The sack, rape, desecration and murder of #empire ...:

* The 1770 #Bengali famine, designed by the #EastIndiaCompany to destroy the local #cotton #fabric industry and invent a poisonous drug trade in its place.
* The looting and burning of the #OldSummerPalace near #Beijing, ordered by the same #Elgin who chopped up the #Parthenon.
* The destruction of the #Irish language through imperial policy, as dramatised in #BrianFriel 's #Translations (a magnificent and ambiguous play, describing linguistic polarisation, but not itself partisan).
* Labour #racism and engineered #alcoholism in #SouthAfrican #gold mines, from the 19th Century, with repercussions even until now - #ZamaZama mining is its modern evolution.

None of this is forgotten. Let it never be forgotten.
