Who cares about his drinking habits? As for the colonial stuff, so what. It wasn't as bloody as you suggest and most have found out that self-government isn't any better. In a lot of places it's worse unless you siphon off all the cash of course.

I love the Brit bashing on these boards. I guess some people can't see beyond their own prejudices.
