Could the British Empire be Reformed? if so how?

As I wanted to make this very clear, I am posting my message in BIG, VERY OBNOXIOUS LETTERS. I say this as a Canadian.

SPEAKING AS A CANADIAN I agree, with one exception: Newfoundland would not be fair game, because they'd drop the Empire as fast as we would.

Look, Churchill. I like the British Empire. I think the British Empire is awesome. My user title is not a joke and means exactly what it says. But your genocidal monstrosity of an empire shares very little with the British Empire except geography, and I know for an absolute fact that any citizen of the real British Empire, from any time or place, would agree with me.

This is disgusting. You guys are only feeding the troll... I hope I'm not the first to report him.

I think it's the caché (do I mean cache?) of the name. Nobody wants to believe that Churchill (and we do think of Winnie) is advocating an accommodation with and imitation of Nazi Germany, so we're trying to talk ourselves into thinking he's just confused. Unfortunately, as you and dj note, this doesn't seem to be the case.

First the issue of an Imperial Federation in the past would have only included the White Dominions each having their own parliaments.
The coloured colonies would have been held has a subject people by force.

Could be linked it with Populist Nationalism and anti-immigration politics.
A more forceful approach could be the invasion of the Western Cape in South Africa and it's re-settlement with people of British stock.

Any such revolt would be quickly crushed and be popular at home as Amritsar was.
Only a few Left wing cranks and political groups would oppose it.

We both know that in Algeria and Vietnam France and America where not allowed to do what needed to be done.

Of course the usual Liberal establishment figures and Socialist Intellectuals condemned such things.[/QUOTE]

What a load of post modern Left Wing crap.
Who do you think India is the Soviet Union?
Make some realistic points please.

I think Britain would become an Axis power at that point and America would begin to fight for it's existence.

Apart from being a repulsive racist, gratuitously insulting, and incapable of having a civil argument, you're apparently pretty much batshit crazy.

Reminded me of some troll who used to say it would have been better for Britain to skip WWII and let Hitler have his way cause then the UK would have kept his empire :D (IIRC)

otherwise I'm sure the British people would have sure enjoyed rulling an empire sitting on throne of skull and bones near a river blood wearing the skin of their defeated ennemies like he described (well at least him would enjoy it, but I forget that real British aren't psycho)

Is this a serious post?
Do you think the Irish and Scottish would care what the Empire does to Blacks and Asians let alone what Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy or Colonial France would think.

do you have any idea what the Empire did to the Irish and the Scottish?


(I know you're gone - but there's a chance you'll be back; and even if you're not back, I need to type this before my inferior Welsh brain goes ka-bloooey)

I would like to claim the kill, but Roberto might have beat me to it. Not sure. Oh well, good riddance to racist rubbish.

Due to quote mixups, it looks like you're banning Ian for spouting Churchy's rubbish. ;)

Ah, cool althist idea.;) A reversed Peshawar Lancers?

Godfrey Williams, 12th Earl of Straithclyffe, imagined how the foreman would look on the altar, would scream as he saw the tools prepared and the braziers heated. The taste...

Sounds more of a cross between the Ancient Celts and Conan. Which would be awesome.
