Thats all bull! we elect prime ministers the queen or king have no say over matters! the author of that book is messed up. GET A LIFE if you arent dead already.
triggasmoke
This is bullshit, Americans dnt even have the rite 2 criticise us theyve achieved nothing compared 2 britania, and i noticed how u left out how we conquered you haha...
Long live britania, And long live the commenwealth..nd i would say USA but ure time is nearli up as a power in the world as we sail into a thousand years of being a power in the world!
Shoqkwave
British elect their leader (prime minister), the Queen has no rule over politics anymore.
Also, the poverty today is no where near as bad as it was 100 years ago, you have no point there either. And war today is mostly Americas fault, America is always itching for a war. Also Churchhill wasn't friends with Adolf Hitler, I think he visited him once, but this was before the war. What the christ, this video makes no fucking sense.
Shoqkwave
I'm surprised an American made this video/book thing too, because everyone worldwide views British the same as America back in the Empire days.
Shoqkwave
Theres alot of true points in here, the British Empire didn't 'ruin' the world, it made it much better. Even so, England now is not England back then, you shouldn't place blame on a country now, -WE- didn't commit these crimes. Also, countries such as America as proven on these comments, have done much more evil things. Its just humanity for you. Why arn't you blaming Nazi-Germany for trying to exterminate the jews?
vicunaalpacallama
The truth of the mater is that much of history is wrought with the exploitation of weaker nations by more powerful ones for financial profit. To quote Cicero: "The sinews of war are infinite money." To blame one historical empire for all the woes of humanities avarice oversimplifies reality.
vicunaalpacallama
Was the Spanish empire any less insatiable than the British when in conquered half of the new world? Perhaps this video suggests that American colonialism of the Philippines and Hawaii, conquest of the American south during the Mexican American war, numerous military interventions within the western hemisphere, CIA overthrow of the legitimate Persian government 1953, was somehow less immoral than the colonial exploits of the British.
vicunaalpacallama
To accuse the British empire for all the evils of imperialism is historically inaccurate and ignores the equal, if not greater reprehensible, acts of other empires or nation states. Take for example the conquest of the American west, which resulted in the deaths of perhaps millions of natives in what can only be referred to as genocide. Were American planters any less cruel to their slaves after the declaration of independence?
callumbus
i agree
Androidic
Just one more reply for now, I swear! Haha.
Its humanity thats wrong, not the British. Please don't think your country is perfect. America was the one who gave Iraq most of their weapons. America banned slavery, gave women and black rights AFTER Britain. War on Vietnam and Iraq. Hiroshima bomb. Just these few points are worst than the points in the video info. Also, British didn't invent concentration camps.
Androidic
And i'm certain most people agree that America isn't an angel at being a superpower, sure you can't rattle slaves around because humanity has learned that its wrong to do that now. But America has done dreadful things too, as well as other countries that has had 'superpower' status at a time. One more thing, America at the core back then was basically the British.
Androidic
The British Empire is evil? Ahahahha, someone hasn't studied history, if you did, then you'd see almost every other empire did ''evil'' things too, most of them far worse. Also, the British Empire threw everything away to save the world to stop Germany from taking over the world because Germany was far, far, far worse.
SSJSampson
The British invented 58% of the worlds technology, we wouldnt be able to see this video if it wernt for the british. We brought law and order to peoples who were canibalising each other. They still do that in Africa and rape little girls because they think it will cure aids. He is using our language and our morals to judge us its just ridiculous and no not all men are created equal, im certainly not a rocket scientist i accept that i am not equal to others in certain aspects!
Norsk1224
You know what i love about you, your so right.
SSJSampson
lol he is a classic case of a badly brainwashed American!
seanaus07
please don't dignify his uneducated racist scrawlings with any kind of emotional response. the more we talk about it the more books he will sell
Norsk1224
Well the fact is this book will be a big seller in england because there will be a massive pile up of books what we will chuck on a fire.
Help global warming.
MNorthman
England-book burning-cencorship=TYPICAL.
SSJSampson
He is just a gay hippy liberal type, 'oh my god your so evil the world will judge you oh my god!'
Gandhus
I'm not going to damn or defend any nation here but a lot of people are getting heated and invoking what they believe to be their mastery of history. Why doesn't everyone take five and look up the Balfour Declaration of 1917? Go ahead. I'll wait...
