[QUOTE="Cymro, post: 203052"] Hmm I somehow doubt the British Empire was directly involved in allowing Mugabe come to power! Its quite an easy thing to blame others for faults. The French and Dutch must also take some of the blame. Now dont get me wrong the Apartheid was a dreadful thing to happen but to blame it on England is pretty poor, even if you say indirectly you still are blaming it! Your second point is very true! There is alot of conflicts in Africa in general, Nigeria, Mali, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone have all had noteable conflicts. It quickly ties in with the point about Mugabeland! South Africa have really not said anything about him almost destroying the country, actually has destroyed it! Im quite suprised no one has stood up or are we awating for the UN to step up ... we shall have to wait another 10 years for anything to be done! racist... that's almost laughable australia is a multicultural country consisting of people from nearly every ethnic background from around the world, me being one of them. approx 200 years ago, britian were sending prisoners out here as you say, but since the last century, a lot of things have changed in Australia. [/b][/quote] But its partly true! Australia have been harsh to its [SIZE=2]Indigenous Australians! If I remember off the top of my head did someone not have to apologise for the Stolen Generation? Theres more points on the wikipedia site: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Australians"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Australians[/url] To be honest England are probably one of the most hated sports teams in the world in football, rugby and cricket! This is down to its past history when it was a superpower and ruled vast amount of land across the world and sometimes not in the greatest form either, in which many poeple were jealous!
