, or America because of historical conflict but why would you give a damn about Chinese? The only Asians I know you fought were the Japanese. And even though you lost, it was a small war not important at all.

If Britain leaves the EU they should band together with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and create a Commonwealth Union within the greater Commonwealth.

Britain would go from being an immigrant magnet that gets consistently outvoted in the EU parliament to being the most dominant country in a union that is more ideologically aligned, has very similar levels of development throughout, and largely due to geographical distance there wouldn't be the constant, incomprehensible drive towards increased centralization and bureaucratic expansion.

We could have a union that is more tangibly meaningful than the one that currently exists and that is more aligned to British values than the one they currently have. Instead of abandoning their culture and identity for some vague hope of creating a "united Europe" they could exist within a union that is predicated upon the celebration and preservation of our shared culture and heritage.

Trade your "ever closer union" with Europe for a more perfect union with your brothers and sisters on distant shores.

Chinese encroachment on Russian land probably.

They're like Pakistanis, Pakistanis have this sense of pride in Pakistan, that it's "great country" and shit like that, when we all know it's just a safe haven for the Taliban and should have been nuked long ago.

I don't, Indians are weird, you get based ones and you get the stinky shit ones.

Weird place.

You re-establish colonialism, look at the territories you're taking back

I mean, sure, you get
>Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ireland, New England

But you also get

>Africa, the Middle East, India

The above listed would probably stay pretty much as they are now, they're prosperous independent countries with functional societies. Re-claim the below listed and you basically open the floodgates. You'd have to immediately conscript the entire male population of Britain just to secure the territory, and blow your economy to pay for it. Hell, the Empire mainly dissolved because it was more trouble than it was worth.

I wish you well (though I wish you'd stop shitting on us when we have far more to complain about with you than you do about us), but man, between this, the Muslim infestation, and the Tories, it's like the more Britain tries to reclaim former glories, the more it pisses away present opportunities to thrive.

Oh god user, how I wish this would happen. United we would be unstoppable.

...

Quebec has no leverage over the rest of Canada, them leaving would probably benefit the rest of us.

Who bailed you out when no one else would?

Yeah.

Also we were doing very well in Egypt and the Middle East before the Suez Crisis, fuck even Israel and Palestine were peaceful and friendly to each other before the Zionists started shit.

Even the fucking Saudis admit that removing Brits from Egypt and the Middle East was a big mistake and it's part of the reason why Arabs are backward, because they've not modernised or transitioned to democracy which was and is needed.

youtube.com/watch?v=GvvvomANbRo

Saudi Cleric basically explains it, I don't like Saudis at all but this one is pretty redpilled and calls out the nation and Arabs in general for being lazy fucks.

And Ireland, one step at a time alright.

Allahu snackbar?

>what have we given them?
>oil, the religion of Islam
Oh my god that other guy...

>muh bailout
First of all, the "no one else would", we had packages from the EU and IMF, but we wouldn't have needed them if the ECB hadn't put a gun to our head and made us underwrite 64 billion owed by failed banks, the majority to British banks who pumped money into an obvious housing bubble here. Your "bailout" was nothing more than protecting your own banking system. It's already been paid back in full, so you can piss right off with that. I'll laugh when your ridiculous housing bubble pops and you've pissed away every friend who could've ever helped you out.

As for the "would'ves", there was no way for the Empire to continue in the US-USSR polarised world. It was relinquish willingly or lose control and bankrupt yourselves trying to retain it. As it stands, most of the land area of the former British Empire is in turmoil one way or another. I don't dispute your given reasons (underdeveloped cultures that pissed away what they were given), but I'm amazed you want any of it back. You'd think you'd want to fix the North of England or even NI before setting ambitions further afield again. Britain is fucked enough without dealing with running an empire again.

Yes. Not a homo.
We hate non-Whites in general. Saying something like "I wish all colored people were dead" or "we should nuke Africa" wouldn't surprise people at work, date or university. In fact, many would agree. Point is, Russians know that genocide is inevitable part of progress.
Commonwealth Union with ditching Commonwealth and closing non-Western immigration sounds like a better idea.
Arabs being complete subhuman barbarians gives good excuse for cutting them to 0.

No there will be no return of the Empire. The empire was made in a time where Europeans were vastly more organized and technologically superior than the colonized people and guerrilla fighting had not been perfected.

Yes the British Empire committed atrocities and at the same time their governance brought science, technology, government and law which are the cornerstones of human civilization.

Only one former colony (non-dominion) has improved its own standard of living and economic strength after colonization and that colony is Singapore. It can be argued that India is stronger as well.

However, introducing technologies at the price of senseless deaths is contrary to civilization and it should be recognized. The White man's burden is not an excuse towards killing people. If only the British Empire was an empire in which all those under the empire were citizens and treated fairly and with respect - not as beasts or lesser beings.

>Canadians will undoubtedly be treated as lesser beings under the new empire.

keep the hood safe H

FUCKING TRY IT YOU LIMEY CUNTS

>treated as lesser beings
They were, are, always will be. Blood is thicker than water.

Please no

How are they lesser beings?

Millions in the empire fought for King and Country.

Millions of horses served us too

They should start by making their gambling sites legal here in America, bitcoins n shit

>propaganda against colonialism
Ah yes, it's "propaganda".

Presumably if the roles were reversed, the people who support colonialism would be just as happy to have it down to themselves?

It is propaganda. If the roles were reversed it would still be propaganda. It's just that the reverse at least is propaganda for the benefit of the nation, instead of Jews trying to make whites ashamed of our glorious history.

They can't even get a hold of their own kingdom and they pretend to take anything back, first take back your country from the muslims and then we'll talk.

>If the roles were reversed it would still be propaganda.
So if you were put into a concentration camp/starved to death/had his resources stolen by a foreign empire, you would call it "glorious"?

Cuck.

Strong lives, weak dies.

Except in real life there's this thing called "Human Rights" but you wouldn't know about that because you spend all your time playing computer games and living in fictional universes where "Strong lives, weak dies".

So euphoric.

Soon...
