@@nicolkatanji1980 Were they Russian trolls singing at those Scottish and Irish football matches? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Your list of excuses managed to stop just short of blaming the Irish for their own famine - I suppose, with hindsight, they should have had a more broad-based diet? I’m just not sure that “our bunch of colonising racist c**ts were no worse than all the other colonising racist c**ts knocking about” is a terrific defence. Oliver’s point is that a sh*t-load of wrongs were done in the name of the monarch; maybe, a bit more humility and reparation might have fewer British and Irish people not overly upset at the old bat’s passing.

Love how John slyly forced Sky to air the episode, by calling them out on their censorship (which has been happening for years btw - they have been crudely editing out the more brutal attacks on the Royal Family since the beginning of the show). Now they would look monumentally stupid if they refused to air it & major news outlets would 100% picked up on it and amplify their shameful servility. Americans look at the UK, see socialized healthcare, a few welfare programs and assume UK media is more open to leftist rhetoric. But that's DEFINITELY not the case. First, socialized healthcare is more of a 'historic accident' and ever under attack, as the conservatives never surrender their effort to undermine it, gut it and end it. It weirdly coexists with shockingly cruel right-wing policies, which the UK media consistently promotes. John Oliver's show, as it is, would never be given air-time. I suspect it is only reluctantly allowed because of the power of HBO, and because it's technically American. btw, John did the same subtle arm-twisting to Jimmy Fallon - after that numpty silenced his questions about Amazon working conditions & union busting, Oliver put Fallon on the spot in front of his crew & on camera, and challenged him not to edit out what happened

The British Museum in a nutshell. Not that any others that were created during the colonial era are any better. Also sometimes it looks like museums are more interested in hoarding, pardon conserving, stuff than actually displaying it to teach people.

Not to mention, when it comes to the Monarchy itself, I've never - not once - heard the sentiment "I'd like to have a royal family, like they do in UK".

@@ThaEzzy our (s) elected folks already cost us plenty. They feel like royalty I'm sure!

If anyone wanted to abolish my traditional monarchy, I'd spit in their.

We executed our short lived european impossed monarchy (The Absburg emperor) here in Mexico. And they weren't even all that bad dudes, they instigated reforms to help the poor and the needy... But we don't take kindly to monarchs. We didn't just banished them or return them to Europe. We fuking shoot them. So no, not all people want the same stupid shit that the britsh, specially ex-colonies.

The worst thing was the brain washing that left most of kenyans with self hatred and believe that anything good has come from a white person, I hope thier children will wake up 😢

Well change it. The future is in YOUR hands. How many Kenyans move to the UK for better opportunities? Plenty I’d say And I’ve seen pieces in documentaries about rich Nigerians taking 2 private jets to London to shop. One plane for the shoppers and one for their shopping. I’m sure Kenya is no different. Why not have a go at the Portuguese government who were your first colonisers? Because it doesn’t fit with the narrative? If you had a good brain you’d do some research into the advantages of being a Constitutional Monarchy. There are more checks & balances to minimise corruption. CM’s aren’t perfect but they’re definitely the best of the rest imo. And no mention of your countrymen’s ancestors selling their own people into slavery and making huge money. And how’s the corruption in your government? Asking for a friend 😎 The RF is there to unite people and to serve others. Can you imagine how dull it is cutting ribbons and pulling cords for strangers is. Do you know how important the RF’s around the world are for charities? I’ve heard from people who have done plenty of charity work in the UK. Unless there’s a Royal going to be there they have big trouble selling tickets. If there’s a Royal going to be there the tickets sell out within minutes. And not American style charities/tax dodges , REAL charity that helps others. Even Americans are using the idiot Harry to promote their fake charities.

I wholeheartedly agree with you!! The Indian children were forced to enter these schools, leaving their families and their culture to learn English and the Catholic faith!! They were used as slaves, tortured, punished if they could not remember their lessons! These schools were a nightmare for all these children!!! This country is responsible for many atrocities against our American Indian brothers and sisters!!! And, today they are still being persecuted for being who they are!!!!! They were here first! This is their country!! We, the US, should begin paying them for our sins against a beautiful people!!

