I don't doubt that, but blaming the British Empire for anything is generally lacking comparison to any other power at a given moment, past empires, or current imperial states. The British did what they could, when they could, and in almost all cases there are parliamentary records showing they were woke for their time, more so than many powers today, in Ireland, India and the MIddle East. The past 10 yrs has obsessively focused on the sins. Few know the complexity of the British Empire.

The article doesn't "blame" but discusses the history. It matters. Obviously.
