Mainly, you (pl.) are supposed to learn from history and finally discontinue your imperialist interference in Iraq and other places. And it can't simply be blamed on your "upper classes". Why the double standards? Every German, to this day, has to pay for the deeds of the German empire (which is long gone, unlike the British empire), and can't simply blame it on the "upper classes" either. Considering that over history, the British crown has killed more people than Hitler and Stalin combined, it's rather amazing that Britain not only pays no compensations, but continues in its imperialist ways. Instead the royals can get 100+ in the highest luxury as if nothing happened.
