Looking at the GCSE syllabus they’re already doing this aren’t they?

School children should be taught about the “grave injustices” of the British Empire, Jeremy Corbyn will say on Thursday, prompting a furious response from Tory politicians.

The Labour leader will announce plans to improve the teaching of black British history and the history of the British Empire, colonialism and slavery “to help ensure their legacy is more widely understood across the country”.

Mr Corbyn will outline Labour’s plans to support a new Emancipation Educational Trust, aimed at educating future generations about slavery and the struggle for emancipation.

  1. Marxist scum announces even more Marxist indoctrination. Support the sack of shite if you hate Britain.

    It would take only some Trump style courage and a few simple moves to finish ZaNu for ever.

    And we have the Fish Faced Cow.

    Two treasonous cunts together.

  2. Can they cover the repeated failure of socialism? That it turns rich countries into poor countries? That poor countries fail their citizens on numerous life outcomes?

    Can they cover that migration shows that people move from being medium income in poor countries to poor in richer countries – suggesting that perhaps it is the absolute level of income not where you rank on the scale that people most care about? Discuss what this implies for the current obsession with inequality

  3. Idiot who managed two A levels at Grade E thinks we’re teaching kids the wrong things. Just the man we want as PM.

  4. Bloke in North Dorset

    Presumably the section on slavery will show how [classic] liberal, enlightened thinking led to the end of it in the west and cover the sacrifices made by the Navy in enforcing Abolition?

    I won’t be holding my breath.

  5. Recently reading Mungo Parks’ Travels in the Interior of Africa recently showed me that the Moors, facilitating the slave trade, are the ancestors of the cunts facilitating the economic migrants traveling across the Med in rubber boats.

    Bet that isn’t on the proposed syllabus.

  6. For fairness sake will they be covering the real major slave traders? The reason the northern shore of the Med is ringed with fortresses, the reason there are no black slave descendants in areas occupied by the various Arab and Ottoman empires despite their dependence on slave labour, the blood tax in the Balkans…?

  7. BBC’s Question Time shows there will be no shortage of black people to teach our children what cunts our ancestors were and how we haven’t changed.

    Well, not all children, obviously. No requirement for these sort of teachers in London, Oldham, Rotherham etc. etc.

  8. Please, NN, no exaggeration.

    I well remember a commenter on here who sought to prove that the numbers of people murdered under Stalin’s regime was grossly exaggerated by us running dog capitalists. He proved to his own satisfaction that the true figure was only one or two million and that Stalin was quite a nice bloke really.

    Bit like Labour and the Jews. The Jews are making Labour do it, obviously.

  9. What about the grave injustices of feudalism? – thing is someone teaches you this is how it used to be,, you automatically go, nope, wouldn’t want to live in that system. Doesn’t mean you can’t go larping around the place as Brave Sir Robin.

  10. I trust the proposed syllabus will include the thousands of English people living in the south of the country who were enslaved by marauding Moors and Muslims over many years; the fact that it was the British Government who initiated the end of slavery in the Western world; and the huge number of British seamen, Marines and soldiers who died, fighting those western countries which still had a slave trade? Will it include the story about St Patrick being a Welshman who was enslaved by the Irish? Will it include the fact that when the British abolished slavery and offered free passage back to Africa, less than half of the freed slaves took up that offer? I somehow don’t think so.

  11. Bit like Labour and the Jews. The Jews are making Labour do it, obviously.

    I’m gonna be accused of being a thick.racist.antisemaphore but Jeremy Corbyn isn’t the aggressor in his Judean People’s Front spat.

    The Jews (dun, dun, duuuunnnnn!) are.

    Does anyone who isn’t hysterical actually believe that Jez – a guy who looks like he’s been kicked off his allotment by a gang of primary school toughs – is “an existential threat to Jewish life”? (i.e. Basically Hitler)

    No. But every Jewish newspaper and Jonathan Sacks do (or claim to, I have trouble believing even frail old women are scared of Jezza).

    The Jez vs. Jews thing is interesting, but not for the surface reasons given. What’s interesting is the level of coordinated media attention (it was the second-biggest organised propaganda campaign over the summer, after Project Fear 2.0) and the fact that the Jews appear to be losing.

    On that latter point, it’s difficult to imagine a senior British politician surviving a sustained campaign to paint a toothbrush moustache on him – until relatively recently.

    But in a diverse, multiculti society where Jews number about 0.5% of the population (and falling) and Muslims are about 5% (and rising) – well, part n parcel, innit?

    There’s an obvious lesson in here somewhere, which nobody will learn.

  12. Steve, Corbyn isn’t a threat to Jews per se. It’s the company that he keeps (Hamas, his Iranian buddies, etc.) that are the threat.

