Imperialism is a policy and/or ideology of extending the rule over other peoples and countries, for extending political and economic access, often through employing military force, to a lesser extent also "soft power". It is related to the concept of colonialism. The concept of imperialism arose in the modern age, associated chiefly with the European colonial powers of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

Iran	“The West’s exploitation of Iran began long before the the Shah and bombs fell. In 1872, the British-engineered Reuter Concession handed vast swaths of Iran’s economic sovereignty—from railroads to mining and forests—to a single foreign investor, an act so sweeping that even Lord Curzon called it 'the most complete surrender of the entire industrial resources of a kingdom into foreign hands' ever seen. This laid the groundwork for over 80 years of foreign economic domination. In 1953, the CIA and MI6 deepened that legacy of subjugation by orchestrating Operation Ajax—the coup that toppled Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh for daring to nationalise Iran’s oil. Then, between 1980 and 1988, the United States armed Saddam Hussein’s Iraq as it launched waves of rockets and chemical weapons on Iran—with full Western backing—killing over 250,000 Iranians. Each of these chapters reflects a broader pattern of imperialist aggression designed to punish Iranian sovereignty and protect Western interests at any human cost.”	Scott Rickard	22 June 2025
Bob Seely	“I know we have a duty to the world, I mean we think to the world's poor and we should be doing what we can to help. We don't have a duty to quote 'save the world'.”	Bob Seely	3 September 2021
Joris Voorhoeve	“Take into account that 2/3ds of UN member states are no democracy, also take into count that quite a number of states are run by criminal organisations. Colonialism did not end, it took a different form.”	University of Leiden Joris Voorhoeve	12 April 2016

What British people would regard as crimes if done to them, were and are justified in the name of empire. The official narrative, still largely accepted in the West, is racist to its core and illustrates the hypocrisy of an Establishment that never tires of warning about the evils of racism at home whilst predicating its foreign policy on it.

While the BBC focused on the divide between the sides of the house with their face mask wearing, Parliament was united against the withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan. Most MPs are urging Boris Johnson to go back to Afghanistan, and take on the Taliban, alone if necessary.
