The Class of the British Empire

The stereotype that is used in the culture wars is to see the British Empire as being dominated by a small elite of toffs if you like. So there is this view that Britain has been dominated by this very decadent group of people. I think it needs to be seen in its own terms not by 21st century moral or political standard and I think that's what history reclaimed is about which is about getting back to the roots of history without these ideological constraints that are being imposed on it.
