  It is right that we should shoulder much of the blame and do more than our share to help those afflicted, as many of the world's troublespots have historic British Empire fingerprints all over them. Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Sudan, even the Balkans (Yalta). And not forgetting Northern Ireland. In most cases it arose from British officials drawing arbitrary boundaries on maps, boundaries which were not recognised by the inhabitants, and without the British understanding that the people we were fencing in within these boundaries did not even understand the concept of a nation-state. It's now payback time.
