It is an ever-growing matter of suspense how long it will take before there is general recognition of the fact that…most of the world worked better in colonial times.
—Former newspaper tycoon, member of the British House of Lords, convicted felon and, apparently, colonialism super-fan Conrad Moffat Black, pining for the good ol’ days when colonial empires, particularly of the British variety, knew what was best for the rest of the world.

But of course not. That would be logical, right?
What an ugly idiot.
