Turns out we have a long, non-illustrious history of dickishness and surprise surprise we don’t get taught about it in school. Nor is it splashed over the front cover of the Mail. There were a few stories that made me think, ok, we weren’t the only country being dicks at this point in history (e.g. the many many horrible things we did whilst empire building) and then I remembered that actually you CAN judge past deeds by today’s standards and yes, we were dicks.
Favourite story: we stole the Elgin Marbles and then passed a law that made it illegal for us to give them back.
Not advised for anyone who voted Leave.
