British history is world history - how do we teach it to empower all communities while respecting their sufferings? | Sam Hall
Let us celebrate the Churchills, the Kents and the Gurungs of this world. But to do so we must desegregate history… British History is not the exclusive preserve of white people any more than our island home is. These rolling hills, these pastures green, these lakes and derelict mills stand on a tapestry that all can enjoy and call their home. Neither Black Lives Matter nor All Lives Matter, but All British History Matters.
An updated Britishness must retain the past | Dan Mikhaylov
Respectful of their nation’s substantial cultural legacy, Britons are among those who give plentiful store by tradition. Many are enamoured with their forebears' idiosyncratic sport – cricket – and the dynamic pub culture continues to characterise the local experience, even though 13,000 pubs have vanished from the face of the United Kingdom since 2000.
