― Peter Hitchens, The Abolition of Britain: From Winston Churchill to Princess Diana

― Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch

― Abhijit Naskar, Heart Force One: Need No Gun to Defend Society

“Abuse is somewhat the staff of life in England everything, everybody is to be abused; it is a pity, as nothing more unproductive as this everlasting abuse can be imagined. As nothing ever gave the slightest opening to this abuse, it is hoped that it will be soon got over the meeting of Parliament will now do good in this respect. As far as your few continental relatives are concerned, I don’t think they will be able to fix anything upon your faithful servant. I have done in England at all times good services… Successes of vanity, I am never fishing for in England, nor anywhere else. The only influence I may exercise is to prevent mischief where I can, which occasionally succeeds: if war can be avoided, and the same ends obtained, it is natural that they should be tried first…”
― Leopold I

“Barbarism, thy name is Britain.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None

“I’m riding motorcycles for a job, Mother! They’re calling us the Flying Wrens, and in case you’ve forgotten, there’s a war going on! People are losing their families.’ She shook her head. ‘It’s not about me wanting to do something forbidden; I’m actually doing an important job, work that truly means something.’ She thought of Florence losing her family, and of the people all over Great Britain who had someone who wasn’t coming home. When she’d applied for the job, all she’d been able to think about was the freedom it would afford her, but now it already seemed like so much more than that.”
― Soraya M. Lane, The London Girls

“France and Germany, long jealous of the king's lucrative rubber profits, had their eye on pieces of Congo territory. President Roosevelt hinted that he was willing to join Britain in convening an international conference to discuss the Congo’s fate. Three times the British and American ministers in Brussels went, together, to see the Belgian minister of foreign affairs and press for Belgian annexation. But sharply limited as Leopold II’s powers were in Belgium itself, the worried Belgian government had no legal authority over him in his role as ruler of the Congo. In the end, the king held the key cards, and he knew it.”
― Adam Hochschild, King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa

“Ironically Britain claimed the whole continent simply in order to claim a few isolated harbours astride trade routes. It was like a speculator who, buying a huge wasteland flanking a highway because it had a few fine sites for road cafes and filling stations, found later that much of the land was fertile and productive.”
― Geoffrey Blainey, The Tyranny of Distance: How Distance Shaped Australia's History

“There's not one but two UKs -
one is United Kingdom,

another is United Kin-dom,
where humans live as kin.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“How come Hitler is a bigger villain than the British monarchy, when Hitler invaded only 11 countries, while the British empire invaded 90 percent of the globe, that is, over 170 countries, and caused multiple times the massacre than the Nazis did! And while modern Germans are well aware of the nation's horrific past, and try their best to right the wrongs, like civilized, conscientious humans ought to, in barbarian britain however, over half the population still stand proudly behind the monarchy, let alone recognize the animal filth it represents, which till this day is unparalleled by any other animal regime.

Now to the reason why Hitler is officially a villain, but not the British monarchy. Hitler invaded white countries, while the British empire invaded mostly colored countries - and since colored life is cheap, but white life is priceless, Hitler is branded a villain, while the Brits are designated "explorers" and "bringers of civilization", a tradition which has been proudly inherited by the modern day British Empire - the United States of America.”

“Great Britain enabled the Zionists to create the springboard from which they were ultimately able to take over the entire country at the expense of its indigenous population. It thereby helped significantly to produce a conflict that only became more bitterly intractable as time went on.”

“Baa Baa White Sheep
(The Sonnet)

Baa baa white sheep,
have you any wool!
Yes sir, yes sir,
London tower full.

Pull it over your eyes,
or weave it into blanket.
All stink of blood and blunder,
a scent second not even to crumpet.

Imperials rise upon indigenous fall,
declaring themselves as light-bringer.
Native tears form kohinoor on the crown,
Blood is but cologne to the colonizer.

Not all of colonial descent are colonizer,
but those who take pride in the past are.
To these animal ghosts of the human world,
no matter your ethnicity send a get well card.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“God Save The King, Sonnet
(New UK Anthem)

God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King!
Even if he is a philanderer,
God save our righteous King!

Send him victorious,
happy and glorious,
ruler of the free world,
even if he is ignominious!

Thy choicest gifts in store,
on him be pleased to pour,
let starving natives starve,
so our king may rightly soar.

May he defend our laws,
and ever give us cause,
to be but proud morons,
merrying over massacres.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“Colonialism is cannibalism.”

“Jack and Jill (Colonial Sonnet)

Jack and Jill once went up a hill,
to pick the fabled golden fruit.
So they trapped some blacks-n-browns,
to serve them tireless hand and foot.

Jack and Jill had a glorious dream,
to make the world imperially great.
So they bought some colored folks,
to boss around from their noble bed.

Jack and Jill were full of themselves,
they nicked 'n nicked without repercussion.
Like shameless filth then they sold tickets,
exhibiting the spoils of their barbarism.

Jack and Jill were textbook white trash,
not the right idols of civilized society.
You cannot unscrew their diabolical screwups,
just have the decency to not repeat history.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“Humpty Dumpty (Colonial Sonnet)

Humpty Dumpty sat on a throne,
he made a career of divide-n-rule.
Whole west found a savior in a fool,
as he was anointed the royal mule.

He smuggled food from starving natives,
for fighting troops were far more worthy.
Adolf was designated the villain supremo,
while he was the free world's beloved Humpty.

It's fault of the natives to "breed like rabbits",
he was right to be their judge and executioner.
After all, human rights mean rights of the pale,
freedom and equality don't apply to the darker.

Humpty Dumpty was ready with his cigar,
to fight the invaders on the beaches.
Sure he was the right nut for the job,
expertise lies in centuries of practice.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“De ‘special relationship’ bleek, toen het erop aankwam, een mythe. Londen was de partij die moest buigen, in dit gedwongen en ongelijke huwelijk.”
― Geert Mak, Wisselwachter

“Hopkins’ cruciale ‘noodzaak tot vriendschap’ leidde tot vreemde en schemerige situaties. De Lend-Leaseleveringen aan de Britten stonden onder scherp toezicht, bij de Russen was daarvan geen sprake. Het Congres kreeg er geen greep op, wie te veel vragen stelde – zoals Ivan Yeaton, de alerte ambassademedewerker bij Hopkins’ bezoek aan Moskou – kreeg problemen met het Witte Huis. Grofweg kregen de Russen, met een totaal van 11 miljard dollar, bijna driemaal zoveel als de Britten met hun 4,3 miljard. In tegenstelling tot de Britten betaalden ze daar niets voor terug.”
― Geert Mak