You can trace the entire Arab-Israeli conflict back to this one statement of English policy.
bullseye2121
Erm yea so America as a superpower is 100 times worse. They gave up slavery like 100 years after we did. You make crap like the patriot and dare to call it based on history. We offered slaves freedom from there American masters. Also what about the indians eh? you can talk you praticly wiped there way opf life out . Were your close allie and you tryin g to bankraupt us in my eyes i say fuck the USA.
Norsk1224
Not to mention the americans take up mosty of the worlds oil, who's really screwing up the world? Everything was peacefull untill you americans came to power.
Norsk1224
Evil empire? Wernt africans slaves in egyptian times or after carthagev wsa beaten by rome?
You seem to forget that franbce ruled more of africa than us and that some of our old collonies are in the top 20 countrys. Look at canada,kenya,australlia adn even america.
America's responsible for some of the worse atrocities in the world look at the hiroshima bomb u dumb fuck or vietnam.
I spose were the ones who are making a pigs mess of iraq?
Brawler74
Its so inacurrate its fucking hilarious. Great work dip shit.
BLUFFMAN1
the usa would not exsist if we didnt take those lands that were not ours...you stupid stupid bald reactionist fool....ahem....i'm also going to buy you book just so i can burn it.
EnglishBrit
and by the way we cleaning up america's shit, they not cleanin up ours... whoever thought this viedeo up is a complete idiot
EnglishBrit
wut kind of fucking retarded video is this.... america choses its own leaders? dont thinkso, this video is full of shit and we don't worship kings and queens anymore.... America is expanding all over the world and going into the middle east, so dont blame fucking britain for expansion when america is a total hippocrit. America was built on slavery... so what its sayin bout black slaves i dont know. We were friends wiv adolf hitler and napoleon kicked our ass? wtf is this shit
chris03151915
exactly right--just because we have a monarchy doesnt mean that we have to listen to them--they're just a political figure of respect. FUCKING AMERICANS MADE THIS VIDEO!!! u have NO IDEA what ur talking about. Fucking idiots.
khilled
this is what every evil empire is. you're just blindly point the fingure at england.
Major1862
lol...all your doing is increasing anti-American feeling in Britain...lol...fucking idiot
Britannia4ever
your that strange guy who wrote that book. give you credit, must have spent ages looking at our history and then makeing it up. what world does your mind live in, your argument is as pointless and over done as they get. Think i'll use your book to wipe my patriotic arse. (and i'm very proud you even know were africa is, good on you)
Badger9999
This video is quite amusing, it's clearly not a serious account of British history. A man who is that ignorant of history would never get a book published. I'll just point out one thing which i hear all the time, it was actually the Spanish who first used concentration camps during the Spanish-American war, not the British.
samaldredmarch2007
dont talk bollocks u gas guzzling little pricks
BritishHeroGuy
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves! Britons Never Never EVER shall be Slaves.
America Cleaning up our mess? The Empire, through all of its faults spread political thought, civilisation and civility throuought the globe, I'm not saying It was all good, buts its incredibly arragont to discount the fact that Britain made Western Society today and all of the ideals in which it stands for.
NathMack
Oh actually... sorry - you are completely right... It was britains fault that America gained independence and created the major mess of the world that exists now... So yea. Sorry world... Britain has made a mess by allowing America to do what ever the hell they want.
callumbus
and also if he is doin this then he should rite a book about the roman empire the persian alexander the greats empire and all the others not just single us out!
ryanstock1983
"Other countries Emgland invaded"? Do you really want to name every country the UK invaded and comparee them to France or Belguim on the scale of modern state corruption. Least developed country in Asia: East Timor, a Portugese colony. Least developed country in Africa: Angola, another old Portugese colony. Fuck off and leave us alone
colin164
watch what u say when u say brittish, scotland got invaded by england 2.
P.S U ARE A FAG, THIS IS BULLSHIT
colin164
they invaded us 2 (scotland),and tryed to controll us, like anyother country the tryed to take over.
bullseye2121
Omg is it just the english who have sence of history were ever i go i see scottish mouning about how they want independce. It was a scottish king who united england and scotland so blame your own people.
colin164
No It wasnt. He got choosen after they signed the union.
colin164
Dont drag scotland in to this crap you cunt.
