Fascinating how so many
who are 'against immigration'
as this fellow here
dont quite seem to get that
William the Conqueror wasnt an Englishman
who conquered the rest of the world.
William the Conqueror conquered England.
And he most certainly didnt integrate.
#TeachBritain
the symmetry in these dates
its as if history is desperately
trying to keep us focused
I can guarantee
if the powers that be
who introduced #WindrushDay knew this detail
they would have made different choices
why and what are we celebrating?
scraps.

Jamaicans, the Indian line
check 2nd tweet on ganja
dont know more
but for sure the minute I read it
I was prepared to believe the etymology
what with my freshly acquired knowledge
from recently watching - & thoroughly enjoying -
Gangubai on Netflix

@rrunsworth
177 years ago today on 9 May 1845, the first ship carrying Indian indentured workers to Jamaica landed at Old Harbour Bay. It brought 200 men, 28 women and 33 children from various towns and villages in Northern India. Between 1845 and 1917 36,000 came; about two thirds remained.
this is undoubtedly a huge moment for
@maitlis
it will also be very insightful
- potentially instructive to the British collective -
how she comes out of it.
Emily, rise to the challenge.

MY LITTLE SISTER’S HISTORY TEACHER IS MAKING THEM LIST THE “POSITIVE EFFECTS” OF IMPERIALISM??????
Going forward I am making it my intention to no longer react to anything Badenoch says. It's going to be a challenge but I'll try.
Nothing I say here will change her perspective nor will it change the perspective of those who follow and support her.

The early-2000s were wild. You could just rock up to The Spectator with 1,000 words about why you don't like Jamaicans, and the editor (who would later go on to be Prime Minister) would say "yeah, let's run it."
we're in a crucial moment
gov literally forcing us
to reject
our history & reality
things we know to be true
dont be a spectator
here's a simple thing to do:
make your tweets do more right now
use hashtags
#SewellReport
#NoPoliceInSchools
#SchoolPrisonsUK
#TeachBritain
update:
- MP submitted my complaint - as required
- @PHSOmbudsman replied today
standard acknwldgmnt. flagged COVID delays. will get back to me.
will be v interesting esp w @T_Deeney speaking on
#SewellReport & #TeachBritain Colonial Past recently.
both form basis of complaint
so folks,
having followed the formal process
and exhausted all channels
I am now in the position to submit a formal complaint against the SewellReport
for the parliamentary ombudsman attention
I do this tomorrow.
Is there a line you would like me to include?
we should ensure the #SewellReport is formally rejected and not used to inform policy and legislation
lets #TeachBritain instead
#ProtestingSewell
- protect LawrenceMacpherson legacy of #institutionalracism
- Investigate and hold #CRED to account
- #RevokeSewell
'Reflecting their punitive rather than educational nature, secure schools will be accountable to the Ministry of Justice rather than the DfE.'

Like petitions against CRED & Sewell
#TeachBritain faced lots of push back within the system
including
languishing over 1yr to be debated
so that when it was finally brought
only EIGHT MPs turned up
on a lonely night in the backroom of debates
this was a disgrace.
#TeachBritain THE most successful parliamentary petition committee comes up for debate 28Oct, tmoro
Submitted in the height of #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter and #COVID in 2020
it harnessed the public mood
& immediately broke records for numbers

@rrunsworth @PartitionGroup will do. have ques&ideas :-)
liked you asking after ordinary ppl: how did they know? impact on rural, the poor, women, the disabled?
also who came to 1950sUK?
cant understand fears around teaching this as British history. If nothing else it is so interesting
#TeachBritain
settling down with my cuppa for this.
looking forward to the next hour
sounds very interesting
for sure
very important
#TeachBritain
