Hi All,
I agree with Clint’s comments entirely, it is not just the BoB that is missed but a lot of history is now consigned to the bin, as it’s not a mainstream subject at school anymore, as far as I can remember when I was taught history it set you up in life not only learning about your own country but others too. You learnt of each countrys good points and their bad, but overall you had a balanced view of the world, most of all the importance your own country and what part it played in the different conflicts it was involved with. More than that you learnt what your own country gave to the world through the years but this has definitely been portrayed as something that we should be ashamed of in this country like an MP said this country is becoming a mongrel society.
It’s as if we are ashamed of calling ourselves English/British more evidence that politically correctness is ever present in every thing you do in life, that and what you say will be held against you and put you in to a certain category when all you do is speak your mind or as today remember the proud history of our country that a few had their lives taken so we could live in relative peace and freedom. The more the Human rights bill and Political correctness is pandered to as an offence to a certain populace, with a government that is scared of it’s own shadow the more we will have to remember in private in the future, as I can see them banning such gatherings if this continues in the current vein. We should be proud of our history and not shove it in a closet out of site after all what other country does ?
Geoff.