We are **most definitely** not "the good guys". We are, in fact, guilty of the same crimes we're currently accusing of China _ten times over_

The latest iteration of the Taylor Sheridan Cinematic Universe, "1923", depicts this part of American history in all its gory brutality. Several of Sheridan's other works also delve into how modern day American Indians continue to be ignored and repressed.

Bye bye Charlie Boy and Camelarse, we don't need you or the pathetic Royal Household that protects you by attacking Harry and Meghan. Looking forward to Australia leaving the "British Commonwealth" and gaining one of us, preferably a First Nation leader (the true sovereigns of Oz) as Head of State.

While we're at it; electing one man to run a country is idiotic for the same reasons. Congress has been" tits on a boar" as well. Turns out there's a perfect size for a smoothly run State; and we should save- in our case Washington-- for interfacing with the rest of the world. The states should run themselves, keep their income tax, set their goals and standards too. Washington gets ten percent of each state's haul, to keep the worthwhile organizations running. The states can compete and share what they learn in Washington instead of the present day Congress blathering away about conspiracies, a waste of oxygen. We're all waiting for Washington to solve the myriad problems about which they have no clue. Leaving the States to deal with them is creating a challenge they will all welcome.

Conquering other narions is cool and great.

Very powerful moment indeed! I got CHILLS. Just for the record, in this case you would use "whoever"

One of the most incredible defenses of the royals is that they "don't actually cost anything" because the land they "share" actually brings in much more money than what they are -paid- given. At which point I guess everyone's just supposed to not ask how it was they came by so much valuable land, and why, after removing them, the people couldn't just take it back.

Thank you for the book recommendation will read

Love how they were shocked and appalled by the Germans putting people in concentration camps while also putting people in concentration camps barely a decade later. Not to mention what they’d done in South Africa barley a generation before. Smdh

‘Histories of the hanged’ by David Anderson is another recommendation. My paternal grandfather was a MauMau oather who was brutally killed in the ‘50s.

If this is true, it'd be good if John's team saw this

Yep. That's partly also why he also lost the election instead of being put in under a landslide. Those left alive didn't want another fascist in power & remembered his attitude towards the Indians, the Welsh, the Irish and the Scottish among many others. He was a vile racist who wanted to eradicate the Welsh language and exterminate brown people just as intensely as Hitler, but because of a few speeches his record of atrocities goes unspoken, including Gallipoli where he forced British soldiers to stay and die when it was known that they'd lost the battle.

There's a commie here in Brazil that says that n@z1sm is just colonialism applied to Europe itself. Learning uncomfortable details about policies made by Churchill, De Gaulle, several american presidents and such exposes it as incredibly accurate.

thats the thing about war heroes, im discovering-they’re really good at war. that does not usually coincide with being a good person

Churchill was a hero during the war, not so much before and after it

The royal family could have come out against it. As figureheads, not giving the direct order doesn’t absolve them

I am from India, and the queen and her institution was responsible for millions of deaths.... all orders were made in the name of queen, and she never apologized

Just know that just because it seems like nobody cares..most people of the world don’t support pain or suffering. Technology just allows us to see the best, and the worst of the world at any moment. Humans tools evolved faster than our brains. I’m happy that you’re happy enjoying John though. I’m from America and it’s the same..not everyone here is rich and crazy.

Just another example of the west picking and choosing how history unfolded. Unless you have had family who've lived through events like this or educate yourself you'll never know. I have family from India and the extent of harm caused there by the military and famines is just another one left out of their pages.

Please inform yourself. The RF had nothing to do with colonialism. And they never supported anything you might consider to be racist. Actually, during QE2 a lot of countries became independent and voluntarily joined the Commonwealth.

