Legacy of our former pasty-faced inept rulers who left things in a mess

South Africa
Middle East in general
Palestine/Israel
India/Pakistan
NZ/Maori
Nigeria/Biafra
Rhodesia
Quebec/Rest of Canuckistan
Ireland/Northern Ireland
and so on, and so on.

I think there's a reasonable case for arguing things in at least some of
these places were a mess before we arrived, didn't get sorted out and so
reverted to being a mess once we left.

Also, sad and flawed as it is, the British imperial record is one of the
very best; other imperial states did far, far worse by their subjects.
