Small correction though. We are responsible for the World Wide Web. The Internet is something slightly different that accesses the WWW. But your point is well made.

Yeah that confuses me to be honest, the US military I believe was the starting point for the internet.

I actually think the best one is DNA sequencing, the amount of crime it has solved and evil doers it’s bought to justice in my mind makes it the greatest humanitarian aid in history. Just the shear number of lives saved and minds put to rest, genius.

No wonder Encyclopeodia Brittannica shut up shop when their biggest competitor can be found on a minority sport forum in a medium sized Yorkshire city. I was forced to learn about William Wilberforce at school as one of our four school "Houses" was named after him in his honour A Hull lad as as I recall.
I think I'll give up trying, vasty


Ps I bet you've never got 23 questions correct on University Challenge as I have.

But your not trying are you.

You’ve totally ignored the point.

Why bring up the slave trade? It was so obvious and predictable and wrong.

Slavery was not an especially British or white thing, so why do you insist we should be especially ashamed.

I could bring up a million issues with empire more relevant and justified than slavery as a bad side. You just picked a fashionable and lazy reference, you clearly have not done tour homework and just took a cheap sound bite.

That’s what disappointed me as I’m sure your better than that.

Put bluntly, compared to most nation GB has a better past than most, warts and all and it’s about time we celebrated it.

Merry Christmas you daft old leftie

Merry Christmas to you too vasty, old chap and in 2022 I promise not to mention my favourite topic: Orgreave, June 18th 1984. Let's join forces in wishing for the best possible season for the lads in red, white and blue.

They probably do, I just found it a strange time. I suppose it is before the racing if they still show it.
