Bank of England and the British financial system were deeply involved in the enslavement and trafficking of millions of African people. Slavery and colonialism is part of British history. It should be part of school curriculum, so that we can recognize ourselves and do better.

The English have traditionally sent two kinds of teenage boy away to institutions: the privileged to ruinously expensive boarding schools, and the "delinquent" to borstals. Both can be profoundly damaging to a child’s emotional development.

What we're seeing in the UK isn't new. The same old arguments, provoking rage & racism in ordinary people. Turning working class people against each other. The same charismatic leaders who seeks absolute power and claim victimhood & persecution to avoid scrutiny. Divide & conquer is the tactic.

I find it shocking that the media can just retroactively alter the text of historical publications. These articles are the records of what happened, this is akin to clinicians or police retrospectively altering clinical notes or reports to avoid accountability. Disgraceful bsky.app/profile/iain...
