      The Guardian don't care, it's all about politics. They ignore the fact that Mandalay is a beautiful poem about an Englishman's experience in a magical foreign land. The poem could equally be adopted as a progressive text as much as an emperial one - the fact is, it's a wonderful piece of art which transports you to a time and place far away and based upon happy thoughts and love.

      No. No Burmese beauty. The Kipling poem describes how an English soldier when into Burma bringing guns to kill Burmese people, flirting with the local girls and staring pointlessly at Buddhist pagodha. The poem is full of British imperialism sense which indicates that the British was the height of their empire and they wanted to exploit more of it.

      Edited: for future reference Boris is attempting to recite the 1890 POEM _Mandalay_ by Rudyard Kipling. A quick Google about Kipling, his work and views (and ahem, the British colonisation of Burma) will answer most questions about why this is a poor choice for anyone with an ounce of sense.

      Not a coincidence at all Barb! “the road to Mandalay” movie released 6-28-1926. There were 33,333 days from the movie release to the day of the attack. The movies lead Actor Lon Chaney's last movie was “The unholy 3”. 33,333 days equals 91Y 3M 3D... You have the 33 and 91. The name of the event was the route 91 harvest festival. There was 91 days fro mthe day of the attack to the end of the year. This has Illuminati written ALL over it!

      Speaking of which, Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done by evil doers, period.
      Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization of vast bountiful Continents, ranging from North & South America to Australia/New Zealand to Siberia/Far-East. In my opinion, the time is right to end Colonization. Besides, Anglo British practiced and benefited in Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization of vast bountiful Continents, from North America, which rightfully belongs to indigenous Native American people to Australia/New Zealand in Asia Pacific region, which rightfully belongs to Native people of Asia Pacific.
      Google "Long Live Indochina/China Daily" for more.

    "Kipling has been variously labelled a colonialist, a jingoist, a racist, an anti-Semite, a misogynist, a right-wing imperialist warmonger; and-though some scholars have argued that his views were more complicated than he is given credit for-to some degree he really was all those things."