Richmonde
yeah like that book is ever gonna get published, i dont mind americans but its guys like u that let the side down for them, sitting on ur computer all day probably like some twattish nerd who believes england is evil.
ill let u know england kicks ass and would happily kick urs if u keep spreading bullshit about it
Shoqkwave
England woukd never attack America, both countries economies would flatten. It would also be remembered as the worlds stupidiest mistake seeing as both countries have enough of their plates with other countries wanting a fight with 'em.
callumbus
excatly! and sherlock holmes didnt do cocaine and the romans and the greeks and also the persians had slaves long befor we ever did and that bout global warming is complete shit and also the thing bout africa well we had south africa now if u look at south africa 2day 2 the rest of it south africa is a pretty alrite place with houses alot of tourists no people livin in mud huts or starving to death so he dnt no what he's tlkin about!
notoriousbubs
There were other African countries that England invaded,such as Uganda,sierra leone,Gambia,Nigeria, and Ghana now look at those places compared to south Africa. Everything he is saying is factually true. It is just hard for the English to accept because,"The English never do anything wrong"I think it is about time to air out England's dirty laundry instead of criticizing everything America is currently doing.
ryanstock1983
Total shit, the U.S. clearing up Englands mess? Was it not the U.S. that destroyed the political systems of Latin America? Yes it was! Did the U.S. fund despotic regimes throughout the world during the cold war? This is sin rebuking sin. By the way, the royal family does not exercise political power in the U.K. you American twat.
DanDare007
And besides- whos going to buy a book with so much crap shoved into it.
bullseye2121
err Americans need i say more, watch his other vids u can tell how un educated the Americans are they believe every word he says. There like puppets on strings.
DanDare007
Not all americans are puppets on strings- lol, Just this Bloody Nosil
DanDare007
Seems to me that your one of those whiney little nerds, living in your basement with nothing else to do but slag of other countries. tut- tut- tut, shame on you.
calosAA
omg what absolute crap
squeakythepinisblack
i love the fact that this guy is having a go at Britain becuase of the idea that Queen Elizabeth supported the slave trade, but neglected to mention that Britain banned the slave trade, and the keeping of slaves DECADES before the americans. this guy is obviously quite%2s. this guy is obviously quite ignorant, it's easy to pick out the bad points, such as America barging into the native american's lands and forecfully removing them from their land, not to mention brutally murdering them.
robyoung1
responses from the brits are constructive and interesting, what would we get on a anti-american site?
America only giving "blacks" the right to vote in 1960, Bill Clinton an his "affairs", Bush-dont need to say anything here, veitnam, iraq war, no free health care, LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE (if your a white, middle class male), Brave?-when did u turn up in WW1 AND 2? late?-shock! when did Canada an Australia? 2 days after we did! all americas wrongs are modern...ours=old!
VT401
It's a shame that some people, like the author of this video, have the need to advertise their stupidity. Well done Sir, your video has convinced me that you are a certified bastard of the highest order.
IceSlice21
U absolute idiot. Blame another nation for the worlds problems if it wasnt for us there would be no america, no capitalist society for you to bleed the world dry dont blame us for the worlds problems coz ur nation is doing sod all to help it and what about americans they think there gods chosen people too, also cecil rhodes was victorian so attidtudes then were different. Don't start on a race due to what their ancestors done. Americans thought that Native Americans were a lesser race!
Burrellman
Lets make one about America shall we? there the ones who started the iraq war they sat on the sidelines at ww1 because there dumb president thought that it would cause a civil war in there country
astraltrader
What a crock of**** . If the corresponding book contains similar fallacies and inaccuracies it should be avoided like the plague. Obviously not released but must have escaped!
Major1862
Steriotypical Americans...they don't know what the fuck they are talking about!!!
callumbus
sherlock holmes did not do cocaine he smoked opium and he was a fictional character so what the fuck does it matter the guy who wrote that book is a fuckin prick
MNorthman
Ha ha ha...it's funny cuz it's true
bullseye2121
Well if this true and you are so gulable to believe it, it shows us that you have an IQ of 5.
ursad
Most of the info in this video is wrong, or lack or proof. How is the US clening up our mess? If there was no empire the germans would of won and taken over most if not all of the world. Also the slave trade had been going on for many many years,
samholdsworth
lol hypocritical and america dont clean our mees we clean theirs oh n teach ur so called soldiers how to shoot n what too shoot they keep killing our soldiers. dickheads
Shasui17
lol thats funny and Im British!
