Which part of the sentence do you find patronising or insulting? :confused:

I didn't find anything in your post patronising or insulting. I quoted it only because of the *apologise* bit. Sorry for confusion.

Rest of my comments were about the thread and some of the views expressed in general. But not yours.

I moved on. If I was indigenous, then the patronising pillocks and luvvies of this world would be claiming me as a 'success story'.

I didn't miss anything. I'm just doing may best to ignore your condescending attitude and avoid getting my posts deleted or myself banned by telling you what I actually think of your posts.

Actually he/she/they were not using personal insults. They were just trying to be clever and you misread their intentions.

From what I remember they were expelled because the Africans thought the Asians had too much financial control over their country. Not sure how that's the UK's 'fault'.

While you are basically right, the UK was at fault in so far as clearly training idi amin dada (last king of scotland) at Sandhurst. The idea was that he would be easily manipulated and used as a puppet once he (UK's wish) over threw milton obote. Amin obliged by doing the deed, but the uk realised its mistake when the geezer basically turned and went mental!!!.
