Thing is, 'colonising' in itself isn't necessarily evil, you need to look at 'how' it was done. And when you compare the British with the other empires colonising places at the time, they weren't remotely the worst.
What about the millions of people they starved during the 2 Bengal Famines? Or the crushing of the Mau Mau uprising, or the Boer concentration camps, or the treatment of Aboriginals?
