Some classic greatest Briton quotes:

"I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

"I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."

"I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China — I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph."

"There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others."

not to forget this gem

I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.

And they say colonialism is a thing of the past. These libtrash whites do not have a little bit of remorse. Fuck Churchill and everybody who worships this genocidal maniac. I bet the same people think of these colonizers building train tracks as upliftment, when all it did was serve their capitalist cause of stealing resources, ecocide and killing people.

You've become the very thing you claim to hate

The Forgotten Holocaust: Witnesses remember the Bengal famine 77 years later | The Caravan

You have not an inkling of clue what you're talking about, but you had to put your foot somewhere. Imagine telling others not to hate on neo-nazis and colonialists, because "you've become the very thing you claim to hate"? I'll keep that in mind, Obi-wan.

This is offensive. I have it on good authority that the thing he hated most was a full bottle of gin and would do everything in his power to turn it into an empty bottle of gin.

Sir, the statue is bronze. That's copper and tin. Not irony at all.
