Two million people protested the war in Iraq. It arguably led to Tony Blair's pariah status in UK politics. We're currently going through a cultural admission of collective responsibility for Britain's imperialist past, and it's pissing off many of the right people (the National Trust being the latest targets of the anti-woke brigade).

Let's not get into whataboutery. We all know governments are shit. We shouldn't stop arguing for higher standards just because we've been inadequate in the past.
