But the British Empire was a force for good, so we are told. I'm glad they've looked after the Scottish economy for the last 313 years!pic.twitter.com/4pZsutFld2

Read the Anarchy by William Dalrymple it tells the story of the East India Company and how they plundered India with the help of UK parliament. At one point the company had more troops than the UK.

Dalrymple is so good on this topic! iirc India went from accounting for about a quarter of global GDP to accounting for a few percent during this period. And every year a deficit was posted for it in the British books! Centuries of creative accounting.
