“Denigrated EVERYTHING Britain Has Stood For!” Rod Liddle On Pride In Britain’s History Plummeting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by columnist, Rod Liddle, to discuss the decline in national pride.
A new survey has found a sharp fall in the proportion of people who take pride in the country’s achievements.
While 86% in 2013 stated that they were proud of Britain’s history, this fell to less than two thirds (64%) 10 years on.

There's no affordable housing ,no dentist's ,high crime ,tent cities no one cares about the next person. I'm ashamed of what it's gone like and glad my grandparents can't see it.
That's what 14 years of Conservative government gets you.
I think Blair started it way before then! If people don't like our country we all know what they can do!

I’m a teacher and I don’t buy into any of this crap that is being taught. I’m not thick either but I’m one of the few right of centre people in the profession that I’m aware of.
Great 👍 and do collect actual, physical, history books.

I'm English & proud of our country, those who hate our country should go to live in a country they love, we need a government who puts Britain first, unfortunately the present government will not.
They won't go somewhere else and so the question is how does this attitude change? More people like you, more people KNOWING about their new country, the new country INSISTING people know more about it and on and on.
@@kingshousetube More factual information, not this distortion of history pushed by the extreme left. They peddle misinformation. Eg Nelson is a racist because they use a forged letter to discredit him. Churchill did not cause the Bengal famine - the evidence is in Cabinet papers in Kew etc etc

It IS insane but most of what's happening has been planned by Marxists, it started in the 60's and taken this long to where we are.
Heaven forbid anyone would attack British history, apart from two thirds of the world 🤣
Great Britain and the Commonwealth and her Allied nations ie the USA are the representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ and his everlasting eternal Kingdom on this earth. We are in essence the 'Israel of God' and 'Zion' upon this earth, the dwelling place and Spiritual Presence of God and his Truth and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore in the endtimes just before THE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST we will come under incredible attack from SATAN AND HIS FORCES (using ISLAM, and the VATICAN JESUIT LED NEW WORLD ORDER ). This is the TIME OF SATANS LOOSING FOR A SHORT SEASON just prior to the RESURRECTION AND DAY OF JUDGEMENT AND THE LORD JESUS CHRISTS RETURN AND THE BEGINNING OF GODS ETERNAL NEW KINGDOM WHERE ONLY THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SHALL DWELL AND ALL EVIL WILL BE DESTROYED FOREVER (Rev 20:10-15, Rev 21 an 22). EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS JESUS CHRIST IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. THIS WILL SURELY COME TO PASS. Read Revelation 20, 21 and 22. Rev 20 decribes the 'binding of Satan a 1000 years which is symbolic of Christ destroying the works and power of Satan (which is sin and death) by dying on the cross and rising again victorious over sin and death forever. The 1000 years represents the last 2000 years of Christianity filling the earth and ruling and reigning over it. The Gk word can mean thousand or thousands and is symbolic as is all of Revelations. Rev 20:7-9 speaks of our current situation where at the end of Christianity's dominance upon the earth we will find ourselves surrounded by our enemies. BUT HAVE FAITH AND KEEP STANDING FOR GOD WILL DESTROY OUR ENEMIES BY FIRE AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH THE BREATH OF HIS COMING (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, 2 Peter 3:3-18)
Perfectly put Rod,the soul of this great country is being attacked from all sides and has been for decades.
@@rich4604 where was rod 20 years ago
No voice to alert us mere mortals
It can only be attacked if we let it.Stand up for our country and be proud they can't take what you don't give them no one can take your pride away.
@@MaureenWard-j8nhe was writing articles about him not becoming a teacher because he would want to sleep with the students. Blokes a nonce.

It is not a 'small point' that since 2013 millions and millions of people have flooded into Britain. It is a very very big point!
So WHY are all these individuals flooding into Britain?
Indigenous Britons be proud of your very great country!!!!
Since 1997 Blair started it at mass immigration from 40,000 per year to over 300,000
How many or what % are from X colonel
He was being ironic!?!
@@Bran9it’s irrelevant from which x colony they are from as that was 4 generations ago. Also apart from newer countries Britain did not transplant people en masse as colonists.
I was born in Portugal and came to England as an immigrant. Before I got my British citizenship I had to study British history. My wife is British and she didn't know half of the British history I learned. This shows how much of British history is told in our schools.
You are the type of immigrant Brits have no problem with. Well done on doing things legally.
The 'British history' being taught today is about the last 50 years.Anything before that is being 'rewritten' to suite the 'leftwing agenda!
We have a long history..we helped your Royal family move to Brazil!😉
Rod is right about academics. I've been saying this for years.
Academic, but stupid.
Google what Rod said about why he couldn’t become a teacher….what he said about the students. Disgusting.
This man Rod Liddle speaks sense….. not heard much today…… 💯💯
@@thelawonphotography-g7p they all talk 🦜
But to no avail still no resolve

