Without wishing to sound overly defensive I always get frustrated when people talk about 'they' and colonialism in Britain. I consider myself English, but my paternal Grandparents were Irish and my maternal Grandparents were from the Highlands of Scotland, both places which suffered greatly at the hands of the English upper class. Up until recently many working class English people were in workhouses, and parts of the country still suffer from extreme amounts of poverty. It was in the main the English gentry, aristocracy and upper classes that benefited from 'the empire' and despite still being very wealthy and owning huge swathes of the land in Britain/England - these people are a tiny % of the population and certainly don't represent your average Brit.

Just for anyone reading this, not all Brits think like this, or believe the hype that we 'civilised' the world like Great White Saviours. Some of us realise that ancient civilisations like the Eqyptians, the Mesopotamians, the Persians, the Indians, the Chinese, were building pyramids, advancing medicine and scientific theories, developing complex political systems, and founding powerful dynasties, whilst the indigenous Britons were painting themselves blue and building huts out of mud. I'm not going to enter into a discussion about the brutality, the genocide and the oppression that the British Empire brought with them while they 'civilised' the nations they conquered, or the disgusting views those Britons had about the people they ruled over, but suffice to say, 'doing more good than harm' is a bold statement that history will not treat kindly.

I'm a Brit who definitely feels European, definitely prefers being an island off the coast of France and definitely doesn't want to be an island off the coast of New York!!! 😄 Also the German guy who said said 'f*ck you for leaving EU' - yep, feel you there. 'And for burning down Germany'. I mean, Germany burnt down a lot of Britain too so... pax??! 🤝

The EU is an outdated Eurocentric movement. If you take the time to study its inner workings you will be amazed. I use to pro EU but now I am pro European/ World. It is strange how the EU has morphed into a monster that treat countries as its counties. Study study.

The guy who says Brits don't give a damn about the poor is partly right - the ruling class and the media certainly don't, and neither do the hardcore of traditional Conservative voters. However, most ordinary people do care, and spend a lot of time volunteering, raising money for charities and trying to help people who are worse off than themselves. Inequality has exploded here over the last 10-15 years, and it has been extremely painful to witness - I live in one of the most deprived cities in England and it has been awful to see more homeless people sleeping on the streets, and food banks unable to meet the high demand. Our backward political system and terrible media make it look like we're an uncaring cold country, but if you actually survey people about their opinions, the majority of people are just as centre-left as the rest of Northern Europe. Scotland certainly is - which is why I really hope they vote for independence if they have another referendum. Sadly England will never be able to escape the ruling class which owns it.

Vikings complaining about colonialism. I've from London and I've got 9% Swedish DNA. Pretty sure my ancestors never lived there. 👀

I think Vikings where part of History. So whats so different than colonialism. Both from the past. But didnt GB end slavery. Where was her nation involving the end of the slave trade. Picking out what she needs to feed her hate of another Nation, While having faults in there own past.

I go through videos seeing what people think of England and anyone who says anything negative I start to dislike the country 😂 1:17 this guy and girl made me dislike sweden

Omg!! Could you pick a more dull set of people to interview lol I now judge all Swedes on these folk alone also…. Put me to sleep I swear!!! 🙄🤣

Shame about the background music, too loud.

a swede calling anywhere a shithole is kind of hilarious tbh

Funny for Swedes to comment on colonialism when the Vikings taught us everything we know…

The 2nd woman who was interviewed and said that British people have to be funny so we can forget about colonialism which is fair point but has she never heard of the Vikings

To the lady in glasses, I’ll point out that no British person is accountable for what their ancestors did. The Vikings did many terrible things back in the day, but you would rightly think it it unfair if I held you responsible.

They don't give a damn about the poor! Spot on sir! Wish you were wrong but spot on true 👍.

I resent this idea that we want to be American I love Europe we are European. I have no feelings for America on the other hand really it's total indifference towards them, I don't know why they would think that. I would guess brexit had a part to play in that I suppose.

I can't stand Ikea furniture, it's way too uncomfortable. Unlike Swedish cars which have extremely comfortable seats. Should just buy an old volvo and park it outside my house and watch the TV through the window.

These Swedish kids nail it eveytime. "UK is a shithole... But I like it because it's a shithole." -- lol she's not wrong. Nice.

You mean the neutral second world war country. Ask the Norwegians about Sweden. 🤔

SWEDES FORGETTING WHAT THEIR VIKINGS DID

Perhaps we need to talk about the deluge and Poland before Swedes start talking about colonialism.

Hahaha colonialism comming from Sweden..an ex viking country..

I doubt the ones that mention British colonialism actually know much about what really happened. It's an easy, lazy slur. She should google "Swedish overseas colonies" and "The Swedish slave trade", Sweden isn't innocent.

Fascinating that even after the era of Brexit and BoJo’s Prime Ministership, the UK still comes off much more positively in Sweden! The Gothenburg gentlemen had an (accurate) critique about how the British political class doesn’t seem to care much at all for the poor, but even that wasn’t enough to wipe out his positive orientation. Why is it that the UK is seen more favorably than the US, despite having many of the same dysfunctions and ugly aspects of history and culture?
