Neither flaw applied to the British politicians who you claim were their "oppressors" (but decline to explain why).

As self-proclaimed disciples of equality their hypocrisy could not be more pronounced.
It's too bad the British have turned away from their oppressive ways. There are so many countries that have turned into absolute shitholes since becoming independent from Britain. A bloody shame you Brits lost your balls and took so much of the world with it.