Well said Rod. The question is what or who are behind this? I' ve my own ideas , 66 year old here, but something very sinister has been afoot here for 30 odd years , and it's getting bang out of order now, and getting dangerous too.
The WEF, EU, WHO and the UN.
It's all being done for a single goal: One World Government.
The "who" is less important than the "why", in my opinion.
And it's largely the victorious nations in the world wars now taking the hit.
Paranoia.
The adverts on tv say it all.
They show the Britain that our leaders want in the future.
Don't buy those products.
Love Rod !
I love my country, i hate this government,

That's what 14 years of Conservative government will get you.
That isn't the fault of our past , it's the fault of the present , and that includes you and me for allowing it
True, who is to blame when a good number of people in the very mentioned country think their history does not matter. They think it is welcoming rubbishing their country. They seem clueless as to why anyone wants to come to these shores. I think it is this cluelessness that makes them stand with those who want to simply take over or impose their own way of life even though it is unBriitish so to speak.
@@Raven44453 You're not wrong. But unless you're a politician or someone else with a lot of power I wouldn't be so hard on yourself.

much...and yet allow those who must not be named to promote their own faith and

He's right about Teachers, they are as thick as mince & most are extremely lazy

Multi-culturalism was inflicted on the English people.

On GB News today a history teacher put the point of people have lost pride cause they have learnt about the UK and slavery and nobody especially the aging Irish presenter did not challenge her one iota. Time these people were put back in their box teaching one side of an issue, this is what happens when you let politics into the classroom.
Blame someone else, the rudy old Irish were always a great scape goat 😂
Rod made some silly points as well.
They should be forced to watch Carl Benjamin's (Sargon) viral British Empire and Slavery video.
‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ Starmer must go - NOW!
How? The next election is 5 years from now!
It really is getting way out of hand ! There has to be a way. They blatantly lied for starters, and as soon as they got in no 10 started turning on the very people who put them there. They made promises to get into power and then broke every single one within days of being in there. Thus has to be against some law. Fraud ? 🤷🏻♀️
What are you going to do? Whinge online?! Starmer must be bricking it 😂
They never mention the defeat of fascism in Western Europe.
Or the numbers of dead and wounded British men and women - eg 55,500+ dead Bomber Command air crew. I think it's 35,000 Arctic convoy the youngest a cabin boy 14y ....
We can be proud of our stand against fascism in Western Europe but we didn't defeat it, we helped the USSR and USA defeat it.
@@vatsmith8759 And they in turn helped us.
Much of what we've been taught about WW2 are lies.
@@Nickel1147 I'm not denying any of that. Yes, we stood up to it alone for a while but if the USA and USSR hadn't joined in we would have eventually been forced into some sort of peace treaty with Hitler. We ended up as junior partners in the alliance which did eventually defeat fascism.

Nice to see Rod looking so well. It suits him √√
Unbelievable what is being taught in schools now. This must change. There’s bad history in every country do be proud of your country. I’m English living in Australia and I’m saddened what’s being taught to young children.
Like what?
He's right about the teachers on the Chase - they are so thick, and if they don't get an easy answer right they will normally say they don't teach that subject - even if the question is "what is the capital of France", they'll say they don't teach Geography!
When ever you are challenged on the colonial influence in Africa, all you have to sight is the situation in what was Southern Rhodesia, under British rule, then what it became under Mugabe when it achieved home rule. From being the jewel of Africa to an absolute basket case in a matter of months when he expelled all the white farmers and the economy crashed through the floor! It still is a shadow of what it was prior to independence!
South Africa is no better.
I am proud of my country, its tradition and culture, but not so much under the current regime. Everybody should take pride in their roots, culture and country. Nobody today is responsible for slavery, we were not alive then. Most of the population's ancestors were poor, living and working in horrible conditions during the industrial revolution.

Foreigners come here, foreigners work their way in high places, some of them have an agenda, that is why we see all this anti British stuff..
No, it is the indigenous establishment that has created the situation. The fundamental is whether you support British values and Western Civilisation, whether you are foreign or not. Many indigenous don’t. Many foreigners or second generation immigrants like me do.

