One 'Bad' Empire and One 'Good'.

Wouldn't it be rather nice if a group of neutral economists, politicians and social commentators were to give an honest assessment of how many countries from the 'wicked' British Empire are actually better off today than they would have been under our colonial hand?

It always strikes me as strange that all these countries were 'correctly granted the rights to self-determination' but in our own case this does not apply.

It may be controversial to say but I have come to believe that The British Empire was, and remains, more morally defensible than the European Union with its: immorality, neo-imperialism, expense, unwanted intrusions, bureaucracy, corruption, anti-democratic practices and self-serving power grabs.