This wealth is some of the jewelry this family wears, calling it gifts. During WWII my great grandmother’s two brothers (her only brothers) realized the atrocities being committed in Burma. They were doctors and left. And soon were murdered by the Japanese. Burma, a British territory, was meant to repatriate my great uncles. Instead the Brits found their bodies and gave these two hindu men a Christian funeral, burying them. My great uncles had sons but instead of inheriting the family wealth a coup of British men stormed my great grandma’s family estate and robbed every single woman of her jewelry, of the money in the home. They were near destitute. And yet they had kept some of the money hidden, a preparation they needed to do because they saw what happened to every person in their village. When my great grandma passed in 2020 I lost my family’s direct link to this story. But my grandma doesn’t let the story die. She says it often. After my great grandma’s mother death that property was stolen by the Brit’s instead used as a British drinking house (a house of those who didn’t drink or smoke). A house Indians were banned from. Until 1947 when we attained independence. My great grandma held the family property until the 80’s, when the place became difficult to maintain. But her stories of the Brit’s have no respect. And about those jewels. From what I know, Elizabeth has worn some of my family’s stolen jewels. And family that has visited Britain has confirmed some of our property is on display at the British museum. Falsely attributed as being gifts from the Maharaja. It’s funny. Because we, and our family name from Palakkad in Kerala is being erased. Like many more Indian family names. The monarchal system and the Brit’s are responsible for the erasure of the rest of the world’s history and dynasty. And it’s lead to the DIRECT europhillia felt in the colonized world. That none of our people were notable or worthy. Because they stole that from all of us.

Just like theres a comprehensive series titled “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire”, we need one elaborating the extent of British Colonization from start to present

The last thing we need is a British crow yapping about how "incompetent" Indian govt is when in Britain lettuce lasts longer than Liz Truss

Horrible high school.

Schools are only going to teach you what they only want you to learn.

Pity most of it is highly selective.

It is surprising how much is not taught in schools, is it? I have some friends among the Native Americans in Canada. These horrible things use to happen as recently as 1990s. Indigenous children were taken from families for years, many never returned. They were raised to submission to white people, punished of any expression of their culure and origine (speaking their language, singing songs, praying to the spirits, talking with siblings) and they were heavily abused (punished by hunger, beated, detained in dark cold cellar), children were also sexualy abused there and many died from misstreatmen and abuse. I met a person who saw a priest to beat a child to death when he was detained in a residential school. It was just horrible to hear all the storries and when I got to know this I felt guilty as a a white European with Christian background, even so my country does not have any colonial history. An apology from all heads of all institutions involved in this horror should be a minimum. If the role of the royal family is to symbolically represent the monarchy and the church, so they are the best people to apology in the name of the monarchy and the church, because it is what representing mean and an apology is a symbolic act.

@@samuela-aegisdottir In the United States, Indigenous Ceremonies were outlawed until 1978. In addition, I have seen grown men cry over the trauma they experienced in the schools they were forced to attend. 💔

@@nicolkatanji1980 Oh boy there is so much wrong with this post, ok firstly I think you missed the part that the oppression in Kenya didn't just affect the Mau Mau but the general people of Kenya. Most of them had nothing to do with the Mau Mau and were just put into the camps arbitrarily many were even kids. If you want a good book that really puts it into perspective I would recommend Dreams in the Time of War by Ngugi wa Thiong'o. Second, "Everyone else was doing it therefore it was ok" is a really shit take. If someone as far back as 500 BCE could figure out slavery was bad then the British Monarchy could have done it. Third, people are calling on both France and Spain to apologize for their colonial actions especially France who quite literally has a colonial tax on their former colonies to this day so. Fourth, it is funny how you choose to discuss the Aztecs but failed to mention people like the Haudenosaunee who had essentially a working democracy so there is a variety of other people besides the Aztecs who would have benefited if the Europeans had just fucked off and not colonized. So yeah I think things would have been better for the Indigenous people of South and North America if the Europeans hadn't colonized. Fifth, this entire rant about these other powers doesn't do much to show why we shouldn't call out Britain on its actions. We also call out japan on their actions and its lack of an apology as well. Lastly, "the peace we've all enjoyed the last few decades" what peace? This screams a western perspective. There may have been peace for Western Europe and the US, but what about the rest of the world huh? There have been dozens of wars all over the world because of the actions of the West, some which still rage today.