So sad what has become of the UK.
Traditional British Values - What We Stand For (When We’re at Our Best)
Fair Play - From the football pitch to the courtroom, the idea that everyone deserves a fair go is deeply ingrained in British culture. It’s why we’ve been at the forefront of justice and human rights. We believe in playing by the rules and giving everyone their due. Sure, we have our off days, but at our best, Britain is about fairness in all walks of life.
Respect for the Individual - Whether you’re the Queen or the person next door, the belief that everyone deserves respect is a cornerstone of British values. It’s why we hold the door open for each other, say “cheers” a lot, and try to live by the “live and let live” mantra. We’ve long been known for being polite (even if we’re quietly grumbling under our breath).
Stiff Upper Lip (Resilience) - Now, this one gets a bit of stick sometimes, but let’s not knock it. The ability to keep calm and carry on has seen us through the Blitz, economic challenges, and even the occasional queue at the post office. Resilience is what helps us weather tough times, without making a fuss (or at least pretending we’re not).
Innovation and Ingenuity - Britain’s a small island, but we’ve always found big ideas. From the Industrial Revolution to the World Wide Web, we’ve got a knack for thinking outside the box. It’s in our DNA to challenge the norm and push boundaries, proving that clever thinking can change the world.
Community and Togetherness - Whether it’s cheering on a local sports team or rallying around for a good cause, community spirit is a value we hold dear. We’ve always been at our best when we work together, supporting neighbours, strangers, and the country as a whole. There’s that deep-rooted belief that we’re in this together, even when times are tough.
Tolerance and Open-Mindedness - Britain’s long history of being a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and traditions has shaped our identity. We take pride in being a nation that (for the most part) welcomes differences and champions tolerance. It’s part of the reason why multiculturalism is something we often celebrate-diversity makes us stronger.
Defender of Democracy - From the Magna Carta to Parliament, Britain’s been one of the world’s champions of democracy. The idea that power should be balanced and accountable is one we exported across the globe, and we’ve long been a voice for freedom and fairness on the world stage.
Love of Humour and Wit - Let’s face it, we love a bit of banter. Whether it’s a cheeky quip or some self-deprecating humour, we use wit to bring people together and lighten even the darkest of days. There’s a reason why British comedy is known worldwide - it’s how we cope, connect, and keep perspective.
These values reflect who we are at our best-where we come from, and what we can still be. Sure, we’ve faced some rough patches, but when we tap into these traditions, we show the world what makes Britain a place worth taking pride in. Let’s remind ourselves and each other that, with a bit of effort, we can always bring our best back to the forefront.
A question 'are you proud of Britain/' is ambiguous. It could mean the Britain that we have today, created by the uniparty. Better to ask 'are you proud of the HISTORY of Britain'.
It was one of the questions
Right.
I have cancelled my national trust stopped watching tv and bought loads of second hand books by great British authors. Just across the water French flags fly, French language spoken with pride, bells ring out from the Catholic Churches and the Marie has pride in its towns whoa is us to take on American crap
Excellent! Cannot trust anything 'online'.
I cancelled my NT membership this year after 50 years. For too long I realised I was giving them the benefit of the doubt but not any more.
Sure you have? Which of these books have you actually read? France is a decent country with a decent safety net for its citizens, that’s why the French love France. What is there to love about England since it’s been completely boomered.
Travelled thru london today for the 1st time in years,sorry to say it’s over,theirs no coming back from what’s happened,it’s a zoo
I went last in that really hot summer 2003, far too busy etc, my sons have been in recent years for music gigs, they have been in pubs, clubs and have been threatened or seen men run in wearing balaclavas brandishing knives, men in cars the same, threatened in shops for being white! These idiots see your white hear your accent then they try to start an argument.From what I’ve seen online it’s a hell hole, other cities the same.
It's far from over mate. Pushback is only just beginning. We are still the majority. It just takes someone with the will, and the balls to do it. Deport, deport, deport... Stop all immigration for 10-20yrs. Get rid of the wronguns among us, and ban is lam etc.. We are gonna take the West back.
It's not over, it's barely even begun. People haven't even started fighting back yet.
I'm almost 80 and I despair of Britain as it is now. I agree with every word Rod Liddle said.....
They allowed it because they're cowards. And as long their paycheck comes on time, they couldn't care less.
Rod's great.
The university’s should have been stopped teaching CRT to students, the government has been so slack on this, this journalist is spot on saying how their countries were improved by Britain, especially as so many immigrants invaded us yet want to change our country into where they left, I think it’s very worrying, we are having less children while they are having large families, it will be Britianistan in 20/30 years, our families will have little hope living among them, convert or leave is their only option, it’s absolutely madness that our governments have allowed this and are even supporting this outcome

The British did not start slavery, African men and women stated slavery in Africa and it continues in Africa today.

