Although, have you noticed - every culture that conquers is evil and pays no heed to existing culture, especially types like Alexander the Great, why he loathed Babylonian culture. The Romans destroyed the pre-existing Iceni (but managed to be relatively nice to the Celts apparently, because they were two separate groups obviously).
So Imperialism is bad; in fact British culture has to be sneered at, we are not worthy to kiss the boots of foreign cultures (us and our pile of rocks off the A303).
Having ranted said all that, coming from UCL, I did sense a feel of Ucko in the Head of Dept with a dollop of general tv-whoredom (might it be that Horton doesn't recognise himself?).
