Anti British hype

Sadly most of it is. And a lot of it comes from students and recently ex-students who have been taught this by lefty winf teachers and tutors.
I thought teachers were supposed to be politically neutral in the class room but I know a teacher who works in a private school in Newport and she is proud of the fact that she teaches all her pupils to think that the labour party is the only party in the world and that if their parents vote conservative they are scum. oNt only is she proud of it but she brags that all her colleagues and fellow professionals that she knows think and act the same way. That cannot be right in any way!

[Croesy Blue]

So people should only be taught positive history about their country then?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Easy to say but if all the anti British hype is to be believed they should have refused to do what they were ordered.
You can't say they were only obeying orders, the Germans tried that and look how much good that did them.

What really pisses me off is that all this anti British talk is coming from British people who have the fortune to live in this country. If we are such a bad role model and have been so horrible to so many countries why are all these people flocking to come her,e sometimes literally walking through 4 or 5 countries that are perfectly safe just to get to UK. They obviously didn't have the same history lessons as some people born in the last 20 or 30 years or so.

The reason why a lot of people try desperately to come to this country is because there are established communities of people like them because of our colonial past as post war immigration

People tend to gravitate to familiar places

For example people fleeing the civil war in Somalia in the 1990s came to the uk and settled in areas of cities with large somali populations , cardiff for example

When brits emigrate abroad they head towards areas of spain that have a lot of ex Pats that serve British fry ups for breakfast and other british traditional dishes

Like chicken tikka masala

What cannot be right it this

This country has an imperialist, colonialist past

We were never , ever taught about slavery in school or our involvement in africa and the indian sub continent

It was all bollocks about henry 8th and his wives

well I was. so we have an Imperialist colonial past. so what? Why should we be put in a position where people make us feel guilty of things that happened before we were born.

Why does it make you feel so uncomfortable?

[xsnaggle]

Why does it make you feel so uncomfortable?

What makes you think it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm at ease with it.
I suppose using that phrase is so you can keep using it and eventually hope that people will see it as the truth. Same as usual.

Yeah same for me too. The most interesting aspects of history are the more nuanced parts of it, it's stupid we are taught that everything Britain has ever done is great and nothing we've done is bad.

[Croesy Blue]

So why don’t you want to hear it then? It’s interesting isn’t it?

[xsnaggle]

What the feck are you on about. don't pretend to be the amateur psychologist, you're wasting your time. Its rubbish spouted by people who live in a cossetted existence and are taught by people who should be unbiased that everything about British history is wrong. If they lived in another place they may begin to realise how lucky they are and wind their necks in!

[Croesy Blue]

I don't think learning accurate history about your country means you hate your country.

[xsnaggle]

I don't think learning accurate history about your country means you hate your country.

I never said it did. the problem is what they are learning is not accurate. they are being taught be people who do, or who have a one eyed vision of it and can only see the bad.

Because colonialism is celebrated by many people and it’s legacy affects modern society

Can’t talk for all countries but maybe some people migrate from some countries to Britain as Britain is rich. Rich by stealing the wealth of other countries. And the developing world therefore wouldn’t be able to offer the same life as Britain

It is that now , I think the Windrush era saw a need for both sides one for the good people of the commonwealth and West Indies who wanted to better themselves in terms of earnings , and of course the fact they were desperately needed to provide Labour needs in jobs like bus drivers that we could not fill in the larger cities , that can still be seen in public health jobs to this day , they have added a wonderful contribution to our country in my view .

you do talk crap sometimes. you are a perfect example of what I mean, you're British but you love to slag the country off, like it makes you a better person. It doesn't it makes you two faced and a parasite.

Which bit of that do you not think it true?

[xsnaggle]

Which bit of that do you not think it true?

Most of it.

[Croesy Blue]

Most of it.

Do you not think Britain took wealth from the colonies? What do you think the point of them was?

Yeah, they have added a brilliant contribution

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

well I was. so we have an Imperialist colonial past. so what? Why should we be put in a position where people make us feel guilty of things that happened before we were born.

Well until recently feck all was taught about black history in british schools

Most history talked about medieval times , the tudors etc

Modern history ignored the civil rights movement

It's no good saying why should we be ashamed of our colonial past if we were never taught about it ?