It is an absolute disgrace that schools are lying about our history to our kids. We entrust teachers with our childrens education whilst in school. Kids should be told the facts. That's how they learn the good and the bad, which helps them to make informed and balanced decisions throughout their adult lives. Not everything in the world is perfect, but that's life. If kids don't learn how to deal with these things and how to solve problems, etc, is it any wonder that when they're faced with a problem, they have a complete meltdown? Now, with this woke, nanny state people are fearful of any criticism or negativity at all. Whatever happened to good old-fashioned sticks and stones for crying out loud. TEACHERS tell our kids the bloody truth, not the woke version of it!
Hold on a moment,is there not a syllabus laid out that has to be followed. I am certain the vast majority of teachers do so. Stop running them down,I wonder if any of you armchair critics would like a stent in a class room not alone teach
Rod is always a good to listen to because he's an intelligent man speaking the truth. Absolutely spot on with his analysis of Britain today. Kevin also is not scared of speaking out about the annihalation of our once great country.

I'm terrified for the future of my grand children living in a shanty country
I wonder if schoolchildren in Nigeria, Ghana and other African countries are being taught about the slave trade that went on in those countries. And instead of this constant denigration of the past, why don't these myopic academics, government institutions and media outlets do something about the 40 million people in modern slavery NOW. No, it's much easier to constantly criticise dead people.

Imagine coming to a country that you believe is safe and will provide a chance for success, and you want to change it into what you ran away from.
I wasnt asked but I am proud of my country but I am not proud of what it has become and those are 2 different things
Rod Liddle is 100% correct
Such a bad country half the world wants to live here
Unfortunately many Brits are leaving the country and Labour now welcomes illegal immigrants instead.
The problem lies at the heart of this once great country.This two party system has now run its course.These two ancient parties have outlived their usefullness.The 'history' they represented is no more.The one that was supposed to be a sort of 'gatekeeper'of the nation list touch with reality .The other Labour just desperate for a last slice of the cake will do nothing over its allotted 5 years other than to feather its own nest and perform in Westminster with lots of soundbites but do nothing to improve things for the average man in the street..It will make lots of noises about immigration but achieve nothing.Britain is now close to being declared a 'failed state'.
Brits with any intelligence or talent are leaving.
Very well said...need.more interviews like this❤
And we're never going to get our heritage or culture back..EVER
An Afro Caribbean teacher (in England) decided to engage me in a conversation about slavery, thinking he could roll me over and make me squirm… until I said we can have that discussion anytime so long as it includes the Barbary Pirates and the efforts and funds we expended as a nation to destroy the slave trade. His reply? “Maybe that’s a conversation for another day…” and walked away. Well that’s okay be what is he teaching his classes of 7 to 11 year olds? I shudder to think…
So why the hell do they want to live in Britain!

I'm not proud to be British any more. I used to be but I am ashamed of what governments have done to this once imperfect but beautiful country. Winston and Maggie will be turning in their graves.
History isn’t being taught in schools. Most children and adults have no idea about our past. I do, and there are things we ought not to be proud of.
What I don’t like in modern Britain is what it’s become. Women and men badly dressed with tattoos, kids munching Hoola-hoops for breakfast, fly-tipping, dishonest politicians, the destruction of industry, the waste lands of the industrial centres, the collapse of the car and shipbuilding industries, the failure of the police and the NHS. Education that leaves children barely able to read, write and express themselves. Potholes, overcrowding, poor quality new housing and businesses where profit for shareholders is all that matters.
In modern Britain I can find almost nothing to be proud of.
Rod for PM
Ha, about teachers on quiz shows, I have been saying the same thing for years, they really are as thick as mince.
BRILLIANT ROD LIDDLE .... More please.

Learn the language then. Bad grammar is disrespecting to the English.
shut up you muppet
Same thing is happening throughout the Anglo-sphere, as well as western Europe. By design.
Thank God we still have our Black History ! The more people learn about that time that David Lammy went on Mastermind, the better !
Join the SDP and fight back
or UKIP or Reform
Not sure about anything with "social" and "democratic" in the title. Plus I still remember Shirly Williams, so... not likely!
@@daryllportas8453 it is nothing to do with those old fruits. You should check them out, by far the most sensible policies. Unfortunately they do not have any traction.
The only party to join if you want to fight for this country is Reform UK.
