Colonialism Has Had Too Bad A Name?

“For the last 100 years, Western colonialism has had a bad name. It is high time to question this orthodoxy. Western colonialism, was, as a general rule, both objectively beneficial and subjectively legitimate in most of the places where it was found. The countries that embraced their colonial inheritance, by and large, did better than those that spurned it. It is hard to overstate the pernicious effects of global anti-colonialism on domestic and international affairs since the end of World War II."

Renta-Mob Rules

During the last election, there was an event which wasn't picked up as widely as it may have been, or perhaps should have been. This was the emergence of what I can only assume were left wing bullyboy tactics, who attempted to subvert democracy by threatening political opponents to stop them campaigning.

This intimidation process has been practised in the past, but only against 'far right' politicians, usually from the British National Party, who were often prevented from holding rallies, and or, were physically hounded by thugs. This behaviour was apparently agreed with in some imperceptible way, as being 'OK' for some reason. Other far right groups though, such as the English Defence League, were largely immune from this threat, because they had built in thug protection at the rallies (in the form of their own 'boys'), although the sudden resignation by its leader Tommy Robinson was allegedly after threats to his family, although this was not publicly given as a reason.