  13. Henry – Eh. What are we meant to be worried about? Corbyn proclaiming himself the Jezatollah? Outsourcing the police to Hezbollah?

    This is what I mean when I say Jez isn’t the aggressor in this spat. He’s not ganging up on Jews (he’s just an idiot who likes every “radical” lefty group going), they’re ganging up on him.

    I think there’s something to the Iran thing though. Until Jeremy won the Labour leadership, both parties could be reliably expected to support the exact same line on Foreign: endless war in the Middle East.

    Would a Jez government support Israel’s foreign policy ambitions? Would he be up for doing to Iran what we’ve done to Iraq and Libya? Probably not. I reckon this is more about foreign policy than anything else.

  14. “The Jez vs. Jews thing is interesting, but not for the surface reasons given. What’s interesting is the level of coordinated media attention (it was the second-biggest organised propaganda campaign… ”

    Aah yes, the old “Jews control the media shite”.

  15. Ironman – ha! You’re like a metronome on this sort of realtalk.

    But ACKSHUALLY, bigot, I wasn’t thinking about this in terms of “THE JOOZ CONTROL THE PAPERS” at all. (Though they certainly have more influence than their numbers suggest – there are more Welsh speakers than Jews in the United Kingdom but we are rarely troubled with Cambrian concerns)

    I was thinking about it in terms of a broader effort by the British political and media establishment to nobble an existential threat – not to Jews, as has been so risibly claimed – but to the cozy status quo. (Cosy, that is, unless you’re a Libyan or an Iraqi or an Afghan or a Syrian). Hence the comparison to Project Fear 2.0

    I’m afraid you made a racist assumption, Ironman. I’m not angry though – just disappointed. Is that why you left the New South Africa? Because you keep a picture of Eugene Terreblanche in a heart-shaped locket around your neck?

    You can tell me.

  16. Steve, I’ll tell you why I left the “New” South Africa…because having Mandela as President would be the same as having Gerry Adams as Prime Minister.

  17. Funny thing, I did A level history over 30 years ago and when I had to do some cultural awareness training for some work involving First Nations groups a few years back I knew significantly more about the history (including the abuses etc) the British had been involved in than the local Canadians and they all seemed surprised when I pointed this out on a discussion about educating people and that I had been taught a balanced view, maybe they have dumbed down the curriculum or what seems to be the focus on 20th century history since I was in school has meant they have missed out on these aspects.

  18. “He’s not ganging up on Jews (he’s just an idiot who likes every “radical” lefty group going), they’re ganging up on him.

    Can’t really accept denials of racist intent if you’re going to write somethig like that.

  19. Steve–I have no doubt Jizz hates Jews cos it goes with the scummy territory of the left.

    Is he a threat to them. Yes. Sure , he couldn’t knock the skin off a fucking rice pudding but Mao didn’t know kung fu and Adolf was not exactly MMA material either. He isn’t going to bash or harass any of them personally.

    Don’t be fooled by the old Grandad bit. He is a very nasty cunt. Ball-free but so was Uncle Joe . Who always kept well clear of trouble apart from ordering it up for others.

    Likewise the rest of us who are not leftscum never mind Jews. Or for that matter it usually isn’t long before leftscum start in on leftscum. Jizz won’t be working a cosh or dragging folk into marias. They always have plenty of human sewage on hand for that kind of work.

    Anything that hurts the marxian bastard is A-OK with me.

  20. I went to school in the 1970s and 1980s, and they were teaching colonialism, empire, slavery and the Empire’s 100-year mission to stamp out slavery.

    I still remember the little pictures of Henry The Navigator and the little maps of the progress down the African coast.

  21. Henry – Steve, I’ll tell you why I left the “New” South Africa…because having Mandela as President would be the same as having Gerry Adams as Prime Minister.

    Sure, but Mandela was pretty much the best option once white Saffers handed over their country to black rule democracy.

    The reason SA is a now Zimbabwefying shithole that’s going to impoverish, drive out or murder its white population has nothing to do mere party politics. It wouldn’t be any different under a competing gang of indigenes.

    Therefore, Ironman is a big racist. (Notice I don’t say thick. or prick. because I’m not RUDE)

    Ironman – Can’t really accept denials of racist intent if you’re going to write somethig like that.

    Whose? Jez or my own supposedly nefarious, Hitlery intent?

    I mean, it’s not Jeremy Corbyn who is organising a media campaign denouncing The Jews, is it? Is it racist to notice this? (Apparently it is. I don’t care.)

    Mr Ecks – Sure , he couldn’t knock the skin off a fucking rice pudding but Mao didn’t know kung fu and Adolf was not exactly MMA material either. He isn’t going to bash or harass any of them personally.

