@KHUSHAL1405@8E8g38oZ6KTnumS@kevinf567 The world economy in the 1800s was a tiny fraction of the size of what it is today. The Industrial Revolution started in Britain which transformed everything. There were no signs anything like it was about to start in India.
@KHUSHAL1405@kevinf567 One year’s GDP after 200 years of economic growth with incomprehensibly greater technology. Entire economic sectors of the US economy today didn’t exist in the 1800s - tech, automotive, aerospace and many others.

@jakonian 5Pillars is a pretty accurate reflection of the attitudes of a large number of Muslims in Western Europe.

@aljhlester It’s not really though is it.
Indigenous just means native to a particular place. To claim the ethnic English, Scottish or Welsh aren’t indigenous to England, Scotland and Wales respectively is laughable. They all are - new migrants are not.
@jaglancy Churchill, Nightingale, Turing, Shakespeare, Wellington and Newton have all already featured on British Banknotes.
Given the Bank of England issues four banknote denominations, I’d be more than happy for Nelson, Rhodes, Wilberforce and Brunel to be the faces on the next set.
