They can't help themselves can they. The BBC are at it again claiming that Churchill was responsible for the 1843 Bengal famine that killed 3 million people. As usual the BBC gave a one sided view to a disaster that divides historians, distinguished people on both sides of the argument disagree. My points are this: 1. Why only a one sided approach why no input from those who say he was constrained by the war in Asia. 2. And more importantly why was this an item on BBC News at 10? This is not news but a debate that has been going on for 70 years. What next tune in to the 6 o'clock news to find out if Boudica has a chance against the Romans. Defund the BBC

They had ‘Churchill’s Finest Hour’ with Gary Oldman playing Churchill on BBC1 a month ago. They’ll have ‘The Enigma Code’ on again when Britain and Churchill had to let German victories and British deaths continue for the long term goal of keeping it secret we’d cracked the enigma code. Maybe my relative who worked in the French Radio dept at Bletchley Park shouldn’t have bothered in case someone got hurt defending our freedom and the world from tyranny. Could’ve ended up being a better option in a few generations’ time.

Churchill can hardly be held responsible for a weather- induced famine. It's like saying Johnson is personally responsible for excess covid-19 deaths. Could have done better, but we don't seriously think it was done on purpose.

Just refuse to pay your unfair & illegal TV tax, What can they do? NOTHING. As long as you say you dont & wont watch them in any shape or form they cant do owt. They WILL threaten, but cant enforce, IF, & its a mahoosive IF, 'enforcement officers' turn up on your doorstep, 1) You can deny them entry & 2) unplug TV's & say you aint watching them.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I didn't find that report unfair and unbalanced and Churchill's problems were explained. I don't follow these historians who weigh in with praise for Churchill's war effort, typical Max Hastings deflections. In fact historians seem to always err on the British version of events, unable to face up to the truth. The British Empire in respect of this disaster and many others, was responsible by its stripping of the colonies for home consumption. We ransacked them, in the case of India they were worse off when we departed than they had been 200 years earlier when Clive arrived to strip them bare. The BBC view was not one-sided, it is your education that is false, as our education system produces a totally one-sided and completely distorted view of history. Recommended viewing:- Dr.Worsley on 'history's greatest fibs', just for starters, and included an episode on India. And it is on BBC2........

You will find, for instance, there is Marxist history/ feminist history - all kinds of history. The truth is somewhere in between.

But it's not news ! Which I had assumed was your point. It also begs the further question - what is the point in promoting things like this? I don't given a flying monkeys about any moral take on history, I couldn't care less if a little island nation was responsible for purging half the world. What I do take offence to however is a media organisation trying to provide justification for minority groups to hold resentment against the country and culture within I live and the possible consequences of that. When did Treason stop being a crime? #defundthebbc and all that.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

BBC Panorama was guilty of political bias And yet again the BBC has to admit it made errors. Funny if the BBC is as unbiased as they say they are why do they never makes errors the other way around e.g. pro Brexit pro right wing?