Every British soldier involved should spend the rest of their lives rotten in prison facing execution for their crimes.

@@jinmakome2796 Agreed, I hope that man in the interview who ordered soldiers to put their boots on the throats of kenyans rots, don't care if it is in hell, Tartarus, or has a shit reincarnation.

There’s a great radiolab episode about it, and about the site where the British have all their documents on the events hidden.

@@nicolkatanji1980 I don't even know where to begin with. Terms like 'ignorant', 'naive', and 'boot-licking' don't seem to do justice to that string of verbal diarrhea. I've never seen so much childish whataboutism in a single post. You've managed to make the UK and the monarchy look even worse with this comment. People reading this will now associate their supporters with your sub-Trumpian level of 'argument'. Bravo.

?

I don't think they should be punished for what great great great grate gran or gramp did thats kinda fucking stupid but maybe not abel to hold land bc of the fact they are already geting a place to live food security and travel paid by the British people.

@@benozzy003 they need to be punished for it they still punishing everyone else for uprising against them

That's a fallacy Which you probably learned from this show for the majority of your arguments

Yeah, sure. Let's include those who sold their own people to slavery. The elephant in the room.

It's pretty shitty that he didn't acknowledge that the last ones closed in the 90s rather than the 60s though. While the CoE may not have specifically run any after that, but there were still government run schools until the 90s and we didn't break off constitutionally from the UK until '82 so the UK government (and the Queen as a figure head) could have put a stop to it and didn't. She had a nice chunk of time to do so.

@@mishyhnyduik6725 The schools running after the 60's were run by the First Nations themselves.

@@mishyhnyduik6725 and the residential schools may have closed, but they've been replaced by family and children's services... A few years back they did a test. They took the same case files, and randomized the ethnicity of the family. People recommended removing children from the homes of cases that had indigenous names at three times the rate of any other ethnic group. In other words, the racism that has been instilled in us had lead to the foster care system replacing the residential schools.

@@andrewtorrens7790 Of course it has. Are you really surprised? Im not

@@paulfoley9370 Evidence? Ah, I see you’re either an apologist or a racist. Why would First Nations peoples run residential schools? Schools where their children were beaten, SA, starved, emotionally and psychologically abused? Why would FN peoples even support schools that had the sole purpose to “kill the Indian in the child”?

It paints a picture of a bigoted country with supremacist sympathies and colonial nostalgia, actually. We've looked at you closer than ever before during the Brexit "debate" in the EU, and we're glad to have you gone.

The ruling class is effective at doing that in most countries, not just the UK.

Some things are more important than money. The US's culture of putting money above everything else is condemnable.

Uk is full of 🤡

The monarchy is profitable for all european countries that still have them.

Yet, sports teams are fined and sanctioned if they were to say the same about another person.

People need to stop being nice to oppressors

Master reference

COME SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM!

This would have ended the monarchy.

They should only keep the monarchy if women in ponds hucking swords about is how they choose the king.

Truly a missed opportunity

thank you for raising the point that people from colonised countries are actually not welcomed in to the country that colonized them.

Britain, age of imperialism: "You people are now subjects of our king, whether you want it or not. Obey and you get... well, not much, but at least we probably won't kill you (on purpose). Resist and we will kill you all." Britain, few years ago: "Where did all these foreigners come from? And they want to come here? To our country? I don't like that. I feel like the EU has stolen our independence!"

I'm Irish, and we've never gotten an apology either. I hope that Grenada and every other nation that suffered from British colonisation gets the reparations and apologies that Britain owes.

The monarchy will never apologize because that would mean accepting responsibility. Its the same reason no colonized nations will ever be given reparations.

This. As a South African of Indian origin, it grates so much when I have to pay exorbitant visa fees to visit the UK and really high international student rates to study there. From a heritage standpoint, I’ve been colonised twice!
