that yank must be taking the piss, either that or he's very stupid. Britain didnt start slavery... infact they made alot of european countries end it by pressuring them to end trade with them. This american clearly doesnt no any history and its a shame this got released as its simply bullshit propaganda. UK did alot of bad things but they were the best out of a bad bunch.
danieljhenderson
Its things like this that fuel anti-americanism, which is becoming alot more commen.
BlackburnRaver
He's takin' the piss.

well said my friend

Take my comment as not an offense to Americans what so ever but to show idiots like Steve Grassen or what ever the hell his name is that there are far worse countries than Britain/UK. He is so stupid, he didn't even know Scottish were British. I bet he put something about us being involved in the Holocaust...
IForgottenHopeI
What a fucking idiot. Of course our Empire did some bad things but we made so many achievements and were probably the most fairest of all Empires. All countries do bad things, but the good we did for the World outwieghed our naughty deeds. In 200 years of being the great empire, we brought suffering to several millions of people but brought good as well. More good than Evil. What has America done in just 60 years Starting in the mid 1800s. Mass Genocide of the Native Americans. Well done Yanks.

Can't we just take it as a light hearted joke, I mean, if we wanted to we could write a book like 1,000 ways America has ruined (and still are) the world and why?
We all know whats what here and others can think as they wish, as long as it dosen't provake people far enough that it will cause harm to others.
Oh gosh, I sound like a hippy. Peace out!
martiansoldier
this makes me so frustrated but only so much i can argue about...
SANDWICH!! it was unique, burger idea was started by italien/romans(again) brits perfected the meat, AMERICANS sorted out the bread baps and the method of sale... not our fault
martiansoldier
..and have they ever apologised?
Lend lease was evil,
"its not our war, but lets make as much money as possible" hollywood is also evil, we have not been thanked or properly helped once for refusing hitlers offer of peace and fighting alone knowing our empire would be gone. instead we ended up with a century long loan, spite, and are erased continuously from our own graetest sacrifice. Tah

Its Americas fault there was a cold war, we would have been better off in it if germany had surrendered to us, not russia like it wanted too. britain did FAR more good then bad,destroying eviler empires. if any reason for bad british empire it was the churchs involvment, (eg. slaves are there by gods will)
BaghdadBeat07
theshale, I'm not an armchair che. You don't know me so don't make judgement out of ignorance. There is a lot to be ashamed of British imperial past, whilst there is a lot to be proud of what Britain has achieved since (except for Iraq). Let's face it, publishing is a declining industry and publishers go for titles and stories which are provocative and therefore sellable.
BaghdadBeat07
theshale, it looks like you're more worked up about it than I am...just look at your off-the-cuff remarks...
theshale
you may have a point there - unfortunately I've had to put quite a few people right on some points raised here...mainly they've been narrow minded Americans trying to point score and blame shift off the UK.
BaghdadBeat07
theshale,
Know the feeling, mate; the yanks you're referring to are desperate to blame someone and somewhere for the blunders, deception and devastations they've caused millions of people. Narrow mided is a very polite and considered way of describing them!
theshale
I choose the words 'narrow minded' carefully, because I ultimately believe that's what it is - I know my country has a chequered past to say the least, but i was gobsmacked when I saw Americans badmouthing us too! that just stank of utter hypocracy!!
People in glass houses really shouldn't be throwing stones.
theshale
There is plenty in Britain's colonial past to be ashamed of, but there is plenty more to be proud of too! This book is nothing but slander and propaganda for armchair Che Guevera's like yourself to get worked up about.
CableGuy96
You know a few days ago I would have been quick to defend Britain but recently I have experinced racism by Brits in Citys which is nothing new to me, from experince I would say perhaps as much as 25% of Brits are actively racist and since I am a Brition of colour I no longer am going to speak up against this guy.
MNorthman
I'm going to buy copies and give them out to people on the streets!
theshale
sure you are.
JD1010101110
the russian won the second world war, thank you comrade stalin
Norsk1224
JD so where the fuck was britain american and france in all this? Stupid wanker british lead the ww2 we might not of been the best but we were the only nation to fight from the start to the end. Russia was raping poland which helped germany alot.
But yes without the russians we woudl of been well and truely fucked but if bthe russians didn't have us they would be fucked same for america.
JD1010101110
what an idiot
rabelai2006
Yea, I agree, the guy is a complete twat. And I don't think he represents the majority of the American public, but a good deal of it still. But the fact is, there is no "special" relationship. If you would have been against the war in Iraq, you would now be seeing Bill O'reilly talking of the British cowards and making fun of your accent, and the public taking measures to ruin for British exporters. They don't give a shit about anyone.
rob280783
if America doesn't like being mocked and jeered at then maybe they should stop giving the rest of us excuses to do so. what a dick. says in the description that the british historian embodies every uptight british steriotype. how may i ask? becouse he has an upper middle class accent? he crushes this concker headed gimp. and he doesn't understand how its racist? i think writing a hate book about a whole nation could be percieved as mildly racist. laughable.
rabelai2006
You talk about racism here. How do you think the French feel. They are played down in every Hollywood movie that has a French character, and all kinds of stereo type stamps on them, like they are cowards, weak, sissy like and what not. Stop kissing up the Americans if you don't like this crap.

