In his brilliantly illuminating new book Sathnam Sanghera demonstrates how so much of what we consider to be modern Britain is actually rooted in our imperial past. In prose that is, at once, both clear-eyed and full of acerbic wit, Sanghera shows how our past is everywhere: from how we live to how we think, from the foundation of the NHS to the nature of our racism, from our distrust of intellectuals in public life to the exceptionalism that imbued the campaign for Brexit and the government’s early response to the COVID crisis. And yet empire is a subject weirdly hidden from view.
The British Empire ran for centuries and covered vast swathes of the world. It is, as Sanghera reveals, fundamental to understanding Britain. However, even among those who celebrate the empire there seems to be a desire not to look at it too closely - not to include the subject in our school history books, not to emphasise it too much in our favourite museums.
At a time of great division, when we are arguing about what it means to be British, Sanghera’s book urges us to address this bewildering contradiction. For it is only by stepping back and seeing where we really come from that we can begin to understand who we are and what unites us.

Really…? The powers that be have flooded a first world country with third world people, whatever modern Britain is it’s certainly nothing like the Britain of days of old, the skeleton of tradition is there but the flesh stripped away and replaced… To the people of colour complaining, if you don’t like it you can always go home… You seem to be trying very hard to make where you are where you were…

Bob you’re a stupid guy! The things you like are nearly dead & more interesting people are going to replace you. For the rest of us there’s some fun in watching how scared change makes you, but it would be better still if you just closed your mouth, never opened it again, and let people trying to work together for better get on with it.

stick to erotica and M&M Romance. These grown up books are not for you to talk about.

Another great upload, thank you. Do you have Edward Said’s “Culture and Imperialism” ?

I think you’ve just disproved your own theory that Britain isn’t like days of old, the racism is strong in this one.
