"Comparing The British Empire To Nazi Germany Is DISGRACEFUL!" | Historian Slams Teaching Guidance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- School guidance organisation ‘The Key’ has told teachers to present the British Empire to secondary school kids like Nazi Germany.
The Key began as a government backed initiative, and now provides teaching resources to more than 100,000 school leaders.
Its “anti-racism curriculum review” has been slammed for 'polluting formative young minds'.
Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo blasts the decision, saying that it is "disgraceful" and "disrespectful" to people within the Empire who fought with Britain.

I get why citizens of former colonies might hate the British. What I will never understand is why so many choose to live here given that we are allegedly a despicable race. I would have thought this country would be the last choice. I also have experienced immigrants living here declaring that they dislike the British, why come here???
We gotta take back what was taken from us obviously? Use your brain 😂
@@freeeepalestine__ no self pride then? No way would I live in a country that had subjected me to colonialism
Opportunity. They know that there will be bigots and even outright hostility, but they are just like anyone else. They want nice things, a good job, and their children doing better than they did. Staying in Africa, Southern Asia, or the Caribbean doesn't give them the same opportunities to basically earn money and get ahead.
@@cliveb4845 the pride is taking back what was stolen from you. Why would you sit in your country that’s been destroyed when you can go to the people who destroyed it, take back what was taken and go back to your country with what you’ve gained?
The citizens of the empire absolutely did NOT hate the British. Most were deeply proud to be British despite the majority never having set eyes on a native Briton. The empire meant education, travel, new businesses, new products, social progress, peace. It didn't have to be imposed they wanted it - much like the Roman empire but with far less warfare. This nonsense about an evil empire is propagated by nationalist groups seeking their political power and by post-Trotskyists who've lost touch with reality.
Welcome to the future. Our grandparents fought the war for NOTHING
They fought because they were told to.
@@johnkeane1419 Would you like to tell that to my 96 year old grandfather who volunteered well after the point when that was not the cool thing to do because he thought the Nazis were evil and the world was better off without them?
Would you care to tell that to the 2.5 million citizens of the Raj who put on a uniform and provided history's largest volunteer only army to make the world safe for democracy and take their place within the nations of the world? Or the men who still volunteer for the Ghurkas, that they were wasting their time despite the fact that they are the population most likely to lose out from an Axis victory excluding the Jews? Or the men and women like Sir Ken Adam who fled their country and then joined our forces to save their own homeland from themselves?
The difference between now and then is that back them, most people had clear values and a sense of self, purpose and responsibility despite whatever circumstances they found themselves in in their daily lives, we clearly do not. Go to hell.
Self interest, mainly.
Who are these over educated, uneducated?
It’s chilling, isn’t it? These people talk with the certainty of experts, while displaying shocking ignorance…and they seem to be in positions of influence too…
As an Indian, We still are proud of British legacy and the impact in our society, mainly Education and Healthcare which tops along with sociological changes.
British Colonisation
The British (Christians) came to India one of the Richest country in the world accounting 27% of Global GDP in 1700's , 23% in 1800's.
Over 200 years of Depredation, Exploitation,Loot & Destruction reduced it to a Posterchild of a Third World Poverty.
90% of population living below the Poverty line when British left in 1947,Literacy Rate is below 17%,Life Expectancy is 27%,Economy is 25 billion dollars,Growth rate from1900- 1945 is 0.001%,British India draining the country with Taxes& Resources over 200 year's of colonization.
We as Britons don't care about the Colour of your skin we care about the content of your Character
@@kirannnnnn Totally wrong, a tiny minority of royal kings were rich, others were ill treated as slaves. In Kerala women paid breast Tax…please read history!!!
@@benbsingh thank you for saying that it is appreciated
They killed a lot of people in India,Genocide levels in the process of taking Indias resources ,i think you got Rose tinted spectacles on..😢
They never want to talk about the marxist empires though.
Yes stalin killed more than hitler !!
Yet everyone wants to come here
Yeah because of this nonsense.
Yep, they are all FOS !
@@terencemullins1422what is FOS - ffs?

