They absolutely are, yes. Those "nations" were nothing but mud hut villages before the British arrived.
Please explain to me what was going on in PNG before the British arrived. Thanks.
You've literally just countered your own argument... you claim ex-Brit colonies are a mess today... then name EXTREMELY successful countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Ireland, Canada and US. And on top of that, the very successful Hong Kong. And arguably the most successful country in Africa: Kenya. Thanks for proving my point.
Negative. ME was a mess before the British arrived, or any Europeans for that matter.
You debunked this above. lol
You are one angry little goof.