Burrellman
The British Empire evil? no you stupid yank you country is evil im not saying all of you are but i think your jealous of our golden age we proved a little country could be the best and we did we were the first to rapidly make cast iron cannons and that led to our navy being the biggest most powerfulest in the world and remember you speak our language you stood on the side lines while we battled the nazis you traded with germany suppling them with weapons to destroy us!
TannerProductions
I'd just like to point out the 70% of the worlds pollution can be accounted to Thomas Midgley, and American who not only invented CFC gases but also the lead additive in petrol.
peterg33
when it comes down to it, pure Americans have British blood, there's no secret why America speak english and why the US and the UK are so close.. The US is a larger England, simple as that
Saltylicious
English, please don't think we are all as ignorant as the guy who made this video. The British Empire was awesome :(
markpjd
Britain invented over 50% of the worlds inventions. The internet you are using now was devised by the British (The american version was text based, made for military use in the cold war). The langauge you are speaking is English. Stop using the things us British invented/discovered and go and live in a cave if you hate us so much!
lordflashburn
"How much do we really know about the American's?
while Britain have people who passed maths in third grade, America appears to hire monkeys to work out their ballot results,
What if I told you that America pussy footed around for 3 years during WW2 while Britain held out against the Nazi threat?
lordflashburn
that the Americans were the last bastion of slavery in the free world. a barbaric practice the British put a stop to almost 100 years before it ceased in the states, and used it's impressive naval power to impede slavers wherever they found them.
what if i told you that napolean was BEATEN you stupid yank?
lordflashburn
what if i told you that the British refused to aid the confederates by breaking the Union blockades because the 'feds wouldn't abolish slavery?
what if i told you america consumes 3/4 of the world's resources?
what if i told you that America was stil trading with germany for the first year and a half of WW2?
what if i told you "you are a fucking dumbass?"
end. asshole.
SilakuNasuwt
Oh, and one more thing, I think you'll find that Britain kicked Napoleons arse, not vice versa.
SilakuNasuwt
Ok, hmm..., and this is coming from an American... Take a look at your own nation and its many, many flaws before you critisise mine, ok?
bullseye2121
im sure if they wanted to they could stop using the machines we invented. Also without the British empire there would be no America,Canada,Australia. There would of been no industrial Revolution so = no modern day = America wouldn't have an econamy.
bullseye2121
Just like America cause we invented the machines that caused the pollution but they use them, he says it is our fault. Its like saying i made the gun and everyone who has been shot by a gun by another person he shouldn't take the blame i should it's ridiculous. I mean own up for the mistakes of America they give out the most pollution in the world,
brown47
Come and get the money if you want it!
brown47
Didn't the US supply arms to Saddam during the Iran/Iraq war? I can think of 101 ways we enriched the world, with 40% of all inventions and discoveries being acredited to the British shouldn't be too hard!
DaBrit458
(continued)
6:They supported the south up until the battle of gettysburg and only started along with many other european nations because they stopped exporting cotton
7:Britain outlawed slavery in 1804. the first nation to give it up
8:They tried to preserve native american culture with the proclamation of 1763, but the americans got pissy
9:Yea poverty everyhwee is the britain's fault.... I mean can't be america's they're perfect after all
10:your maps are wrong, the empire was much bigger
DaBrit458
1: The British elect their own leaders.... they have election just like america
2: Sherlock Holmes was fictional dippy
3:Yea and Napolean made like a 1 year empire that never equalled to british empire and the fact that we beat them back really shows how we got our asses kicked...
4:The British Prime minister only met Hitler and said he was a gentlemen, thats about it, he stil didn't like him
5:Where r u getting ur facts about Mussolini?
bullseye2121
Also this is just a way of AMerica blaming its problems on the world. What a fool also suggesting we were allies to Nazi's is an insult to all the British who died SO fuck u dickwad.
bullseye2121
i'd just like to hahaha even if 1 billion people signed i doubt we would give away 51 trillion dollars any time soon. This guy is obviously a complete fool. Also i may point Out that Maxim was American the Machine gun was an american invention He was born in the USA and moved over here later in his life, I mean do some research atleast.
santos2577777
Yeah the English are so evil that he is speaking in English. Oppps maybe he is a messenger of Evil England and this message is to stir up English patriotism. Thanks makes us remember how fucking great we are.. Lol..GREAT BRITAIN don't forget now.!!
