WHAT BRITISH EMPIRE?

A common mistake, which is entirely understandable, is to presume that the British Empire actually existed.
Here I will suggest that it did not.
The Roman Empire existed in weakened form right up until the middle ages and then seems to have faded from view but what really happened?
I have been doing a fair amount of research on the rise and fall of Empires and there are reasons to suspect that, rather than fall, the Roman Empire disguised itself behind the Roman Catholic Church but maintained its grip financially.
It seems that the Roman aristocratic bloodlines, together with their banker Jewish friends created a smoke screen to prevent their dealings from being obvious.
Gradually, via the Norman invaders and intermarrying of royalty they came to control the British Isles and using the unwittingly enslaved British people they set out to complete their ultimate objective, that of ruling the world.
Via the banking system they have controlled all production of currency in Europe and America. They have also raised the standard of the British Empire to invade and subjugate huge swathes of the world.
However, Britain no longer belonged to the British so what was really going on?
It seems to me that the old Roman aristocracy, ie the Roman Empire was hiding behind the Union Jack and USING the British people, not just to dominate the world but to take the blame for that domination.
They still relax in their palatial piles, raking in the profits, encouraging their bankster employees to continue to lend and extort.
The world blames the British.
The British blame the banksters.
But all the while......
The Roman Empire grows, hidden and laughing.