THAT BLOKE IS A JOKE
MetalAaron
stupid fucking american bastard trying to make a quick buck at our expense. Go back to school you slaphead.
Demigod17
lets thank the US for the cold war, granted alot of the atrocities in the world are to British fault, but the cold war is the catalyst in all of the problems in the modern world today.
phillipdaly
that quentin toff is a feckin prick and the stiff up lip english twats are very annoying and the yank is gay.
but really it makes a change for us english to learn they don't rule the world.smug up tight english twats that we are
EmperorVladDracula
all their arguments are terrible on both sides. even though the yank is talking an awful load of shit. no racism at all though
Vortimus
You haven't read the book... cunt..
ryanstock1983
Steven Grasse wants people to thank the U.S. for what. CIA undermining elections in Italy (1947). Intervening in the Greek civil war (1947) Overthrowing the Albanian government (1949) Forcing discorse in Germany so the Berlin wall was built. Also it was the CIA that tried to assisinate the leader of Iraq in 1960 and forced sanctions to bring the anti-royalist government. You owe these states reparations!
callumbus
that guy dnt no shit from clay
PaddyEireSaoirse
well said that yank
crystalpalacecasual
if we ruined the world then stop speaking my language, get your own language mick and stop speaking english if you are so offened by the english, you insignificant little cunt
TheFinalCut
Russia was ultimately the force that dissolved Nazism in Germany. Britain and America just bombed the hell out of German civilians day and night.
Anyway, having said that, I'm beginning to wonder why I watched all of this video. None of the guests or the presenters demonstrate an accurate knowledge of modern history. Generalising entire nations based on unsubstantiated arguments- they're all racist. It's that simple (unlike the issues they are attempting to discuss).
theshale
There's only one thing that's done more damage to the state of the world in the last 60 year's - and that's American forgein policy.
American forgein policy bascially amounts to 'Kill em all and let god sort them out'
hooverdamman
He is unintelligent - He has no comeback - His arguments are weak - the British historian rips him to shreds - He is stunned and cannot give reasonable justification for his claims - He has further done American reputable damage - America started WW2 by pumping the Third Reich with the yankee dollar - God save the Queen.
MM47
No! That is not true America helped Germany get on its feet! Then there was the Wall Street Crash, this had a huge impact on Germany, and other European countries! Hitler benefited from this disaster in terms of support, because Hitler benefited from disaster, and I'll tell you why you ignorant British Loyalist, because during times of catastrophe people start looking at extremist parties instead of central in political terms.
Norsk1224
MM47 don't talk shit. This guy knows nothing
, he's just doing it to piss english ppl off.
Was britain ever thanked for saving europe?
MM47
Really? Am talking crap eh? Well maybe you should use google to learn your history before making another daft comment. Plus the British Empire was evil, more bad came out of that than good, and even Hitler admired it, and the book was written to not be taken seriously as repeatedly said in the video.
Was Britain ever thanked for saving Europe? Well Britain wasn't the only resistence, so it would be ignorant and biased to thank Britain and no one else.
Saor Alba!
Norsk1224
So why is america complaining about not beinbg thanked.
theshale
Britain has never and will never wail on about the need to be constantly thanked...unlike America, which has a strange view that it saved the entire world single handedly!
MM47
Yep that is true, America does believe it is the saviour of the world, and Britain does view itself as a nation that merely pats itself on the back. However in my view Britain is collapsing, and collapsing for the better.
theshale
Well that's your view, and I'm guessing you're talking about devolution there, which I'm fully in favour of.
The point I'm trying to make on here is that this organisation's argument just doesn't stand up when examined, it contradicts itself constantly and confuses 'England' with being British. two different things.
MM47
That depends, after all England is Britain, although if you say you are English then you are probably a nationalist, but if you say you are British well then you are likely to be a loyalist.
brown47
I think we should thank the USA for WW2. I thank America's support in the greatest conflict our country has fought in. Thankyou!
MNorthman
This is so great! I spent the last 5 years in Europe, and the second anyone heard I was an American, it was..."we hate America, we heard your all stupid, Bush is retarded" ( that last one I won't debate much. ) Good to fire back at them!
PaddyEireSaoirse
Tell Noraid to keep sending the money,we'll sort the brits out,fuck empire's.
ryanstock1983
Noraid! what a joke. You find the idea of killing babies and women a viable solution to the problems of northern Ireland? Wow, that is rather fucked up.
