The British Empire, Colonialism and Turmeric Tories

Image
The UK is still running on wealth generated and extracted from Colonization and Slavery. Just imagine, from India alone the UK extracted about $45 trillion during the period 1765 to 1938. All over the Empire the UK was able to extract enormous amount of wealth, importing resources on the cheap, over 250 years of free slave labour, while exporting finished products from the UK, on the high. Slavery and Colonization was like fuel to the Industrialization of the UK and why it became the biggest economy in the world. In 1870 around quarter of the global Manufacturing output was in the UK. Cambridge University - The estimates suggest that these trades grew substantially over the period, reaching a magnitude equivalent to about 11% of the British economy by the early nineteenth century What did invasion, conquering, subjugating, genocidal murder, slavery and colonization mean for European and their descendants? For Europeans and their descendants , Slavery was to wealth, what the Big Bang wa...

The Commonwealth of Nations - Jamaica's Future?

Image
The 54 member state of the Commonwealth of Nations was founded on December 11, 1931, back then it was called the British Commonwealth. The Commonwealth of Nations is one of the most useless and worthless organization and I challenge anyone to show how being a member of this dog and pony show contributes to our lives or our development. What does it add to our daily existence? As of 3 February 2020, 31 out of the 54 member states were Republics!  The Commonwealth of Nations represents one of Great Britain’s biggest failure since losing its brutal empire but that is by design.

The British have never defined their relationship with the Commonwealth Realms or Nations as a “ Special Relationship ”, that title is reserved for the United States of Am...

The British Cornish Pasty vs. The Jamaican Beef Patty

Image
I love my Jamaican Beef Patty and I do love the English Cornish Pasty. I am not sure which one came first or if they are even related but the concepts are the same. Take a delicious baked crust and fill it with tasty meaty goodness. In the case of a Cornish Pasty that tasty goodness is chunks of Genuine beef cooked with potatoes and swedes (turnips) and for an Authentic Jamaican Beef Patty,  the finest Genuine Jamaican beef. Maybe the English Cornish Pasty is related more to the Jamaican Meat Loaf than the Jamaican Beef Patty. What does a Cornish Pasty and a Jamaican Beef Patty Have in common? The British Government decided to impose a 20% VAT (Value Added Tax) on hot Cornish pasties. This resulted in a nation wide protest lead by the people of Cornwall against the proposed tax. Even people living in Calumet, Michigan, USA gathered a petition of 500 signatures to show their support. In the end the government was forced to reverse its plans to impose VAT on Cornish p...
