We did our bit...... no, I dont suppose the British Empire did actually do the job, but at the time it was, ostensibly, a step, a series of steps, along the way. As Mahatma Gandhi said when asked what he thought of British civilisation: 'I think it would be a very good idea' and of course he is right. He is still right today. We in Britain are no further along the road than anyone else: I do not hold up the life I lead, or the society I live in here in UK as better than you in Timbuktoo or wherever. What I do say, and you may disagree, is that the Empuire could have been far, far worse than it was. As I say, we did our bit. Not always right, not always for the right reasons, but history shows we played our part.
