At times like this, it is instructive to recall what George
Orwell had to say about English intellectuals and how they regard their own
country:
England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during God save the King than of stealing from a poor box.
From The Lion and the Unicorn (1941), Part I: 'England Your England'
Those words are never truer than today.
The BBC is ashamed of Britain and the British people, especially the English, and
wants to erase us from our own history, rob us of our homeland, and destroy our
culture.
The role of blacks and other non-white groups in Britain’s history
is insignificant, assuming there was a role at all. None of us here has anything against people
who are not white, but we, the various indigenous British peoples, have the
right to our own home in the world where we can have the space to be ourselves,
to speak freely without fear of censure, to converse with others who understand
us and share the same cultural reference points. We, the British people, have a proud history
overall which has produced a distinct culture.
It is not too late to save Britain. Among other things, the BBC – the Black Broadcasting Corporation – is anti-British
and must be abolished.
Huh thats odd. I just read an article in Al Jazeera that supports your argument, in a way. Although sort of opposite, as you might imagine. They claim that the BBC has been biased against black and Arabic (and generally non-white peoples) for a long time, though in a less heinous fashion now as in ages past. Both of you mention Orwell. Their article is a little more in-depth, but from what I can tell both of you make good points. Perhaps it *was* very biased towards the interests of white Brits, but now it has overcompensated on visible presentation of people of color, as if to say "look guys! see! we aren't racist anymore!" I was only in England a short time, but from what I saw there was alot less racism there than in the USA, where I live. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2018/11/23/when-the-bbc-did-fake-news/
