British History, BBC Version

The BBC likes to set the social agenda in the UK ... it always takes a left leaning PC agenda on social issues, and without being asked or invited, generally acts as an extension of the Labour Parties polices.

Nothing illustrates this more than when it rewrites British history or myth, to fit its own agenda. e.g. TV adaptations of  the 'Merlin', 'King Arthur' or 'Robin Hood' stories, which now routinely feature African characters, despite their complete absence from the original stories. Even the "Black Knight" wasn't black in the stories I read.

The Arthurian Age was very Multicultural

Of course if you attempted to rewrite the myths of Africans, and put in white characters where none had existed before, then there would be an outcry, not least the from the BBC itself, so immigrants are left with their culture and traditions intact. Its only the British (sorry English) history, culture or myths that can be changed to fit the BBC's world view, because now that I think of it, William Wallace and Owen Glendower would never be rewritten either, as the Scots and Welsh are also minorities in the BBC world view as well.

Its frightening how so very little that the BBC does in support of its unelected agenda, is ever challenged anymore. Its almost as if the last thirty or forty years of left wing agenda being daily beamed out, has dulled the sensibilities of those who should be challenging the BBC.

Oh for a Mrs Mary Whitehouse to ride out like a modern day Don Quixote to tilt at the giant that is the BBC ... however the writings on the wall for the BBC, as its funding by both the taxpayer and non taxpayer via the 'TV Licence' is increasingly under threat.

Wiping England from History

There was news recently that Roman coins had turned up on a beach in Uist in the Western Isles of Scotland (which was outside the Roman Empire), and the excitement this had caused amongst local Historians and Archaeologists.

Personally I don't find the idea so exciting or strange as Roman trade was well beyond the boundaries of the Empire, and coins have been found as far afield as East Africa (Imperial coin found Nairobi), India, Ceylon (The Roman coins are certainly known to have been found in Ceylon, beginning with Emperors Nero and Vespasian), Vietnam and China, so 30 miles away from mainland Britain seems nothing odd.
