gettafa Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) BBC Radio 4 is laying it on thick with the BLM propaganda this past few weeks. The latest is the retelling of history regarding Winston Churchill and the effects policies during the war had on lives in India. Enlightening stuff of course but I can see our WInston's statue getting tumbled into the Thames. Edited July 21, 2020 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice people generally don't win wars. Total deaths in WWII were around the 25 million mark I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If accurate accounts of history are "BLM propaganda" perhaps BLM propaganda is a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I'm not denying accuracy. Prominence and relevance to today is another matter. History is 360 degrees, in three dimensions. The BLM propaganda machine is getting more than a healthy slice of it just now. It's starting to get too much, there is only so much of anything one can take on board, until it flip-flops.

By its nature it is going to be taken out of context. Many people from British Isles died horrendous deaths during the second world war, either volunteered or conscripted. You may know that only as a simple throwaway fact, or you may actually know that. I'm not sure. They have no voice. Only through those they left behind, but they are dying off now too. The liberal left are inching in with every death and memory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
