British have invaded nine out of ten countries - so look out Luxembourg

the UK has only a few hundred years of invading countries

Ethiopoa,Iran ,Syria have thousands of years of history invading other nations

Ask the Scottish and the French if they agree.

the scots are brits you idiot

But not thousand years ago. Besides, that still leaves the French.

the Uk has only existed since 1707


i could literally name 50 nations with a longer history of colonising countries

9/10 would invade again

Whatever the ethics of it all, one thing is pretty clear - the countries that actually fell to British invasion (rather than those that were simply subject to temporary occupations and raids) and became part of the empire, and later the commonwealth, benefited a great deal as well in many ways. Though obviously some didn't benefit. But then again that was because they were the naughty ones. Take Obamas grandfather for example. Naughty boy.

See, we looked out from our islands and saw the world was full of 'wrong uns'... so what were we to do? Civilise them of course. Bloody marvellous!

Its also worth noting that many of the 'invasions' were merely raids... you know, sending a gunboat up a river. But mostly our lads were back on the ships in time for tea.
