Gaelic, Cumbric, Pictish, Scots and Norn will become the mother tongues of the people of this land and the letter yogh (ȝ) will be added to keyboards from Lerwick to Stranraer. We’re sitting waiting for Boris to tell us it’s ok to proceed with an investigation into the possibility of having an independence vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 25 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: When I was at school I thought the history I was taught was very varied and covered a wide range of topics including the French Revolution and the Slave Trade. It's clearly impossible to cover absolutely everything in a few years, however. In 2020 we have more information at our finger tips than ever before. If you want to learn about a specific subject it is only laziness that prevents you gaining a basic understanding of it. Why have schooling at all if we can just Google everything ourselves? A terrible argument. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves Churchill so much that at the four minute mark he thinks the man died fighting Hitler. Little Mix should be cleaning statues. Priceless stuff. He's had a go at Anthony Joshua anaw, personally i'd fuckin love to see him face up to him in person and i'm not much of a bxing fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red23 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) 11 hours ago, craigkillie said: The murder of yet another black person by the police in America last week led to an long-overdue discussion of the ways in which systemic racism is perpetuated in many Western countries. The United Kingdom is absolutely one such place, indeed our history with the slave trade makes us as a country directly responsible for a great deal of the continued inequalities which persist in places like the USA, which was the ultimate destination for many of the millions of people who these slave traders kidnapped from their homes. Therefore, people across the UK are protesting against this systemic racism in our country, as well as showing solidarity with the even more oppressed black people in the USA. I realise you already know this and are just posting a pithy wee remark to show yourself up, but it's still worth saying anyway. So what's the answer? hop in to a delorean? History is history don't use it as an excuse to go on a rampage. It's a far bigger problem in the US. The police in the US also need to wise up, but going back in time seems a bit much. Next we'll have an uprising of Gingers fighting against the inequalities they suffer. Where does it end?

He was fed up as the secondary school pupils got to choose what area to specialise in, and it was always WW2. Really enjoyed history in my three years in Sweden 8-12 yo. Got the French Revolution, American Civil War, Seven and Hundred Year wars, and the history of poverty driven emigration from Sweden to America, just what I remember. Emigration spiked due to a combination of famine in Northern Sweden and dissatisfaction with the Swedish govt which allowed vast exports of grain (mostly to the UK) while people were starving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An entirely pointless town these days. I had to go through it on a train that had been diverted. The announcer said the usual next stop will be Middlesbrough. The train stopped at what I thought was a derelict station, obviously an old one, the new one will be just ahead, but no. That was it, derelict. Then it left and I was relieved I was heading to Bradford. Derelict and worse than Bradford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking bleak hellscape with locals who are your typical, idiotic, racist pieces of shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
