What the British Empire really was, according to George Orwell…
[A friend sent me this. I've never seen this definition before, but it sounds right. The British Empire was simply the Royal Navy and the British Army being the paid mercenaries of the Jews in Britain. Jan]
The British Empire is simply a device for giving trade monopolies to the English–or rather to gangs of Jews and Scotchmen.
