    I went to school when I was a kid in Kassel. During WWII, the British took exception to bombing the living hell out of Kassel because of the treatment on "downed" British airmen. The locals, hung and butchered their captives. Also, Kassel was a mfg. place where many armaments were manufactured. I went to school with a lot of British and American kiddos.

    Toledo was the capital of Spain in the Visigoth Kingdom, and after the reconquest and expulsion of the Muslims, it remained the capital until 1561, when King Philip II moved the court permanently to Madrid. Toledo is also famous for its steel. In the 16th and 17th centuries, at the height of the Spanish Empire, in Europe, Spanish soldiers, organized in the so-called Tercios de Infanteria, were feared for their discipline in combat, and their skill with firearms. and in the body combat, due to his skill in fencing, with steel swords from Toledo, which easily broke the Dutch, English or French swords, of much lower quality.04:25,That is the old Spanish flag, called the Cross of Burgundy. It was replaced in 1753 by the current flag, which is red and yellow. The Cross of Burgundy today is the military insignia of the Spanish Army.

    Spain is the European country with the most historical variety. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews and Christians have passed through. There are Roman, Visigothic and Arab constructions, Renaissance, neoclassical, modernist, etc. It is also the country in Europe with the most climatic diversity, from deserts, snowy mountains, Mediterranean areas, high mountains, forests, greens meadows, steppes, rivers, lakes, beaches, reservoirs, even volcanoes. It is also the second most mountainous country in Europe, after Switzerland, and the second with the most forests, after Sweden. There is more natural and cultural variety than is usually thought, beyond sun and beach.

    As a Bristolian I am really sick of these Middle Class Apologists painting our City as Troubled. The only People going on about this is Middle Class outsiders or Marxists intent on dismantling Britain. No one is making videos of the Ethnic Cleansing of Native Brits and the Islamisation of our Cities. First time in my 60 yrs i want to get out and leave this City to the loony party who want no borders no Country. The Slave trade spread Blacks all over the Caribbean where violence and crime is an every day life particularly in Jamaica and Trinidad . From the US to the UK the imported pimping , violence, drugs and Yardie gang murders have enslaved us all. They shout the loudest for their rights while other demographs just live their lives quietly . Now they want Compensation yet forget to ask their African enslavers . Bristol has been pushed by Woke Marxist Propaganda and the UA-camrs have jumped on the bandwagon . Sad to see my City go into decline while the Elites put the third World into once lovely places to live like Lawrence Hill. Arab Countries take on workers from third world and when the work is finished they must leave. As for third world goods like tee shirts etc yes stop it and see them complain because they can’t feed their kids. We trade with islands like Jamaica but can get the goods cheaper elsewhere but no one talks about that. So in a nut shell we’re not troubled at all and in fact we don’t want enforced integration

    There is an “unedited” Dracula novel called “ Powers of Darkess” from what I know is that Bram stoker made Dracula more passionate and more spookier what he originally intended. Dracula went through a ton of editing and rewriting until it got published. Too bad 1897 publishers back then was so repressed! Dracula does not even have a prologue!. And what do they mean by “Dracula’s Grave?” Do people really believe the count’s body was taken back to England after the book transpired! Dracula is just a story, it is not real life! Great tour! Really loved it!

    Has it ever occurred to you that the descendants of enslaved people are actually better off today than if slavery hadn't happened? The sale of black people by other black people has resulted in the unprecedented mass movement of those people around the globe. Notably they moved to the west and 'new world' which as we know was the land of opportunity. Now I don't condone slavery and know that those people suffered. But on being freed, they found themselves in civilised western nations like the US and Britain where there were opportunities aplenty for them. The ones that took advantage of those opportunities and worked hard to educate and improve themselves became successful. Out of hardship came hope. Can you say with any certainty that today we would have black people in a multitude of professions black politicians and even a black American President?

      @Lily_The_Pink972 You are quite delusional. Perhaps it's because you have no idea, care, or have any emotional empathy of what the effects of slavery have done to black people. The cruelty of the gruelling work, for no or little pay post slavery, and of course the sexual assaults on the women . And not to mention the splitting up of families as their brethren were sold off on a whim for profit for their white slavers. Oh yes ,they never had it so good ( sarcasm). And when you say you don't condone slavery, you are somewhat disingenuous here as you appear to look back on those times with some sort of sense of pride and fondness in white accomplishment and achievement. Let me inform you of the remnants of those wonderful days. If you are not aware and allow me to bring it to your attention, prejudice and racism still exist. You only have to look at the deep South in America, all be it the racism being stoked up by certain characters such as Donald Trump, the racism is alive and kicking. And by the way, I'm part black, if you are wondering 🤔.

      @annaharvey8729 Thank you for entering the conversation. We really appreciate everyone's views because without a full understanding of such events we will never truly understand and show the empathy deserved by all humans. I think on research, this is what really motivated him to find out more. If you haven't done the tour, met him, or experienced Bristol .. we highly recommend doing so.

      Well said Blacks have a huge chip on their shoulders. None want to go back to their Ancestrial homeland though. Everything is geared for them including TV Media and even Advertising propaganda. These opportunities would not be possible for most in Africa. Britains decline started in the Windrush Years and now is probably irreversible . The Globalists want a one Nation State in Europe and will push it against the wishes of the Public. A Orwellian nightmare

      It’s not just one raid , for quite a long time prior to any uk involvement in the slave trade Africans were raiding the uk and Europe for slaves . Also did he mention what happened to the African slaves not bought and shipped to the americas , they were eaten or ritually sacrificed by torture . So people alive many of them involved in the slave trade felt these people were better off in Virginia . Think that didn’t happen watch cannibal warlords of Liberia on UA-cam or goggle cannibalism Sierra Leone civil war or muti murder it’s still happening

    What is the issue ? Africans sold other Africans, and some Europeans bought them. I'm pretty sick of hearing about it. When are we going to talk about the actual slave traders themselves ?

    • @annaharvey8729
      @annaharvey8729 2 місяці тому

      However, whether it was white slavers or black slavers, does that make it more acceptable? Answer no, it doesn't! Also, I'm sick of this old trope and tired out argument, trying to justify and defend the indefensible because it upsets your sensibilities somewhat. Fact! If we are ever going to learn and move on from racism and greed and the undeserved wealth that was brought about by slavery. Then, we have to face up to the truth of the malevolent historical facts of this evil trade. To sum up, we must learn from history!

I know it is here till Sat 7th of Sep 😎 + as you said not all but some of them should be left in the past! But also in the 80's, you just has your regulars that would wear logo t-shirts, black/blue jeans + black/white Nike trainers as you know! Along with designer brands like: Moss Bros, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Lacoste, etc as you know + yeah a museum that size can't really tell the whole history from 1980-89!

      Yes, we love waterparks, and theme parks - but only when they are done well. We are so much more careful about where we go now, because we have seen some negative impacts of over tourism and commercialisation. It would be great to do a review on a water/theme park to see how well it scores in terms of having benefit for the community and for the environment. Is there a good one you recommend in the area?
