Utopia Itv [John Pilger]

[clivebeca]

Did you see Utopia on ITV last night? It was basically a follow up to 'The Rabbit Fence', of a few years ago. There does not appear to have been a lot of improvement. What can we do? Remember the Queen is still The Queen of Oz.

This will be controversial, but after 'The Spanish', we 'The British' are probably the worst historic Nation in the destruction of Indigenous Cultures/Peoples. Do we have the morality to at least try to bring pressure to bear on one of the richest Counties on the Planet, to treat its 'First Natives' with equality? I know the arguments against - have been to most of the sites shown in the programme, and it sickens me. I'll await the abuse!!

Didn't see the programme and I'm not sure there is much point in comparisons with other colonising countries but you have a valid point. Were you referring to the Australian destruction of aboriginal culture, the Chinese with Tibet or the U.S with the indigenous tribes? The list goes on.

Thanks / Diolch Steve.5 ... The lack of interest in the post either shows that we are a 'Nation' in denial, or just not prepared to 'muddy the waters' with our ex- Colonials.
