Credit where it's due I had Labour taking two years to tank the country and get found out for a bunch of midwit student union chancers but they've managed it before the end of the summer hols, kudos.
@tomhfh Willing to bet the Venn diagram of those politicians together with those who voted to close the same social amenities for a cold would be a single circle.
Today marks the anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury in 1948.
Today the media will fawn over the familiar story that Britain called, the Windrush generation answered, and came to rebuild the country.
The historical record tells a different story.
The passengers on the Windrush were not specially invited by the British government to come and rebuild Britain, and they certainly weren't invited by the native British people. The ship had spare berths, tickets were advertised in Jamaica, and people purchased passage because they believed they would have better opportunities in Britain.
Even the Labour government of the day was not enthusiastic about large-scale migration from the Caribbean and sought ways to discourage further arrivals.
The idea that Britain was rebuilt by the Windrush generation is equally misleading and an example of anti British propaganda from our captured media, education and political system. In 1948 Britain already possessed its industries, railways, ports, armed forces, legal system, Parliament, universities and centuries-old institutions. The rebuilding of wartime bomb damage was already well underway and the numbers arriving on the Windrush were tiny compared to Britain's population and workforce.
The slogan "You called and we came" is not history. It is a modern political myth invited by lefties with an agenda.
Britain did not begin in 1948. Our story did not start at Tilbury with the Empire Windrush. It stretches back through the world wars, the Industrial Revolution, the Tudors, the Plantagenets, the Anglo-Saxons and beyond.
An ancient nation should not be taught to forget its own history.
