In other words, Labour intends to fill young minds with its own anti-British brand of politics rather than history.

And there’s more.

Be afraid … be very afraid.

Personally, I don't think politicians should have a lot of say in what history is taught. I'd rather leave that to professional educators and historians to decide.

This sounds too much like political propaganda, and I wouldn't be surprised if Abacus had something to do with it.

judging by AB
no one learns a damn thing from their school history lessons
so there is no threat or danger

the British EMpiire is very very bad has been around for a VERY long time usually dated from MacmIllans Winds of Change speech in Sarf Africa 1960.
well Sarf efrica and Zim have made a great success from being released from the british yoke innit?

and Hong Kong - the Blitish yoke is seen as much lighter than what is coming from 'we are one coutnry' Peking....

No, no,no! On the whole we did more good than harm, I think - and just look at what has happened since countries were given independence. As far as I am aware, we are the only empire ever to give-up countries more-or-less voluntarily.
