Ok, it may not fit in with the libertarian mood that everyone has, but meh to all you.
I'd like to wish every British citizen a happy Empire day, and hope that you keep the morals prevailant in our society strong, that of charity, brotherhood, and friendliness.
You did know it was Empire day, didn't you?

I hope we get an empire day soon
Empire day hasn't really been celebrated since Britain dismantled its empire :P
We have Bermuda, the Falklands, some indian ocean territory and Gibraltar left in the Empire. Not much to celebrate :lol:

No reason it shouldn't be, the Canadians should have victory day today, and I'm sure they're related. (I can't remember, I forgot.)
Also, it's to celebrate the concept of the empire, a facet of which I entered above.
Did you know that originally, the British Empire was designed to die? The concept of it was to take a nation, and develop it until it was deemed fit to rule itself, naturally, the concept got a bit corrupted over the years, but there you go.
May Day was better.

The concept, however, would've allowed the Empire a slow and graceful death, however. It wouldn't be the rather violent, and I feel untimely death of the British Empire. Even today, I feel Britain as a nation has never fully recovered, despite many attempts.
