Utopia has banned neuroses
punishes illegal thought.
The people nurse, in static poses,
neurotic fears of being caught.

Rome thought flogging a queen would silence her people.

It did not.

Her name was Boudicca. It means Victorious Woman. 🇬🇧

She was queen of the Iceni, a tribe that had lived in modern Norfolk for centuries.

Her husband Prasutagus made a deal with Rome. When he died in AD 60, he left his kingdom jointly to Rome and his daughters. He thought it would protect them.

Rome ignored the will. They seized the lands. Treated the king's relatives as slaves.

Then they flogged the queen in a public square. In front of her people.

She raised an army.

Not just the Iceni. Every tribe that had had enough joined her. 120,000 people.

She marched on Camulodunum. Modern Colchester. The Roman capital of Britain. Built around a temple to Emperor Claudius. A temple paid for by the Britons Rome had conquered.

She burned it to the ground.

Rome sent the 9th Legion to stop her. She destroyed it. Almost to the last man.

The Roman governor was 250 miles away on Anglesey, massacring Druids. When the news reached him, he raced south.

London was defenceless. He made a decision. He abandoned it.

She burned London.

Today, under the streets and Tube stations of modern London, archaeologists find a thick black-red layer of ash from that fire.

They call it the Boudican Destruction Horizon.

Then she burned St Albans.

Around eighty thousand Romans and their allies were dead.

Nero, in Rome, considered abandoning Britain altogether.

But Rome's general chose his ground. A narrow valley along Watling Street. His ten thousand trained legionaries against her vast untrained force. The narrow ground broke her.

How she died, no one knows for certain. Some Roman historians said poison. Others said sickness.

Two thousand years later, her statue stands on the north bank of the Thames. Outside Parliament. The woman who burned London, watching over the city she destroyed.

What Rome did to her, she made them pay for.

Did they teach you that?

We will. 🇬🇧

That is your history.

This is who we are.

We find what Britain has forgotten. And we tell it properly.

@godblesstoto For what it's worth, the real point of the debate is that the authorities cannot censor anything that was said there thanks to Parliamentary Privilege.

There's a reason it was held right before the report gets published.