    Hitler was a decorated WW1 hero. Mao and Ho were military geniuses. Even poor old Benito was a charismatic, daring leader.

    Jeremy is a guy who’d lose a fight with a yucca plant. Let’s just say I’m not particularly worried he’ll throw me in a labour camp.

    Anything that hurts the marxian bastard is A-OK with me

    I couldn’t disagree more.

    First off, the enemy of your enemy isn’t actually your friend.

    What’s the leftwing alternative to Jez? It’s another Blairite stooge dedicated to destroying Britain while pretending to be a “pretty straight sort of guy”. Is that better? I submit to you that it is not. God made our enemies ridiculous because He loves us.

    Secondly, lying is a bad strategy. It always comes back to haunt you in the end. Right wingers jumping on the Jez = Shitler bandwagon will come to regret it, much in the same way that it’s a terrible idea for righties to indulge feminist or other types of witchhunt.

    Roper: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!

    More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you — where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man’s laws, not God’s — and if you cut them down — and you’re just the man to do it — d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake.

    Like it or not (and I don’t), Corbynism is legitimate. He’s the democratically-chosen leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition and represents a sizeable proportion of the British electorate.

    Instead of monstering the guy (which worked so well in 2017, eh?) or indulging in smear campaigns which can and will be effortlessly repurposed to destroy the next Rightie who wonders why we’re doing stupid shit like bombing Libya and letting in hordes of feral migrants, maybe the Right should focus on doing things that are popular instead?

  22. There is no such thing as black history. History is written. Blacks had no written language until whitey came along.

    Note that ‘teaching of black British history’ is not the same as black history. It is the history of blacks in Britain. British history. It is the history of blacks in Britain.

    Teaching British history is good and important. Teaching black British history is corruption at the top. It is divisive. It is anti-British.

  23. Steve–“Hitler was a decorated WW1 hero.”

    He was a particularly grovelling and servile soldier boy–the opposite side of his arrogance and dictatorial nature–who was sent as a runner past some dangerous situations. Him and millions of others. He was “decorated” for that. OK not a coward–unlike say Stalin. Nothing near a “hero” in my book.

    “Mao and Ho were military geniuses. Even poor old Benito was a charismatic, daring leader.”

    Mao ran away to conserve his evil crew for a takeover after the war. Chiang Kai Shek’s men did most of the Jap-fighting. Mao reckoned whichever side won he and his soviet supported scum would be fresh to fight them. And so it was. Genius? Hardly. Shrewd enough –if you discount that he gave no shite about his nation –only Marxist evil and its triumph. Ho –bog standard irregular. Giap might count better. Ho just hid and got help from other leftscum. Including American.

    “Jeremy is a guy who’d lose a fight with a yucca plant. Let’s just say I’m not particularly worried he’ll throw me in a labour camp.”

    You mistake his nature. He is entirely evil enough. Nor would he be fighting the plant. He only has to give the order. Or does his lifetime of sucking up to violent and evil scum suggest to you that he is really some kind of addled Vicar or something?

    “I couldn’t disagree more. ”

    You’d be wrong.

    “First off, the enemy of your enemy isn’t actually your friend. ”

    But it is the lesser of two weevils.

    “What’s the leftwing alternative to Jez? It’s another Blairite stooge dedicated to destroying Britain while pretending to be a “pretty straight sort of guy”. Is that better? I submit to you that it is not. God made our enemies ridiculous because He loves us.”

    What you say might make sense if wishing could remove them all. Not being effective against one lot of leftist evil doesn’t somehow magically diminish the other branch of leftist evil. Esp when BluLabour are part of the Bliar axis.

    “Secondly, lying is a bad strategy. It always comes back to haunt you in the end. Right wingers jumping on the Jez = Shitler bandwagon will come to regret it, much in the same way that it’s a terrible idea for righties to indulge feminist or other types of witchhunt. ”

    In general you must be joking. The fucking scum of the left have told enough lies over the course of their existence to flood the known Universe. The Fish Faced Cow stood up for two years solid and propelled enough of her lying bad breath past her false teeth to gas a poke of Devils. Is she being flayed for that?

    You confuse the left controlled media shit storm against the slightest thing the right do with some sort of “punishment” for lying. If you are leftscum no such thing exists. Suck their “narrative’s” dick and there will NEVER be any comeback even when–like Billy Boy Clinton or Bliar or May–everybody absolutely knows you are a liar.

    “Sort of related:

    This is the better quote Steve:

    There we are agreed. We need to be doing right in every sense. But that does not mean we shouldn’t be just as dirty a set of fighters as the left.

    And lastly I have no doubt he IS an anti-Semite as it still goes with the territory. He is bog standard Marxist scum–there is nothing original about him.
