I have recently read a book entitled BBC Brainwashing Britain.
It is a real eye opener.
How the deliberate use of certain words can put a slant on a news item.
An example would be when people on the left did certain things like pulling down or vandalising statues it was just their way of expressing outrage at what has gone before and therefore permissible. Police in attendance but not intervening.
On the other hand
A demonstration by those who may have a different point of view will find that those attending will be described as 'the hard right' or 'extremists, xxxx's or white supremacists. Police authorised to make arrests.
I fear for the way this Country is going.
I do not glory in Britain's Colonial history or some of the things that were done.
However I do not see why the present generation should apologise or hang our heads in shame for those misdemeanours.
Great Britain with the help of our American cousins saved the heritage of many a European Country and we should be proud of what our forebears achieved and in many cases the sacrifices they made.
To those who glory in denigrating this Country I say if you don't like it, go live somewhere else.

Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