AngloAmerican81
It makes me sick that someone the the US would make this. No other nations are so similar to us in culture and heritage as the UK&commonwealth are to the United States. There are more English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish in the country than there are in the Isles. Were more than allies were FAMILY!
Major1862
Oh my God...please tell me this is a joke...lol
The stability and industrialisation that Britain and now America have brought to the world is tremendus!
crystalpalacecasual
hahahaha, fuck off america, wheres your world trade centre? you fat fucking useless yank cunts, cant even find a raghead in a cave
lordflashburn
dude, don't sink to their level, just use the classical british traits of irony, cynicism and you know.. humour... they don't understand any of these so they just end up making themselves look even more retarded, which makes it funnier for us :P
rulebritannia1
And don't forget brits did die in those towers as well
crystalpalacecasual
you know what i wont forget? the fact that 75% of all funds to the terrorist IRA came out of the USA, and the USA is responsible for the IRA even existing to cause terror, so let the yanks have their WTC, fuck the bastards, i hate them, i just wish i could get hold of the author of this new book, id send that cunt to palestine wrapped in an american and israeli flag
pissmunk
I'm not even British. But that might be the stupidest video I have ever seen. The makes of that organization should really cease their hamburger diet and get the facts right.
Bad inventions? Yes, no one likes that telephone!
TheGreatBritishLion
Why can't Americans tell the difference between bollocks and...well, I suppose it's all they actually speak.
Get a job you bloody work-shy piece of shite.
Bloody Ulcered Sphincter of Arserica.
Mithguard
Lame show, people sre jealous of the British, so they say bad things about us. Its stupid they have nothing better to do but ruin other peoples live. THE BRITISH ARE THE BEST! The only evil empire i know of was the Roman Empire. The two empires were totally different British empire was way more orgainized and better. The Roman empire was screwie they killed and took whatever they wanted. THE BRITISH EMPIRE RULES!
Camlo1
1. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character.. I don't see how he's relevant?
2. With the help of our allies, we defeated Napoleon.. twice. Some "ass kicking" he gave us.
3. The American government invaded and colonized the lands of the Native Americans under the banner of "The Manifest Destiny"; a God given right to own America.
worthy99
The historical innacuracies are too numerous too list, as are the instances of hypocracy. Suffice to say, that whatever their faults, the British did at least leave a legacy of law, language and liberal democracy while America's legacy looks set to amount to nothing more than McDonalds and pollution!
Ultimately this is simply the work of a wind-up merchant out to make money. How sad that the "American Dream" should have become a thing of such pure cynicism! Shame on you!
Serenbrennykov
RULE BRITANNIA-Remember that many in USA are decedents of this "evil". And you forget that at its height the Empire had that as well :) We only lost it because the yanks had the support of the French, Dutch, Spainish and Portugese. We didn't want it anyway its full of fat ignorant people. Long live Britain
brown47
what about that crap about us inventing the concentration camp. that is just slanderous. i bet he was referring to "death camps" like the Nazi's had. big difference between the two. a concentration camp is a holding camp, like guantanamo
brown47
How can this video possibly say that we don't elect who rules us? we have national elections every 4 years!
flippydoha
*Long
flippydoha
A few points...
1: Without Britain, The United States of America would not exist.
2: Britain outlawed slavery in 1804. A good sixty years before the civil war.
3: America continued a state of neutrality to Germany up until 1917 before entering world war one with the allies, despite German U-boats sinking American ships and killing American citizens on numerous occasions before this.
4: Love live the British Empire.
Mattythewelshman
Plus I maybe wrong but where we not the First Civilisation to band slavery?
maxi1crawf
I have never heard such a load of incorrect rubbish in my life! more of the claims in this video apply to the us then ever applied to the British Empire, and make your mind up is it England or Britain? Plonker.
brown47
Britain was one of many empires at the time. we were merely the most successful at it. To call it evil and the source of all problems in the world could not be more wrong. We are putting right many more problems than the USA.