My late Sri Lankan gran advised me that out of all the coloniser (Dutch, Portuguese and British) it was only the British that didn’t use torture. And her husband, my grandad, fought for the British army against Nazis in WW2.
@@jonnylotr I have found Sri Lankans to be friendly honorable people
How is this poisonous bilge permitted in our schools? It just beggars belief.
I seem to remember hearing that Gandhi, when asked if his campaign to liberate India would have succeeded in Nazi Germany, replied no, or that at least it would have been very difficult with much suffering. Presumably more suffering than that involved in his dealing with the British.
The British Empire is the greatest global trading area ever created by Mankind, it’s the foundation of every modern Western culture and what all the Third World countries aspire to. It is my ancestor’s gift to the world- A proud Englishman
It also gave the world hatred based on race
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108 that is so wrong it passes into some other dimension of stupidity.
@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108 you know the British abolished slavery. Let's not pretend.
Men like William Wilberforce fought for the right for ALL men yo be free.
The reason slavery ended is because of white Christian men, and because British citizens paid for the slaves freedom. That debt was paid off in 2015, I paid for it with my taxes. So did most adult brits alive today.
Libya has open slave trade markets; let's not pretend that you care about slavery.
You just want to hate us.
Don't forget that the industrial revolution began here which lifted BILLIONS out of poverty and still does!!
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108nope that already existed.....one example; The Roman empire. There, fixed your mistake for you!!!
Unbelievable wasn't like that at all these people don't know history....
If the Brits were so bad ,why have so many Commonwealth countries continued as such when they were able to be independent and ' Go their own way ' ?
I will never understand why these people detest their own country, its history and culture.
This has been going on for years !!
The Roman Empire was far more brutal than the British Empire but somehow gets treated far better by teachers.The "what have the Romans done for us" scene in "The Life of Brian" is funny because we were all taught the same good things about the Roman Empire at school.
British Empires Body Count got to be higher than the Nazis,surely ? 😮
Thanks for the update.
What is the best way to make money from crypto investment as crypto is turning around massively.?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known crypto consultant.
He is Michael Bryant Elmore xxx
To be honest I invested as low as $10,000 because I was skeptical about crypto initially. Recieving my profit weekly without any attached fees gave me more confidence to reinvest
Same here, I believe the Bitcoin ETFs will be life changing opportunity with my current portfolio of 132k made from my investments with my personal financial advisor I totally agree with you xx
The words that come to mind can not be said here
This british bashing organisation has a address and staff.....they should be visited to rigorously debate these misguided slanderous claims
👋👋👋 tf the king's speech has been and gone
.hello Rafe. You give me hope so sending my heartfelt thanks 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The British Empire was at times brutally racist, murderous and violent with the killing of those opposed to its rule being seen as morally justified, even a moral good. The resources being discussed make this point . . . however they go too far in suggesting teachers do not allow the subject to be presented even-handedly, no good points should be allowed to ballance out the bad. The Empire was, like Starlin, Hitler, Mao, the Belgiums and Portuges, all bad, with no redeming features at all. This feels to me like political manipulation and also not supportable historically.
Most of the points he made are the exact points i used to make in my twitter days, just to correct him on 1 thing the indian population was abt 125 million in 1750 just before britain 1st got involved, it increased to 170 million by 1800, imo.
Small comfort but we now have heard Labour's manifesto
It stands to reasson when you compare people like blair and starmer and rayner to hitler after all their favourite song is
If i ruled the world.
What on earth "stands to reason"? What's the meaning?
At the end of the day these people will accept titles political appointments money from the same folk who they challenge.
Is there no end to this madness?
Nationalism and false pride...
Study non British and non Indian history to know British Raj in India.
Same here
Very true
He mentioned 1940 and 1941 what about what the British empire did in 1938 and the munich agreement
Munich won us the time to rearm for the war that all the realists knew was coming. During that time, volunteers flocked from across the empire to a mother country most of them had never seen, to take up arms for the fight.
Yes it is but not to the islamic state..
Well to be fair, we were all ethnonationalists back then. That was before whites were bullied into pretending they aren't racist.
No it was before the race baiting lefties decided they needed something to get angry about.
Butt true

160 million Indians people dead just in 40 years of British Christian Colonisation
British never return artifacts and never recognised World war one and two indian soldier sacrifices
Actually, before the British arrived, India had been subjected to the Mogul Empire.
@@michaelsteane9926 Only few parts of india ruled by islam but British Christian Evangelicals occupied undivided India.
The only reason India accounted for a quarter of the world's wealth is because it accounted for a quarter of the world's population and this changed because around the same time that India was colonised, the industrial revolution began in Europe (Britain specifically).
@@W.M.Pitt1 By the way india is always a populated country
Population helps consumption but doesn't make world power.
India naturally an exporting nation before Colonisation.
@@W.M.Pitt1 It failed to keep up with the nations that were developing new technologies. Thus, without getting poorer in real terms, became comparatively poorer.
All colonial subjects were equal?What has this guy been smoking? What about segregated railway carriages, banning indigenous people from owning land,restricting access to education. You might have ended slavery , but you did introduce indentured labor and shipped millions of Indians as virtual slaves.
Where did this happen?
Virtual slaves?
@@mmaramotswe1024In the Caribbean and Fiji
You are confusing the class system with racism. White people were indentured workers. Racism is used to divide and conquer us....and you fell into the trap!!
You have heard of the caste system in India,i assume?
Wasn't slavery perpetuated by Arab slave traders and African tribal chiefs.
indentured labour was not restricted to the British either.
@@davidbarlow350 Did I ever say it was done only by the British? Stop pretending that you are somehow better than anyone else.
I was only pointing out that this Guy makes it out that the British were enlightened angels.
During WW2 3 million Indians starved to death because the British took all of their food
So did my ancestors in the 1800s as white ppl who lived North of England! So why do you never mention white poverty or suffering?
Like the 100s of young "white girls" suffering from 90s till now.
No they didn't. As you know it was many factors, the war and the weather being the biggest. Funny how you claim to not be anti British but always come out with this. Where are you from really?
Nothing to do with the Japanese occupying Burma denying food resources to India then, or Indian merchants hoarding all the food, or the population of Bengal massively increasing despite the area known to have regular famines long before the British arrived.
@@aalan4296 Spot on
You're right..the British empire was far far far worse!
Even Hitler mused over the fact that an empire that controlled 25% of the human population, was lecturing him on his invasions and conquest 😂
@@MARKCRASTO utter rubbish 🤣
The nation has a long history of major contributions to the arts and sciences. William Shakespeare is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the history of English literature. British scientists discovered gravity, hydrogen and penicillin and developed theories in aerodynamics and natural evolution
That’s just a quick Google 100s of years of history
The empire was created by commerce not invasion. This is the problem - too many people with engineered opinions and zero knowledge of history.
Yhe with an awful lot of help from the natives how else do you think they done it get real 😊
One of my relatives was present at the liberation of Belsen and you claim the British Empire was worse? Really!
My late Sri Lankan gran advised me that out of all the coloniser (Dutch, Portuguese and British) it was only the British that didn’t use torture. And her husband, my grandad, fought for the British army against Nazis in WW2.
